OpenAI makes ChatGPT Go free for users in India

OpenAI is offering its “ChatGPT Go” subscription free for one year in India, starting in November. Previously priced at ₹399/month in India, the move underscores India’s significance in OpenAI’s global strategy and intensifying competition in the AI/language-model space. It also aligns with the regulatory backdrop where generative AI and online content are under evolving scrutiny. For Indian users, this opens access to advanced features like image generation, larger file uploads and extended conversation context at zero cost. The initiative reflects how the monetisation of AI, user-growth plans and regulatory positioning are converging rapidly in India’s tech ecosystem.
