OpenAI launches a sub $5 ChatGPT plan in India | TechCrunch
OpenAI today launched a new, cheaper ChatGPT paid subscription plan in India called ChatGPT GO, priced at ₹399 per month ($4.60), which is more affordable than the ₹1,999 (about $23) per month Plus Plan. The company had turned on local currency pricing for all its plans a few days ago, and with this launch, it will also allow users to pay through UPI (Unified Payment Interface), India's payment framework. Nick Turley, VP at OpenAI and head of ChatGPT, said that this plan will increase the message, image generation, and file uploads by 10 times over the free tier. The ChatGPT Go plan will also enable better memory retention for more personalized responses, Turely said. "Making ChatGPT more affordable has been a key ask from users! We're rolling out Go in India first and will learn from feedback before expanding to other countries," Turley said. Tibor Blaho, a software engineer with a reputation for accurately leaking upcoming AI products, had previously teased this plan and its details. Last month, Turley noted that ChatGPT now has more than 700 million weekly users worldwide -- up from 500 million in March. OpenAI launched its updated image generator feature for ChatGPT in March, and since then it has seen an uptick in usage in India. According to app analytics firm AppFigures, India has been the leading country in terms of ChatGPT app downloads across platforms, with over 29 million downloads coming from the country in the last 90 days. However, the app only made $3.6 million in this period from users in the country. This move will likely nudge more consumers to subscribe to using ChatGPT more, given its pricing. Other AI companies have also made moves to attract users from the country's internet user base of over 850 million. Last month, Perplexity partnered with network provider Airtel to offer free Perplexity Pro subscriptions. Google also dished up a free AI Pro plan for India-based students for one year. While OpenAI's move is not giving out any freebies, local and affordable pricing will likely result in a better subscription conversion rate for ChatGPT in India.

OpenAI rolls out cheapest ChatGPT plan at $4.6 in India to chase growth
Aug 19 (Reuters) - ChatGPT maker OpenAI on Tuesday launched ChatGPT Go, a new India-only subscription plan priced at 399 rupees ($4.57) per month, its most affordable offering yet, as the company looks to deepen its presence in its second-largest market. Global companies often offer cheaper subscription plans for India's price-sensitive market, targeting the nearly one billion internet users in the world's most populous nation. The plan allows users to send up to ten times more messages and generate ten times more images compared to the free version, while also offering faster response times. Message limits increase with higher-tier subscription plans. ChatGPT Go is designed for Indians who want greater access to ChatGPT's advanced capabilities at a more affordable price, the Microsoft-backed (MSFT.O), opens new tab startup said in a statement. The top-tier version of ChatGPT - ChatGPT Pro - is priced at 19,900 rupees/month in India, while ChatGPT Plus, its mid-range plan, costs 1,999 rupees/month. Earlier this year, CEO Sam Altman met with India's IT minister and discussed a plan to create a low-cost AI ecosystem. India is OpenAI's second-largest market by user base after the United States and may soon become the biggest, Altman said recently.

OpenAI bets on India with cheapest ChatGPT plan at $4.6 before global rollout
OpenAI currently has two other paid plans: ChatGPT Plus and its top-tier ChatGPT Pro. OpenAI on Tuesday launched a subscription plan in India priced at 399 rupees ($4.57) a month, the ChatGPT maker's most affordable offering yet, as it looks to grow in its second-largest market by user base. The new plan, called ChatGPT Go, provides expanded access to the latest model GPT‑5, and other features at a lower cost, the Microsoft-backed firm said in a statement on its website. Nick Turley, who leads ChatGPT, said in a social media post that the plan provides 10 times more message limits, image generations and file uploads, plus double the memory compared to the free tier. "Making ChatGPT more affordable has been a key ask from users! We're rolling out Go in India first and will learn from feedback before expanding to other countries," Turley added. OpenAI currently has two other paid plans: ChatGPT Plus, which costs 1,999 rupees a month in India or $20 internationally, and its top-tier ChatGPT Pro, priced at 19,900 rupees a month in India or $200 internationally. In February, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met with Indian IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and discussed the country's plan of creating a low-cost AI ecosystem. Altman lauded India's rapid AI adoption, calling it an important market for the company. OpenAI's latest GPT-5 AI model was released earlier this month to mixed reviews. Some critics complained that it had a less intuitive feel, with negative feedback resulting in the company eventually restoring access to legacy GPT-4 models for paying customers.

