On Tuesday OpenAI announced a ChatGPT Go free one year promotion for Indian users starting November 4, 2025. This is a limited time offer only for Indian users and is announced alongside the company’s first DevDay Exchange event in Bengaluru.
They are giving ChatGPT Go free to everyone in India for new signups, existing free users and even existing subscribers who sign up during the promotional period.
Normally priced at ₹399 a month, that’s ₹4,800 saved; a small change on paper but a big step in making OpenAI’s advanced tools more accessible in its second largest and fastest growing market.
What the ChatGPT Go Plan Includes
ChatGPT Go was introduced in August 2025 as an option that provides additional features compared to the free service, while being more affordable than the premium Plus subscription.
ChatGPT Go features include:
- 10x more message limits than the free version
- Unlimited image generation with DALL·E integration
- Seamless file and image uploads for analysis
- Advanced data analysis tools including Python support
- Extended memory for more personalized, context-aware conversations
- Powered by the latest GPT-5 model
It’s built for students, developers, professionals, and everyday users tackling everything from creative projects to complex queries. Since launch, paid ChatGPT subscriptions in India have doubled — clear proof of the growing demand for affordable AI.
OpenAI’s India-First Push
It’s not just another giveaway; this OpenAI push feels like a clear India-first move, one that fits neatly alongside the government’s IndiaAI Mission and its push to make artificial intelligence part of everyday education, innovation, and digital access.
Expanding Presence and Local Partnerships
With new offices in New Delhi and Bengaluru, OpenAI has been ramping up partnerships with civil society, educators and local initiatives — the kind of collaboration meant to encourage responsible AI adoption. Nick Turley, VP and Head of ChatGPT, said he’s been inspired by Indian users’ creativity; “it’s about empowering millions to ‘build, learn, and achieve’ with advanced tools,” he added.
How to Claim the ChatGPT Go Free Offer
For claiming free access for one year just visit chat.openai.com on November 4 or after November 4. You can create a new OpenAI account or sign in with your existing one; no promo code or special link is required. Once your account region is verified as India you will get free year access automatically. If you are an existing user you will get an extended subscription for 12 months automatically.
OpenAI’s staying quiet about what comes after the free year ends—but early hints suggest you’ll probably have a couple of options: stick with Go at the current ₹399/month, or jump up to Plus if you want first dibs on new features. Honestly, it’s kind of a no-brainer for now: you get a full year of premium access for free, zero commitment. Try it out, see if it clicks—and only then worry about whether to keep paying.
Competing AI Platforms in India
Competition is rising now as we know Google’s Gemini AI Pro is already free for students and Airtel is giving Perplexity Pro free access to India’s huge internet users. Now ChatGPT is going to provide free subscriptions in India. Suddenly OpenAI appears to be the company that is genuinely focused on accessibility instead of only reach.
Social Buzz and Developer Excitement
People on X are swapping notes about how to get ChatGPT Go free — timing tricks, small feature hacks, the usual crowd-sourced tips.
With DevDay landing on November 4 and its developer-heavy agenda around APIs and India-led projects, it seems like more local reveals are coming. Don’t sleep on it; this could open up useful AI tools to millions without the price tag.
