ChatGPT Go Now Free in India: Five Ways to Make the Most of This Offer
As part of the promotional offer to drive adoption, OpenAI has scrapped the fee on the ChatGPT Go subscription, which normally costs ₹399 per month.

ChatGPT’s paid “Go” plan is free in India for 12 months starting today, giving students, professionals, and creators premium‑tier features at no cost if they sign up during the limited‑time window. The offer includes higher daily limits, faster responses, image generation, file uploads, and longer memory powered by OpenAI’s latest models, with existing Go subscribers also eligible for a free year. Here are five practical ways to squeeze real value from it.
Research faster with higher limits
- What you get: Much higher daily message caps than the free plan, plus longer context and quicker replies for iterative prompts.
- How to use it: Break complex research into structured steps by asking for source summaries, then request a comparison matrix, and finally a 200–300-word brief tailored to your audience.
- Tip: Use follow‑ups like “cite sources,” “add India‑specific data,” or “rewrite for executives in 120 words” to get publishable notes.
Turn files into insights
- What you get: Upload documents, PDFs, slides, or spreadsheets for analysis.
- How to use it: Ask to extract key metrics, identify trends, or generate action items from meeting decks or sales sheets; for PDFs, request section‑by‑section summaries with a bullet recap.
- Tip: Pair “extract table” with “convert to CSV with headers” for quick hand‑offs into Excel or Google Sheets.
Create images for social posts
- What you get: More daily image generations for thumbnails, infographics, or concept art.
- How to use it: Provide a simple art brief, including brand colours, mood, typography style, and use‑case (e.g., YouTube thumbnail, Insta carousel cover).
- Tip: Ask for three variations and a negative prompt list (e.g., “no text artefacts, no watermark”) to reduce edits.
Build repeatable workflows with custom GPTs
- What you get: Access to custom GPTs and projects, so you can standardise tasks like press‑note rewrites, JD drafting, or SEO briefs.
- How to use it: Configure a custom GPT with your tone guide, brand glossary, target regions, and output formats. Save prompts as presets: “news brief 180 words, inverted pyramid, neutral hed, include 2 bullet facts.”
- Tip: Store examples of “good” outputs in the instructions to anchor style and reduce back‑and‑forth.
Code, analyse, and automate everyday tasks
- What you get: Better data analysis and coding help than the free tier, thanks to higher limits and longer memory.
- How to use it: Ask for Python snippets that parse CSVs, clean columns, and compute KPIs; or request regex, SQL queries, and test cases for APIs.
- Tip: Share sample inputs/outputs and say “return only the code block” to paste directly into your IDE.
Key details to remember
- Who qualifies: New sign‑ups and existing Go subscribers in India who redeem during the promo window receive 12 months free.
- What’s included: Higher limits, faster responses, image generation, file uploads, custom GPTs access, and longer memory.
- What’s not: Some advanced tools remain Plus‑only (e.g., deep research/agent mode, Sora video generation, certain priority perks).
- Activation: Redeem via web, Android, or iOS; some users may be asked to add a payment method for verification.