OpenAI's ChatGPT Go plan arrives in India only for under $5 per month
OpenAI has debuted its cheapest subscription yet for India only, product head Nick Turley announced on X. Called ChatGPT Go, the 390 rupee ($4.60) GPT-5 plan will offers users 10 times more message limits, image generation and file uploads than the free offering. "Making ChatGPT more affordable has been a key ask from users," Turley wrote. "We're rolling out Go in India first and will learn from feedback before expanding to other countries." The new plan was leaked earlier and OpenAI recently introduced local currency pricing in India via India's payment framework. With that, ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Pro are now offered for 1,999 rupees ($22.95) and 19,990 rupees ($229.50) -- more expensive than the $20 and $200 users paid prior to the local currency rollout. ChatGPT Go now gives local users a more budget-oriented option. However, it doesn't offer access to GPT-5's advanced reasoning, has "limited deep research," no custom GPTs and lower message, image and file upload limits compared to the higher-end subscriptions, according to OpenAI's plan page in India. India is a key market for OpenAI, being second only to the US by user base. CEO Sam Altman recently met with India's IT minister about a plan to introduce lower-cost AI plans. According to Turley's X post, it looks like ChatGPT Go will come to other countries soon, though the company has yet to say which ones. Turley recently said that ChatGPT now has 700 million weekly users globally, up from 500 million in March.

ChatGPT Go explained - 5 things you need to know about the new cheap subscription plan
OpenAI just launched a brand new budget subscription tier for ChatGPT, called Go. ChatGPT Go is the first time the company has offered a subscription plan for less than ChatGPT Plus' $20/£20 a month, providing an option for users who need more than the limited free option, yet don't want to fork out the hefty fee for Plus. With any new subscription, there's lots of information to sink your teeth into, so we've pulled together the five biggest things you need to know about ChatGPT Go. ChatGPT Go is currently only available in India. Wait, wait, before you stop reading, hear me out: OpenAI's support page hints at the budget plan coming to other countries as well: "This subscription is initially available in India only. Other countries and regions may be eligible in the future." I suspect OpenAI is testing the waters before launching a budget plan in countries like Australia, the US, and the UK. In India, ChatGPT GO is priced at ₹399 a month ($4.60). Considering the Plus plan costs ₹1,999 (about $23) a month, we can suspect a similar price point should this plan ever make it to the West. The main benefit of ChatGPT Go is higher rate limits, which, Head of ChatGPT, Nick Turley says, gives subscribers "more access to ChatGPT's most popular features." These include 10x higher message limits, 10x more image generations, and 10x more file uploads. In Turley's announcement of ChatGPT Go's arrival, he said the new subscription tier has "2x longer memory compared with the free tier", which means those who pay the small fee will have a more reliable ChatGPT experience. Memory in any chatbot is incredibly important, allowing you to reference past conversations and prompt the AI to remember things that are important. Adding a longer memory is a big deal for those wanting to increase the ability of ChatGPT without spending a large amount of money on ChatGPT Plus. ChatGPT Plus subscribers get access to legacy models such as the incredibly popular GPT-4o. ChatGPT Go subscribers, however, do not get access to the older AI models and are instead limited to GPT-5. In my opinion, this is a faux pas from OpenAI, especially considering the backlash to the latest GPT-5 model and the clamouring from users to revert to 4o. Limiting 4o to ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers is bad enough, but not including it in the budget-friendly ChatGPT Go tier feels like a misstep. GPT-4o isn't the only thing missing from ChatGPT Go. In fact, ChatGPT Go subscribers will also not get access to OpenAI's video generation tool Sora. That's not all, Go subscribers can't access Connectors either, which means you won't be able to use ChatGPT with popular apps such as Gmail or Google Calendar. ChatGPT Go might be region-locked at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the budget subscription come to more countries in the very near future. I really worry that this is the start of paywalling ChatGPT, even more so than it currently is. I've found that ChatGPT's free tier is becoming increasingly limited, and by offering a middle ground like Go between the free option and Plus, OpenAI will be hoping more users are willing to pay to access AI. You better believe that if ChatGPT Go is successful in India, then it will be available in bigger markets soon. That said, I'm not sure that's a good thing.

