OpenAI said on Tuesday that it will offer ‘ChatGPT Go’ free for one year to users in India who sign up during a limited-time promotional window beginning November 4.

The offer comes as part of OpenAI’s celebrations for its first-ever DevDay Exchange event in Bengaluru, taking place on the same day.

“To celebrate OpenAI's DevDay Exchange event in Bengaluru on 4 November - 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, starting 4 November,” the company said in a statement.

Existing ChatGPT Go subscribers in India will also be eligible for the 12-month free offer, OpenAI confirmed.

What is ChatGPT Go?

ChatGPT Go is a recently launched subscription tier by OpenAI that gives users access to higher message limits, image generation, and file uploads. The service was designed based on user feedback asking for more affordable access to ChatGPT’s advanced features.

It was first launched in India in August 2025, and within a month, the number of paid ChatGPT subscribers in India more than doubled, the company said.

India is OpenAI’s second-largest market and one of its fastest-growing user bases. Millions of Indians, including students, developers, and professionals, use ChatGPT every day for learning, work, and creative projects.

“This promotion is a continuation of OpenAI's 'Indiafirst' 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,” the company added.

Following strong adoption in India, OpenAI has expanded ChatGPT Go to around 90 markets worldwide. The company said this step highlights its effort to make advanced AI tools more accessible to users globally.

Nick Turley, Vice President and Head of ChatGPT, said the response from Indian users has been “inspiring.”

“Since initially launching ChatGPT Go in India a few months ago, the adoption and creativity we've seen from our users has been inspiring,” Turley said.

He 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.”
