What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is the AI assistant most Indian professionals tried first, and for many it's still the default. It writes emails and proposals, summarises PDFs, analyses spreadsheets, generates images and helps with code through Codex. India has also been a priority market for OpenAI: the low-cost Go plan launched here first, in August 2025, at ₹399 a month with GST included and UPI payments.

In practice most individuals choose between Go and Plus. Go is ₹399 and raises free-plan limits. Plus is $20 a month and adds the stronger models, Codex across web, CLI and IDE, and extra credits. Pro starts at $100 a month for heavy users. For companies, Business is $25 per user monthly or $20 on annual billing (minimum two users), and OpenAI says it doesn't train on business data by default.

The downsides are familiar. Answers can be confidently wrong, so anything going into a GST filing, legal notice or client deliverable needs checking. Free and Go chats on personal accounts fall under consumer data terms, which is a poor fit for confidential client files. And plan names and models change every few months, so a comparison you read last year is probably out of date.

What works well

  • +Go plan priced in rupees at ₹399 a month with GST included
  • +UPI payment accepted for Go and Plus
  • +Broad feature set: writing, file analysis, image generation, voice and Codex for coding
  • +Business plan excludes your data from training by default and adds SAML SSO and MFA
  • +Apps on Android and iOS plus a desktop app
  • +Pro tiers ($100, $200, $500) for people who need far higher limits

What to watch out for

  • −Plus, Pro and Business prices are set in USD on OpenAI's docs
  • −UPI is not available for Pro or Business plans
  • −Factual errors still happen; outputs need human review
  • −Personal plans are not the right place for confidential client data
  • −Frequent changes to models and plan contents make long-term budgeting harder

Best suited for: Individuals and freelancers wanting an all-rounder AI at ₹399 a month · Small teams drafting content, proposals and reports · Developers using Codex on Plus or higher · Companies that want an admin-managed AI with SSO (Business)