OpenAI's ₹399 Wake Up Call for Indian AI Startups | AIM
For years, rivals here have been trying to build 'India's ChatGPT'. OpenAI has dropped its most aggressive play for India yet with ChatGPT Go, a ₹399 per month plan devised to give users higher limits on messages, image generation, uploads and memory. For the price of a Jio or Airtel 5G pack, or a Netflix mobile plan, users now get unlimited intelligence for the cost of unlimited calls. The move could prove to be a wake-up call -- if not a death knell -- for India's AI startups. For years, rivals here have been trying to build "India's ChatGPT", but none have reached the brand recognition OpenAI currently enjoys. Perplexity, for instance, has tied up with Airtel to bundle its Pro subscription at no cost. But even with such moves, nothing has come close to ChatGPT's reach. ChatGPT has already become synonymous with AI in India. And now, w

India becomes ground zero in the global AI race
India emerges as a key battleground for global AI dominance, with OpenAI leading the charge by establishing an Indian unit and launching localised, affordable AI solutions like ChatGPT Go. This move intensifies competition among tech giants like Google and Microsoft, sparking a price war and raising questions for local AI startups. India is no longer just another large market for global tech companies. It has suddenly become the frontline of the global race to dominate artificial intelligence. The latest signal came this week, when OpenAI formally set up an Indian unit and announced plans to open its first office in New Delhi later this year. "The level of excitement and opportunity for AI in India is incredible. India has all ingredients to become a global AI leader, amazing tech talent, a world-class developer ecosystem, and strong government support through the India AI Mission," said Sam Altman, co-founder and chief executive at OpenAI. "Opening our first office and building a local team is an important first step in our commitment to make advanced AI more accessible across the country and to build AI for India, and with India." For OpenAI, the move is not symbolic. India is now ChatGPT's second largest market globally and one of its fastest-growing. Weekly active users have quadrupled in the past year, with students making up the largest share of the user base anywhere in the world. India also ranks among the top five developer markets on OpenAI's platform. The company has already localised its offerings. ChatGPT Go, priced at ₹399 per month, comes with UPI integration to match Indian payment habits and is designed as a low-cost entry point into premium AI. It offers 10 times higher usage limits compared to the free tier and access to the latest GPT-5 model. This tier sits well below ChatGPT Plus at ₹1,999 and Pro at ₹19,900 per month. OpenAI has also launched initiatives like OpenAI Academy, an AI literacy programme in partnership with the Ministry of Electronics and IT, and expanded Indic language support in GPT-5. A new "Study Mode" is aimed directly at India's vast student base, guiding learners step by step through academic concepts. Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw welcomed the move: "OpenAI's decision to establish a presence in India reflects the country's growing leadership in digital innovation and AI adoption. As part of the IndiaAI Mission, we are building the ecosystem for trusted and inclusive AI, and we welcome OpenAI's partnership in advancing this vision to ensure the benefits of AI reach every citizen." Later this month, OpenAI will host its first Education Summit in India, followed by a Developer Day later this year. Hiring for local roles is already underway. Industry watchers say OpenAI is chasing its "Reliance Jio moment." Just as Jio reshaped telecom with low-cost data, OpenAI is betting that cheap, localised AI subscriptions will let it capture a billion-strong internet market. Also Read: ChatGPT is eyeing its Reliance Jio moment in India Nick Turley, OpenAI's vice president and head of ChatGPT, framed it this way on X: "We just launched ChatGPT Go in India, a new subscription tier that gives users in India more access to our most popular features... All for Rs. 399." By pricing in rupees, enabling UPI payments, and lowering the entry point, OpenAI is treating India as both a consumer market and a testbed. Success here could provide the template for scaling AI in other parts of the Global South. OpenAI is not entering a vacuum. Google, Microsoft, and Perplexity are already entrenched. Google's Gemini Premium plan costs ₹1,950 per month and integrates across Gmail, Docs, Meet, and Android, giving it an edge through sheer ecosystem reach. Perplexity AI, founded by an Indian, has positioned itself as a conversational search engine. It recently partnered with Airtel to offer its ₹17,000/year Pro plan free to millions of telecom subscribers. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's xAI has launched SuperGrok in India at ₹700 per month, steeply discounted from its global price. The result is a price war. Grammarly slashed its subscription to ₹250 a month. Google is offering free Gemini Pro access for college students. OpenAI's ₹399 plan is far below its global rates. "We have entered an era where the AI model makers have started racing towards more users (and, therefore, more data) and leadership positions. India, with its 1.4 billion people, is a clear target," said AI analyst Jaspreet Bindra, to The Hindu. For homegrown players, the global rush raises existential questions. Unicorns like Krutrim, and challengers like Sarvam AI and BharatGPT, are building India-first large language models. Others such as Qure.ai, Niramai, Mad Street Den, and Yellow.ai have carved niches in health, fashion, and customer support. But with global giants offering cheap, powerful models and scooping up top talent, many Indian startups may have to collaborate instead of competing head-on. The race to create foundational models is capital-intensive, and Indian firms face an uphill climb without scale and deep pockets. India's emergence as an AI hub is also tied to geopolitics. With China tightening controls on AI models and the US wary of Beijing's progress, India offers an open, democratic counterweight. For companies like OpenAI, succeeding in India means not just millions of new users but also the chance to shape the next generation of AI developers and researchers. The Indian government has seized on the moment. President Droupadi Murmu, in her Independence Day address, said she hoped India would become "the global hub for AI by 2047." She pointed to the IndiaAI Mission, which aims to build models suited to India's needs while ensuring inclusivity. The government has also positioned AI as part of its wider digital strategy, alongside national highway projects, railway modernisation, and rural internet expansion, painting it as a tool for both governance and growth. The sudden heat around AI in India is a mix of demographics, infrastructure, and timing. With the world's largest youth population, a thriving developer community, and a price-sensitive but digitally savvy market, India is the proving ground for how generative AI can scale globally. For users, the price war is a windfall: more choice, lower prices, and faster rollouts of advanced models. For companies, India is no longer a peripheral market. It's the core battleground where the future of AI adoption may well be decided, in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Delhi as much as in Silicon Valley or Beijing. As Altman put it, "to build AI for India, and with India."

