The Scotland skipper has committed himself to the Warriors until the summer of 2028 and says he can achieve all his ambitions at Scotstoun.
Speaking at a press conference ahead tomorrow's meeting with South Africa, Tuipulotu said: "In terms of making my decision, I had the option of maybe going to the [English] Premiership or over to France.
"I was pretty clear with my agent and I was pretty open and honest with Glasgow that I would be exploring my opportunities elsewhere, just because I think that's just the right thing to do.
"When it came down to it, I had maybe a few offers somewhere else and the Glasgow offer, and the Glasgow one just made sense to me."
Tuipulotu had a spell in Japan with Yamaha Jubilo before signing for Glasgow in 2021 and was a key figure in last season's URC win.
"My heart's really in it at Glasgow and I think that just correlates to how I want to play," he added.
"I suppose there's always the temptation to try to go somewhere else. But I had already moved from Melbourne to Japan and Japan to Glasgow and it was kind of a sense of also I'm happy where I am.
"So why try to search for something more, somewhere else when I'm happy right where I am?
"I suppose when you do finally sign there might be a bit of regret after. But I only have relief that I didn't have to go somewhere else maybe to chase money or play at a so-called higher profile club.
"I'm just happy where I am at Glasgow. I have a pretty good shot of chasing silverware at Glasgow, so why move?"
