Why Big Tech companies offering their premium AI products FREE in India . Asked AI Here is the answer by their AI products....😆

 

Major AI companies like Google, OpenAI, Perplexity etc etc  are offering free premium services in India 

I asked AI for the reason and the AI  came with their answers...  ( Non edited...) 

The primary reasons includes: 

Training on Localized Multilingual Data: India provides an irreplaceable volume of diverse, real-world data and localized inputs. By offering free access, companies can harvest high-efficacy data across multiple languages and cultural contexts to refine their models and fix Western-centric biases.

 

 Building User Habits and Dependency: Companies are using a "free first, profit later" strategy, similar to Reliance Jio's telecom playbook. Once users integrate these tools into their daily workflows—such as for schoolwork or office productivity—they are less likely to switch to competitors, creating a long-term locked-in customer base.

 

⌣😼Massive Market Scale: India has the world’s leading adoption of generative AI, with a 2025 study showing 65% of surveyed Indians have used the technology. Capturing even a small percentage of this massive population as future paying subscribers represents a significant financial opportunity.

Strategic Telecom Partnerships: Global giants are partnering with local telecom leaders to bundle premium AI access. For example, Google partnered with Reliance Jio to offer 18 months of free AI Pro access, while Perplexity teamed up with Bharti Airtel to reach millions of subscribers quickly.

Favorable Regulatory and Geopolitical Environment: Compared to the strict AI transparency rules in the EU or South Korea, India currently offers a more flexible environment for rapid, large-scale deployment. Additionally, with China largely inaccessible, India is the primary global battleground for AI companies seeking scale.

Democratization of Knowledge: While driven by business, these offers have the side effect of providing world-class tools to students and professionals across India, regardless of their location, closing the technology gap between small towns and major tech hubs.