OpenAI ChatGPT Go Plan in India at ₹399 - 2025 Pricing Model Compared
OpenAI has launched a new model for pricing the ChatGPT Go plan at just ₹399 per month in India, signaling a major shift in global AI pricing strategy. Positioned as an affordable yet powerful option, the Go plan bridges the gap between free access and premium subscriptions. Here's a detailed comparison of all five pricing models in 2025-Free, Go, Plus, Team, and Pro, and how India's exclusive Go plan is redefining accessibility. OpenAI launching the ChatGPT Go plan for only ₹399 a month in India is not only a local test it's a sign of how the company is reconfiguring its pricing stack to reach new audiences. By placing Go below Plus, Pro, and Team, OpenAI has built one of the most tiered subscription stacks in AI. This breakdown examines each one of the five individual and small-team plans Free, Go, Plus, Pro, and Team more closely with a side-by-side comparison to assist you in making your choice of which plan best suits your workflow. The Free plan is the beginner's plan. It has a cost of ₹0 and allows informal users to use ChatGPT with basic limits on messages and tools. Whereas OpenAI does not provide explicit caps, Free is intentionally limiting. It pushes those who require dependability or more sophisticated tools into paid levels. For students, occasional users, or first-timers with AI, Free is quite sufficient. But when you reach repeated usage limits or require features such as sophisticated data analysis or extended file upload, Free rapidly reveals its constraints. Available in India only, ChatGPT Go is available at ₹399 per month and is the value unlock for those who have grown beyond Free but don't wish to pay ₹1,999 for Plus. The plan offers: More messages than Free, larger file uploads, increased image creation, deeper data analysis, and longer memory. With UPI support and regional language features, it fits in with India's digital landscape. In essence, Go makes ChatGPT a more affordable day-to-day tool for students, solo creators, and cost-conscious professionals. OpenAI is hoping that making this happen at this price point will lead to massive growth in adoption in one of the world's fastest-growing AI markets. Although there are fewer features than Plus, its low price makes it the most affordable premium AI plan in the world. It is intended as a "bridge" between the Free and Plus plans. Then there is ChatGPT Plus, which costs ₹1,999 a month in India (or €23/£20 in the EU). This is the plan most serious individual users opt for. It greatly expands capabilities: Expanded message limits, file uploads, data analysis, and image generation. It includes access to deep research tools and multiple reasoning models and voice and video features, including advanced voice mode and screen sharing with codex agents. For writers, analysts, solo entrepreneurs, and knowledge workers, Plus is the default productivity motor. In contrast to Go, it's not merely greater quotas; it unleashes qualitatively different tools capable of managing more sophisticated workflows and collaboration tasks. The pinnacle of the solo pricing tier is ChatGPT Pro, which costs ₹19,999 a month in India (or $200/€229/£200 elsewhere). That is not for recreational users; it's reserved for operators who expect regular access to the best models OpenAI has. Pro comes with Unlimited message and upload access, pro reasoning access to GPT-5, and Research preview of upcoming features. This is the plan for professionals doing research, R&D, high-risk content creation, or high-end coding contexts. For them, the price doesn't feature itself; it's about time saved and reliability in volume. Whereas Free, Go, Plus, and Pro are for individuals, ChatGPT Team is the first level designed specifically for organisations. The Team plan costs ₹ 2,099 per user per month. Team offers: Shared workspaces for several users, Organisational-level admin controls and governance, more usage limits, and greater availability than individual plans For small businesses, startups, or groups of creators, the plan aggregates use into a single hub. The benefit is not merely per-user access but group efficiency -- teams can organize prompts, GPTs, and resources as a group. OpenAI does not release INR pricing for Team, maintaining it in USD. That's how to make the decision: stay with Free if your use is casual, sporadic, or exploratory. You can step up to Go if you are in India and need higher reliability, higher numbers of messages, and data analysis without spending a fortune. Select Plus if you are a daily creator or knowledge worker who requires richer tools and more profound research capabilities. Select Pro if you operate mission-critical workflows that demand the latest reasoning models and steady throughput. Choosing a team of collaboration, governance, and centralization are more important than single pricing. This segmentation ensures users at all points, from casual learners to enterprise teams, have a plan that is right. Five-variant ChatGPT pricing by OpenAI is now among the most sophisticated in AI. By adding the Go plan at ₹399, India has become the laboratory for a new pricing strategy: increase adoption by reducing initial cost without sacrificing premium users on Plus, Pro, and Team. For consumers, the actual choice is easy: Free to try, Go for value, plus for productivity, Pro for heavy lifting, and Team for teaming. The end result? A clear value ladder that matches users at every stage of their AI journey, with India positioned at the centre of OpenAI's growth strategy.

