OpenAI makes ChatGPT Go Version free in India for a year, starting today

In a major announcement for developers, students, and professionals, OpenAI has made its paid ChatGPT Go version free in India for an entire year, starting Tuesday, November 4. The offer is available to all users who sign up during a limited-time promotional period, as part of OpenAI’s effort to expand its presence in India.

Why is ChatGPT Go Version Free in India?

The decision comes after ChatGPT saw a massive surge in popularity across the country, with paid subscriptions reportedly doubling within a month of its launch in August. OpenAI said the move reflects its appreciation for the “enthusiasm and creativity” of Indian users and coincides with its DevDay Exchange event in Bengaluru — the company’s first in India.

ChatGPT Go was launched as a more affordable option for users seeking enhanced features. It offers higher message limits, faster response times, image generation, and file upload capabilities. Running on OpenAI’s latest GPT-5 model, the Go version enables users to handle complex queries, analyze images or documents, and enjoy longer memory and smoother performance compared to the basic free tier.
