Starting this week, millions of Indians will receive one year of free access to OpenAI’s new, low-cost ChatGPT Go AI chatbot.
The initiative follows similar moves by Google and Perplexity AI, who have partnered with Indian telecom providers to offer users free or discounted access to their AI tools. Perplexity teamed up with Airtel, the country’s second-largest mobile network, while Google partnered with Reliance Jio, India’s largest telecom provider.
Analysts caution that these offers are not purely altruistic. “The plan is to get Indians hooked on generative AI before asking them to pay for it,” said Tarun Pathak, an analyst at Counterpoint Research.
India’s open, competitive digital market, combined with over 900 million internet users, some of the world’s cheapest data, and a young online population, makes it a prime location for AI companies to grow their user base and train models with large volumes of first-hand data.
“India is an incredibly diverse country. The AI use cases emerging from here will serve as valuable case studies for the rest of the world,” Pathak added.
Consumer and Regulatory Concerns
While the free access benefits users, it raises questions about data privacy. Prasanto K Roy, a Delhi-based tech analyst, noted that most users are willing to trade personal data for convenience or free services.
Currently, India lacks a dedicated AI law. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP) 2023 is yet to be enacted, and it does not address AI-specific concerns or algorithmic accountability. Experts expect the law, once implemented, to be among the world’s most advanced in digital privacy standards.
Until then, India’s flexible regulatory environment allows AI companies to roll out large-scale initiatives more easily than in regions such as the EU or South Korea, where strict AI rules require transparency, consent, and labeling.
The Business Case for Free AI Access
Offering free AI tools is a calculated investment. Even if only 5% of free users convert to paying subscribers, the sheer scale of India’s population represents a significant long-term opportunity, analysts say.
“The more unique, first-hand data they gather, the better their models, particularly generative AI systems, become,” Pathak said.