ChatGPT is eyeing its Reliance Jio moment in India
OpenAI is targeting the Indian market with ChatGPT Go, a cheaper subscription. It costs Rs 399 per month. This offers more access than the free tier. India is a key market for OpenAI. They are customizing services for Indian users. UPI payments are now accepted. Competition is increasing from Gemini and Perplexity AI. A few months ago, OpenAI, the artificial intelligence (AI) research and deployment company which owns ChatGPT, was reportedly in discussions with Reliance Industries over potential partnerships to expand their artificial intelligence offerings in the country. A possibility being discussed involved a relationship between Reliance Jio and OpenAI to distribute ChatGPT. While there has been no confirmation about this partnership, OpenAI is now eying its own Jio moment -- the potential of one-billion internet consumer market which the American company is trying to tap with low-cost offerings. OpenAI has dived into the bottom of the AI market pyramid by launching a new, more affordable subscription tier in India called ChatGPT Go, priced at Rs 399 per month. The announcement was made by Nick Turley, OpenAI's vice president and head of ChatGPT, on X (formerly Twitter): "We just launched ChatGPT Go in India, a new subscription tier that gives users in India more access to our most popular features: 10x higher message limits, 10x more image generations, 10x more file uploads, and 2x longer memory compared with our free tier. All for Rs. 399." This new tier is far more affordable than OpenAI's other existing plans. The top-tier version of ChatGPT, ChatGPT Pro, is priced at Rs 19,900/month in India, while ChatGPT Plus, the mid-range plan, costs Rs 1,999/month. For its mass market strategy, OpenAI is leveraging a mass market tool. Its users in India will now see subscription prices in rupees and can make payments via UPI (Unified Payment Interface), a move likely aimed at improving accessibility for common users. India is ChatGPT's second-biggest market after the United States and may well become the biggest soon. By the number of installs, however, India is the top market, accounting for 13.7% of lifetime downloads, compared with second place, the US, which accounted for 10.3% of all downloads, TechCrunch has reported. OpenAI's strategy to customise its services for mass users comes at a time when several players, especially Gemini and Perplexity, are eying India's vast consumer market where common people are increasingly using AI chatbots instead of internet search engines. OpenAI aims to do what Reliance did with its low-cost strategy in India's telecom market, accumulating millions of users and retaining them with cheaper plans. However, OpenAI is likely to face intense competition from its rivals. Designed specifically for the Indian market, this localised, cost-effective ChatGPT subscription signals a strategic pivot for OpenAI toward one of the world's most dynamic technology ecosystems. While India has long been a high-engagement market for global tech players, this marks the first time OpenAI has introduced a geography-specific pricing model tailored to local user needs, payment habits and price sensitivities. India is not just another large market. It is a unique combination of scale, youth population and digital infrastructure. With over 1.4 billion people, a booming startup scene, and the world's highest mobile internet usage, the country presents a fertile ground for mass adoption of generative AI. OpenAI's move reflects both a recognition of this opportunity and a calculated bet on India becoming the proving ground for scalable AI deployment in other countries in the Global South ChatGPT Go sits strategically between the free tier and the more expensive Plus and Pro offerings, providing a balanced mix of capability and accessibility. At Rs 399 per month, it offers significantly enhanced usage limits compared to the free version, including access to the latest GPT-5 model, faster performance, priority response times, and expanded message caps. What sets ChatGPT Go apart is not just its pricing, but its thoughtful localisation. For the first time, OpenAI has enabled Indian users to subscribe using UPI. Additionally, all billing is presented in rupees, eliminating friction related to currency conversion and international payments. These product decisions reflect a deeper understanding of local user behavior and a commitment to reduce the economic and procedural barriers to AI adoption. India has rapidly emerged as one of OpenAI's most engaged markets. The demand is not limited to urban knowledge workers. It extends across students, independent creators, developers and small businesses seeking productivity tools, creative assistants and educational companions. This growing user base exists within a uniquely price-sensitive market. The previous $20/month Plus plan, though successful in the West, limited penetration among Indian users who require value at lower price points. By offering a Rs 399/month alternative, OpenAI has significantly expanded its addressable market. Rather than relying on premium margins, the company appears to be following a high-volume, low-cost model, a strategy long proven effective in India across sectors from telecom to fintech. Furthermore, India provides the ideal testbed for product development. Its user diversity, mobile-first orientation, and rapid feedback cycles make it possible to fine-tune features before rolling them out globally. By selecting India as the first country for a localised plan launch, OpenAI is treating it not just as a revenue market, but as a strategic lab for future growth models. These choices indicate a nuanced strategy, combining ease of