According to OpenAI, ChatGPT Go was launched in India in August and was designed in response to user feedback requesting more affordable access to ChatGPT's most advanced features.

In the first month since its launch, the number of paid ChatGPT subscribers in India more than doubled.

On the back of this strong demand, OpenAI has since expanded ChatGPT Go to close to 90 markets worldwide.
