OpenAI will offer one year of free access to its ChatGPT Go plan for all users in India starting November 4, 2025, coinciding with its first DevDay Exchange event in Bengaluru. ChatGPT Go, launched earlier this year as a mid-tier subscription priced at Rs 399 per month, provides faster responses, higher message limits, image uploads, file uploads, advanced data analysis, and longer memory for more personalized AI interactions powered by the latest GPT-5 model.
The free one-year subscription will save Indian users Rs 4,788, making premium AI more accessible as India stands as OpenAI’s second-largest and fastest-growing market. Existing subscribers in India will also be eligible for this promotion. OpenAI’s Nick Turley highlighted this move as part of the company’s India-first commitment and support for the IndiaAI mission to democratize AI tools beyond metro areas to all parts of India’s digital ecosystem.
The launch aims to compete directly with rivals like Google’s Gemini and Airtel partner Perplexity AI, both offering free AI services in India. Users should sign up once the limited-time offer goes live to avail free ChatGPT Go access for a year. OpenAI has not yet clarified pricing or renewal options after the promo ends. This initiative underscores the growing significance of the Indian market for AI adoption and innovation.