access for users with infrastructural alignment for future enterprise, educational, and governmental integrations. Despite its strengths, the ChatGPT Go plan does not come without challenges. At Rs 399/month, the subscription is still out of reach for many users in India's Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns and rural regions. While more accessible than the Plus plan, further price segmentation or student-focused pricing may be required to achieve true mass scale. Language support remains another critical hurdle. India's linguistic diversity is vast, and while GPT-5 has improved multilingual capabilities, conversational fluency, cultural sensitivity and dialectal understanding will require significant advancement. Data privacy is another potential friction point. With India's new data laws, any perceived opacity around data usage or model training could raise concerns among regulators and users alike. OpenAI is already facing a lawsuit in India from media firms for copyright infringement. Local hosting, transparency reports and ethical AI practices will be key to sustaining trust. OpenAI's decision to localise and downscale pricing in India also reflects a preemptive response to intensifying competition. The Indian AI space is heating up, with major global firms expanding their presence, and domestic startups like Krutrim, Sarvam AI and BharatGPT developing localised language models and enterprise solutions. The launch of ChatGPT Go comes when other AI companies are also looking to attract Indian mass users. The ChatGPT Go plan doesn't guarantee a monopoly. On the contrary, it signals the beginning of a more intense AI war in India. The two strongest contenders currently challenging ChatGPT's dominance are Google's Gemini and the rising star Perplexity AI. Both bring distinct advantages to the table, and OpenAI will need more than affordability to maintain its edge. Perplexity recently partnered with Airtel to offer free Pro subscriptions, while Google has introduced a year-long free AI Pro plan for Indian students. Google's Gemini is arguably ChatGPT's most formidable competitor, not just in India, but globally. In the Indian context, Gemini's strength lies in its seamless integration with the Google ecosystem, which already has deep penetration across search, Android, Gmail, Docs and YouTube. In India, where hundreds of millions rely on Android phones and Google services, Gemini is poised to become the default AI assistant. Integration gives Gemini an enormous advantage in terms of daily usage and user retention. Gemini also shows signs of strong multilingual capabilities, with growing support for Indian languages. While ChatGPT supports multiple languages, Google has the advantage of pre-existing translation infrastructure, vast regional datasets and deep localisation experience. While Gemini leverages its existing ecosystem power, Perplexity AI offers a different kind of value which combines the simplicity of search with the intelligence of AI. It's a hybrid between a chatbot and a real-time search engine, and its biggest asset is transparency. Perplexity provides answers with real-time web sources, enabling users to not only get concise summaries but also verify the information through direct citations. This makes it especially appealing to students, researchers, and professionals who want reliable, up-to-date information. The launch of ChatGPT Go is no doubt a bold move to unlock the Indian market. But OpenAI is not alone in this race as Gemini and Perplexity too gather speed. The future of AI in India will not be won on pricing alone. It will be shaped by how well each platform adapts to Indian realities, from language to platform access to cultural context.

OpenAI Rolls Out $4.60 Subscription In India That Gives Access To 'Most Popular Features'
Enter your email to get Benzinga's ultimate morning update: The PreMarket Activity Newsletter OpenAI is introducing a new subscription tier, ChatGPT Go, available first in India at ₹399 or roughly $4.60 a month, positioning it below the company's $20 ChatGPT Plus plan and aimed at users who want more than the free tier without the full Plus price. ChatGPT Go Offers Power Users A Bridge Tier Before 'Plus' ChatGPT Go offers substantially higher usage than the free version. "10x higher message limits, 10x more image generations, 10x more file uploads, and 2x longer memory compared with our free tier," Head of ChatGPT Nick Turley said in an X post announcing the plan. See Also: Bill Gates Predicted In 2023 That GPT-5 Wouldn't Be 'Significantly Better' Than It Predecessor -- Was He Right? "All users in India will now see prices for subscriptions in Indian Rupees, and can now pay through UPI." OpenAI said the plan is available on web, iOS, Android and desktop apps, and is geo-restricted to India at launch. What Makes ChatGPT Go Different From Plus? The India-only launch is described as a test that could expand based on feedback, The Wall Street Journal reported. The move comes as OpenAI navigates a bumpy rollout of its newest flagship model, GPT-5. Early complaints about bugs, slower responses and a "flatter" style pushed the company to restore access to GPT-4o for paying users, even as CEO Sam Altman promised fixes and new controls. OpenAI subsequently increased rate limits, added mode options and brought back a model picker to ease the transition. OpenAI's Strategic Experiment In One Of Its Largest Markets By pricing ChatGPT Go at roughly one-fifth of Plus, OpenAI is targeting India, which is already one of ChatGPT's largest markets, with a middle tier that boosts capacity without the full Plus feature set. Local pricing and UPI payments address a frequent request from Indian users, Turley said.

OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Go in India at Rs 399 per Month
Payments can now be made via UPI and credit card, boosting accessibility. OpenAI has announced the launch of ChatGPT Go, a new subscription plan priced at Rs 399 per month that includes significantly higher message limits, image generation, file and image uploads, as well as memory features, for users in India -- a market that the company counts as its second-largest and among the fastest-growing -- powered by the company's latest GPT-5 model with enhanced Indic language support. Also Read: Bharti Airtel Offers Free Perplexity Pro AI Subscription to All Customers "We're launching ChatGPT Go, a new low-cost subscription plan. This will initially be available for users in India only," OpenAI said in a blog post on August 18, 2025, adding, "This subscription is initially available in India only. Other countries and regions may be eligible in the future." For Rs 399 per month (including GST), ChatGPT Go provides everything included in the Free Plan, plus more messages, larger file uploads, expanded image generation, access to advanced data analysis, longer memory for more personalized responses, and availability on web, mobile (iOS and Android), and desktop (macOS and Windows). According to OpenAI, ChatGPT Go offers 10 times higher message limits compared to the free plan, in addition to access to features previously limited to higher subscription tiers. The new plan has been designed specifically for Indian users, reflecting the country's rapid adoption of AI technologies. "ChatGPT Go is designed for people in India who want greater access to ChatGPT's advanced capabilities at a more affordable price," the release said. OpenAI said ChatGPT Go gives you more access to its most popular features: more GPT-5 messages, multimodal tools like image generation and file uploads, and longer memory -- at an affordable price point of Rs 399 per month. ChatGPT Plus, at Rs 1,999 per month, is designed for advanced users: it includes expanded access to thinking and legacy models (e.g., 4o) and advanced tools like deep research, agent mode, and Sora video creation. The company also confirmed that all ChatGPT subscriptions can now be paid for using Unified Payments Interface (UPI), a move expected to make access easier across India. "ChatGPT Go is geo-restricted to India at launch, and is able to be subscribed to by credit card or UPI," the company said. However, at the time of writing, the company's website states: "We're currently experiencing an issue processing UPI payments. UPI has been temporarily disabled. We expect to resolve this within 12-24 hours." ChatGPT Go joins OpenAI's existing subscription tiers -- ChatGPT Plus at Rs 1,999 per month, which offers faster performance and higher usage limits, and ChatGPT Pro at Rs 19,900 per month for professionals and enterprises requiring large-scale, customized access to advanced models. Nick Turley, Vice President and Head of ChatGPT, in a post on social platform X on August 19, 2025, said, "We just launched ChatGPT Go in India, a new subscription tier that gives users in India more access to our most popular features: 10x higher message limits, 10x more image generations, 10x more file uploads, and 2x longer memory compared with our free tier. All for Rs 399." "All users in India will now see prices for subscriptions in Indian Rupees, and can now pay through UPI. Making ChatGPT more affordable has been a key ask from users! We're rolling out Go in India first and will learn from feedback before expanding to other countries," Turley added. India, currently OpenAI's second-largest market, could soon become its largest globally, CEO Sam Altman said earlier this month as the company rolled out its next-generation model, GPT-5. Describing India as an "incredibly fast-growing" market, Altman noted the remarkable pace at which Indian citizens and businesses are adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI). "India is our second-largest market in the world after the US, and it may well become our largest market. It's incredibly fast-growing, but what users are doing with AI, what citizens of India are doing with ChatGPT is really remarkable, the way it is being integrated into people's lives and businesses, starting new companies. We are especially focused on bringing products to India, working with local partners to make artificial intelligence work great for India," Altman had reportedly said. "GPT-5 is really the first time that I think one of our mainline models has felt like you can ask a legitimate expert, like a PhD-level expert, anything... We wanted to simplify it and make it accessible. We wanted to make it available in our free tier for the first time," Altman said. Earlier this month, on August 7, 2025, OpenAI launched GPT-5, describing it as its most intelligent and capable artificial intelligence system to date. "Our smartest, fastest, most useful model yet, with built-in thinking that puts expert-level intelligence in everyone's hands. We are introducing GPT-5, our best AI system yet. GPT-5 is a significant leap in intelligence over all our previous models, featuring state-of-the-art performance across coding, math, writing, health, visual perception, and more," OpenAI announced while launching its new version. "GPT-5 is our strongest coding model to date. It shows particular improvements in complex front-end generation and debugging larger repositories. It can often create beautiful and responsive websites, apps, and games with an eye for aesthetic sensibility in just one prompt, intuitively and tastefully turning ideas into reality. Early testers also noted its design choices, with a much better understanding of things like spacing, typography, and white space," OpenAI said while explaining the latest model's coding abilities. In health, GPT-5 scored significantly higher on OpenAI's HealthBench evaluation, offering more precise, contextual, and proactive support to users -- though OpenAI stressed it is not a substitute for medical professionals. "GPT-5 is our best model yet for health-related questions, empowering users to be informed about and advocate for their health. The model scores significantly higher than any previous model on