In a major announcement for Indian users, OpenAI has confirmed that the ChatGPT Go version usually a paid service will now be available free for one full year in India. The free access begins Tuesday, November 4, as part of a limited-time promotional offer celebrating OpenAI’s first-ever DevDay Exchange event in Bengaluru.
OpenAI’s Offer: One Year of Free ChatGPT Go Access
OpenAI announced last week that Indian users who sign up during the promotional period can access the ChatGPT Go plan free for an entire year. The Go version, launched earlier this year, offers several premium features such as higher message limits, image generation, and file upload capabilities making it a preferred choice for power users, students, and professionals.
The company stated that the offer aims to reward India’s rapidly growing ChatGPT user base. “To celebrate OpenAI’s DevDay Exchange in Bengaluru on November 4, we’re making ChatGPT Go free in India for one year to show appreciation for the enthusiasm and creativity of Indian users,” OpenAI said in its statement.
Why India? The Fastest-Growing ChatGPT Market
India has become one of OpenAI’s most active user markets. Reports suggest that the number of paid ChatGPT subscribers in the country doubled within a month of launching the paid plans in August.
The decision to make ChatGPT Go free aligns with OpenAI’s broader expansion strategy in India, where adoption rates for AI tools are skyrocketing across education, tech, and creative sectors.

Existing ChatGPT Go subscribers will also be able to benefit from this free access, with details on how to claim the offer expected soon.
By making ChatGPT Go free for an entire year in India, OpenAI is not just expanding its footprint but also recognizing the country’s role as one of its most enthusiastic user communities. With this move, millions of Indian users can now explore the full power of AI — without spending a rupee.
