I have been on the $20 Pro plan for a while and use GPT every day for dev and product work. This move feels huge for India.

The real unlock is not just the lower price, it is UPI. I have had so many friends and students ask me about ChatGPT but they could never pay because of the credit card wall. ₹399 with UPI makes it actually accessible.

For my own use I will stay on Pro since I need GPT-4o and API, but this new plan is going to bring in millions of first time users. It feels like the moment AI finally goes mainstream in India.

Couldn’t agree more. UPI is the unlock, not just the price. The credit card wall has quietly excluded 90% of the country even those curious and ready to pay.