HealthBench, an evaluation we published earlier this year based on realistic scenarios and physician-defined criteria. Compared to previous models, it acts more like an active thought partner, proactively flagging potential concerns and asking questions to give more helpful answers." Open added, "The model also now provides more precise and reliable responses, adapting to the user's context, knowledge level, and geography, enabling it to provide safer and more helpful responses in a wide range of scenarios. Importantly, ChatGPT does not replace a medical professional -- think of it as a partner to help you understand results, ask the right questions in the time you have with providers, and weigh options as you make decisions." According to the company, GPT-5 achieved 94.6 percent on the 2025 AIME math competition without tools, 74.9 percent on SWE-bench Verified for coding, 84.2 percent on multimodal understanding, and 46.2 percent on HealthBench Hard. In its "Pro" version, designed for extended reasoning, the model set a new record on GPQA, a benchmark of graduate-level science questions, with an 88.4 percent score without tools. OpenAI said GPT-5's hallucination rate fell sharply compared with earlier models. "With web search enabled on anonymized prompts representative of ChatGPT production traffic, GPT-5's responses are around 45 percent less likely to contain a factual error than GPT-4o, and when thinking, GPT-5's responses are around 80 percent less likely to contain a factual error than OpenAI o3." OpenAI's new model, GPT-5, has also officially gone live across Microsoft's ecosystem -- including Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, and the standalone Copilot app. "Today, GPT-5 launches across our platforms, including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and Azure AI Foundry," said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in a post on X on August 7, 2025. "It's the most capable model yet from our partners at OpenAI, bringing powerful new advances in reasoning, coding, and chat, all trained on Azure." Nadella highlighted how far the collaboration with OpenAI has come. "It's hard to believe it's only been two and a half years since @sama (Sam Altman) joined us in Redmond to show the world GPT-4 for the first time in Bing, and it's incredible to see how far we've come since that moment." He added, "The pace of progress is only accelerating, and I can't wait to see what developers, enterprises, and consumers will do with this latest breakthrough." Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and xAI, in a post on X, warned Nadella that "OpenAI is going to eat Microsoft alive." Nadella replied: "People have been trying for 50 years and that's the fun of it! Each day you learn something new and innovate, partner, and compete. Excited for Grok 4 on Azure and looking forward to Grok 5!" Speaking on a podcast, Sam Altman recalled how GPT-5 solved a complex email task. "This morning I was testing our new model and I got a question. I got emailed a question that I didn't quite understand. And I put it in the model, this is GPT-5, and it answered it perfectly." "I felt like useless relative to the AI in this thing that I felt like I should have been able to do and I couldn't. It was really hard. But the AI just did it like that. It was a weird feeling," Altman said during a podcast. Drawing a parallel with history, he referenced Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project. He said GPT-5 could have "permanent effects" -- not in a destructive way, but still significant enough to change the course of things. In May 2025, OpenAI announced that the data of Indian ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu, and OpenAI API platform users would be stored locally in the country. The company says the new system should feel less like "talking to AI" and more like engaging with a thoughtful partner capable of PhD-level reasoning.

OpenAI Intros Low-Cost ChatGPT Plan in India | PYMNTS.com
"Making ChatGPT more affordable has been a key ask from users! We're rolling out Go in India first and will learn from feedback before expanding to other countries," Nick Turley, who oversees ChatGPT, wrote in a post on X. He said the new plan offers 10 times more message limits, image generations and file uploads, as well as twice the memory of the free version. India is OpenAI's second-biggest market, according to recent comments on a podcast from CEO Sam Altman, who also envisioned the country becoming its largest market. Earlier this year, Altman met with India's information technology minister to discuss AI initiatives. Microsoft, OpenAI's biggest backer, said earlier this year it planned to invest $3 billion to build cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure in India over the next two years. "India is rapidly becoming a leader in AI innovation, unlocking new opportunity across the country," CEO Satya Nadella said in announcing the investments, adding they "reaffirm our commitment to making India AI-first and will help ensure people and organizations across the country benefit broadly." In other artificial intelligence news, PYMNTS wrote Tuesday about the rise of "AI-native digital generations," with 66% of zillennials (ages 26-34) and Generation Z (ages 28 and younger) using generative AI tools for personal and professional tasks. The PYMNTS Intelligence report "Generation AI: Why Gen Z Bets Big and Boomers Hold Back" found that while 57% of American adults use generative AI in some form, it is younger consumers leading this wave, while older ones hold back. "Why the hesitancy? For starters, trust," PYMNTS wrote. "The same boomers who witnessed the dawn of the internet and the rise of email scams are now encountering AI's murkier terrain of deepfakes, hallucinated facts and synthetic voices. For many, that feels like a step too far." Although more than 60% of users said they were satisfied with their AI experiences, 33% said they were concerned that AI could negatively affect jobs. Fears of job displacement were higher among younger users, with 38% of Gen Z, many of whom are entering the job market, recognizing that AI could "automate away internships, entry-level roles or creative gigs. That's the most of any generation."
