OpenAI on Tuesday announced that it will offer “ChatGPT Go” – a variant that supports higher query limits and enhanced image generation capabilities -free for one year to users in India who sign up during a limited-time promotional period beginning November 4.
ChatGPT Go is OpenAI’s recently launched subscription tier, which offers increased message limits, image generation, and file upload features for users in India.
“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 the limited-time promotional period, starting November 4,” the company said.
ChatGPT was officially launched in India in August, developed in response to user feedback requesting more affordable access to ChatGPT’s most advanced features, according to OpenAI. In the first month since its launch, the number of paid ChatGPT subscribers in India more than doubled. On the back of this strong demand, OpenAI has since expanded ChatGPT to nearly 90 markets worldwide.
Existing ChatGPT Go subscribers in India will also be eligible for the free 12-month promotion.
“Since initially launching ChatGPT Go in India a few months ago, the adoption and creativity we’ve seen from our users have been inspiring,” said Nick Turley, Vice President and Head of ChatGPT.
Turley added: “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.”
