India is speedily and enthusiastically embracing AI, says ‘Queen of the Internet’, well known analyst and venture capitalist Mary Meeker in her 2025 Trends report which focuses on AI. The 340 page report says the number of ChatGPT users in India has surpassed that in the US.

“We believe this trend marks the onset of an AI-native search era, where users no longer seek answers—they expect synthesis. ChatGPT’s ascent compresses a decade-long search learning curve into months. This isn’t just about speed—it’s about the shift from keyword hunting to context-rich prompting,” Sanchit Vir Gogia, Founder & CEO, Greyhound Research, said. However, “LLM enthusiasm must be balanced with governance and traceability,” he cautions.

As quoted in The Hindu Business Line, in an article authored by  Vallari Sanzgiri & Sindhu Hariharan published on June 02, 2025.

Each one distills the full analysis into a sharp, executive-ready takeaway — combining our official Standpoint, validated through Pulse data from ongoing CXO trackers, and grounded in Fieldnotes from real-world advisory engagements.

ChatGPT’s Explosive Search Growth Signals a Redefinition of Human–Machine Interaction

Greyhound Flashpoint – ChatGPT reaching 365 billion annual searches in just two years—5.5x faster than Google—is not merely a growth story; it’s a signal of behavioural recalibration. Per the Greyhound CIO Pulse 2025, 67% of global CIOs now track prompt-based enterprise queries alongside traditional web search metrics. This data explosion is more than user enthusiasm—it’s enterprise workflow migration in real time. At Greyhound Research, we believe this trend marks the onset of an AI-native search era, where users no longer seek answers—they expect synthesis.

Greyhound Standpoint – According to Greyhound Research, ChatGPT’s ascent compresses a decade-long search learning curve into months. This isn’t just about speed—it’s about the shift from keyword hunting to context-rich prompting. Unlike Google’s link-based results, ChatGPT delivers structured reasoning. This changes not only how individuals search, but how businesses think. It lowers the barrier for complex queries, introduces conversational memory, and forces search incumbents to rethink not just their interface, but their algorithmic philosophy. For enterprise and consumer alike, the model of ‘search as lookup’ is giving way to ‘search as collaboration’.

Greyhound Pulse – The Greyhound CIO Pulse 2025 reveals that 73% of global IT decision-makers now consider LLMs (like ChatGPT) essential for employee self-service and real-time data navigation. While browser-based search remains dominant for discovery, LLMs are leading in decision support, internal documentation mining, and customer response generation. Notably, 44% of CIOs surveyed report redirecting resources from traditional enterprise search platforms toward agentic LLM deployments—especially in knowledge-heavy sectors like BFSI, healthcare, and legal services.

Greyhound Fieldnote – Per a recent Greyhound Fieldnote from a European telecommunications firm, their IT leadership observed that over 30% of internal queries previously routed through SharePoint or Google Workspace are now handled by a ChatGPT-powered assistant. While the move accelerated content retrieval and reduced internal helpdesk loads, it also exposed limitations—like hallucinations on regulatory matters. The firm has since enforced hybrid retrieval setups that anchor generative responses to verified corpuses. Similar cautionary pivots are surfacing across heavily regulated verticals, where LLM enthusiasm must be balanced with governance and traceability.
