OpenAI is making a big move in India by offering ChatGPT Go for free starting November 4th. This will help them grow in a fast-developing market like India.
What benefits you will get?
ChatGPT Go is a mid-tier plan from OpenAI, sitting between the free version and the premium ChatGPT Plus. It was launched in India in August for Rs 399 per month. Now, it will be free for one year, giving Indian users a better AI experience with:
You can send more messages
You can create more images and upload each day
You can get responses that are more personalized and have a longer memory
We want more people in India to enjoy advanced AI technology: Turley
OpenAI's Vice President, Nick Turley, said they are inspired by how creative and engaged Indian users are. They want more people in India to enjoy advanced AI technology, so they made it free for a year.
India IOpenAI's second-largest market
OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, said that India is their second-largest market and the fastest-growing country for them. Since launching the paid version, subscriptions in India have more than doubled, showing a strong interest in AI services.
Staying Competitive
This decision comes as other companies are also trying to grab a share of the Indian market. For example, Google is offering its AI Pro membership for free to students for a year, and Perplexity has teamed up with Airtel to provide free access to its premium features. OpenAI's move with ChatGPT Go is part of this competition in India.
Available in about 90 countries
ChatGPT Go is available in about 90 countries, with India being the largest user base. This free offering could make it easier for millions of students, content creators, and professionals in India to use AI in the months ahead.
