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.
