OpenAI has announced that starting November 4, Indian users can enjoy one year of free access to ChatGPT Go, the company’s new subscription tier that offers higher query limits, image generation, and file uploads. The limited-time offer coincides with OpenAI’s first-ever DevDay Exchange event in Bengaluru, celebrating the company’s growing presence in India — its second-largest and one of the fastest-growing markets for ChatGPT.
“To celebrate OpenAI’s DevDay Exchange event in Bengaluru on November 4 — its first in India — OpenAI is making ChatGPT Go available free for one full year to all users in India who sign up during a limited-time promotional period,” the company said in a statement.
Launched in India in August, ChatGPT Go was designed in response to user feedback seeking more affordable access to OpenAI’s most advanced tools. Within a month of its launch, the number of paid ChatGPT subscribers in India more than doubled, highlighting the nation’s growing enthusiasm for AI-powered productivity solutions.
Building on this demand, OpenAI has now expanded ChatGPT Go to nearly 90 global markets. India, however, continues to stand out — home to millions of developers, students, and professionals who use ChatGPT daily to enhance learning, creativity, and work.
“This promotion is a continuation of OpenAI’s ‘India-first’ commitment and supports the IndiaAI Mission, reinforcing the growing momentum around AI in India as the country prepares to host the AI Impact Summit next year,” OpenAI said. The company also confirmed that existing ChatGPT Go subscribers in India will be eligible for the 12-month free access period.
Nick Turley, Vice President and Head of ChatGPT, praised the enthusiastic response from Indian users since the initial rollout. “Since launching ChatGPT Go in India a few months ago, the adoption and creativity we’ve seen from users has been inspiring,” he said. “Ahead of our first DevDay Exchange event in India, we’re making ChatGPT Go freely available for a year to help more people across India easily access and benefit from advanced AI.”
The announcement underscores OpenAI’s growing investment in India’s digital and AI future. As one of the world’s largest technology ecosystems, India continues to be a key focus market for AI innovation and adoption. With initiatives like this, OpenAI is not only expanding access but also empowering a new generation of Indian creators, developers, and thinkers to lead the global AI transformation.
