OpenAI, the Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence company, has launched its most affordable subscription plan in India—ChatGPT Go, priced at ₹399 ($4.57) per month. The move is aimed at deepening its presence in India, which is OpenAI’s second-largest market after the United States.
What is ChatGPT Go?
The newly introduced ChatGPT Go plan offers Indian users a budget-friendly way to access advanced ChatGPT features. With this plan, subscribers can:
- Send up to 10x more messages compared to free users.
- Generate 10x more AI images than the free plan.
- Enjoy faster response times for smoother interactions.
The plan is designed for price-sensitive Indian users who want greater access to ChatGPT’s AI capabilities without paying the higher costs of premium subscriptions.
Other ChatGPT Subscription Plans in India
OpenAI currently offers three tiers of subscription plans in India:
- ChatGPT Go – ₹399/month (~$4.57) – entry-level, budget-friendly option.
- ChatGPT Plus – ₹1,999/month (~$23) – mid-range subscription with expanded features.
- ChatGPT Pro – ₹19,900/month (~$229) – top-tier plan for professionals and enterprises.
The new Go plan makes ChatGPT accessible to a wider base of Indian users, in line with global tech companies’ strategies to tailor pricing for India’s massive internet population of nearly 1 billion users.
Why India is Key for OpenAI
India is not only OpenAI’s second-largest market by user base, but also one of the fastest-growing markets for AI adoption. Earlier this year, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met with India’s IT Minister to discuss building a low-cost AI ecosystem in the country.
Altman also noted that India could soon overtake the U.S. as OpenAI’s biggest market, given the rapid growth of AI adoption among Indian consumers, students, and businesses.
What This Means for Indian Users
With ChatGPT Go, OpenAI is offering a cheaper entry point into AI-powered productivity, making tools like AI chat, content generation, and image creation more accessible. This move could significantly increase adoption in India, where affordability plays a key role in technology uptake.
