Roti, Kapda, aur ChatGPT

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confessed, “I’d kind of forgotten how to function without it,” as a recent ChatGPT downtime left millions, from students to CEOs, grappling with disrupted workflows. For a tool boasting over 300 million weekly active users and processing a billion messages daily, this wasn’t just a technical hiccup—but a global wake-up call.

Businesses heavily reliant on ChatGPT, from startups like Engage AI to Fortune 500 giants like Coca-Cola and JPMorgan Chase, faced productivity slumps, delayed services, and potential revenue losses. To many professionals, the downtime felt like losing a trusted colleague mid-project.
