Indians now have to pay more for ChatGPT Plus and Pro plans: Check new prices
OpenAI has quietly raised the price of ChatGPT Plus and Pro plans in India. Previously, ChatGPT users in India who wanted access to advanced features had to pay in dollars, but now the company has introduced these paid plans in Rupees. While it is now easier for ChatGPT users to subscribe to its paid plans, Indian customers will have to pay significantly more than they used to. To give you a quick recap, ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscription plans were priced at $20 and $200, which approximately amounted to Rs 1,750 and Rs 17,500, respectively. But now that OpenAI has introduced Indian pricing for these plans, ChatGPT users will have to shell out Rs 1,999 and Rs 19,900. The increased prices are also applicable to those looking to subscribe to the company's Team and Business plans will also have to pay more than they previously did. This means both ChatGPT Plus and Pro users will have to pay around 14 per cent more every month to access the AI chatbot's advanced features. When OpenAI CEO Sam Altman visited India last year, several startup founders and developers had pointed out that the high cost associated with ChatGPT paid plans was one of the barriers to wider adoption. The AI startup was also reportedly working on a much cheaper Go plan, which was expected to be announced alongside GPT-5, but there are no signs of the pocket-friendly plan till now. ChatGPT is quite popular amongst Indians, but other players like Perplexity AI and Google Gemini are offering access to their paid plans for free to customers and students. While Perplexity is giving away one year of free Pro access to Airtel users, Google's premium Gemini AI plans come with some benefits, like additional cloud storage and services like YouTube Premium. According to app intelligence firm Appfigures, ChatGPT has generated more than $2 billion in global consumer spending since its launch in May 2023. Compared to other AI chatbots like Claude, Copilot and Grok, ChatGPT has earned more than 30 times the combined lifetime spending of its rivals. Figures also reveal that, in 2025, ChatGPT's mobile app made $1.35 billion, recording 673 per cent more than the previous year. To give you an estimate, the app is generating almost $193 million per month.

India bets on mature-node chipmaking; China+1 trend boosts manufacturing role: Report
AI image India's semiconductor plans are beginning to take shape, with a deliberate focus on producing mature-node chips rather than competing in the global race for cutting-edge technology. The country is targeting the 28nm to 65nm range to meet rising demand in sectors such as automotive, telecommunications, and industrial electronics. An analysis by Bastion Research cited by news agency ANI notes that while India has yet to make major progress in building advanced semiconductor fabs, it is strategically positioning itself to fill a 'critical gap' in the global supply chain. 'Though today there is not much to share as far as India's progress in establishing a semiconductor fab is concerned, one thing is clear – India's semiconductor ambitions are taking shape with a strategic focus on mature-node manufacturing,' the report stated. The study compared India's current stage to Taiwan and South Korea's semiconductor journey in the 1970s–1990s. India is already gaining ground in system integration, particularly in automotive electronics, telecom, consumer devices, and medical technology. The country's talent pool and technical capabilities are seen as matching global standards, with rapid progress in scaling operations. The report adds that the global 'China +1' strategy is benefiting India, as companies seek to diversify supply chains away from China. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Home Decor Enthusiasts Love This Lamp topgadgetlife Shop Now Undo The government's Semicon India Programme, launched in 2021 with Rs 76,000 crore in incentives, focuses on attracting manufacturers, establishing fabs, and building a local supply chain. Recent approvals under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) include four new projects worth Rs 4,600 crore in Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Punjab, taking the total ISM portfolio to 10 projects across six states with investments of Rs 1.6 lakh crore. Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Independence Day that India-made semiconductor chips will hit the market by the end of this year. New Delhi has already approved the construction of six semiconductor plants. In May, the Union cabinet cleared the country's sixth unit, a semiconductor manufacturing facility in Jewar, western Uttar Pradesh. The plant, to be located near Jewar Airport, will be set up through a joint venture between the HCL Group and Taiwanese electronics major Foxconn. Of the other five plants, four are based in Gujarat: the Tata Electronics–PSMC Semiconductor fabrication plant, the CG Power–Renesas–Stars Microelectronics ATMP unit, Micron Technology's ATMP facility, and the Kaynes Semicon ATMP unit. The remaining project, the Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test (TSAT) unit, is located in Assam.

Start With Rs 1 Lakh, Earn In Crores: How Event Planning Has Turned Into A Lucrative Venture
Last Updated: Smaller towns across the country, including Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, are witnessing a surge in demand for professional event planners Lavish weddings and grand social events are no longer limited to big cities. Smaller towns across the country, including Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, are witnessing a surge in demand for professional event planners. This rising trend has opened the door for entrepreneurs to tap into a lucrative market with relatively low start-up costs. Industry experts say an event management venture can be launched with an initial investment of around Rs 1 lakh. The first step is formal registration, including GST compliance, followed by creating a professional portfolio to showcase capabilities to prospective clients. The portfolio, they note, often plays a decisive role in securing bookings. Strong ties with local vendors – caterers, decorators, sound and lighting providers, transport operators – are considered essential. In the early stages, entrepreneurs can rely on external vendors to cut costs before building their own supply base. Equally crucial is assembling a skilled, dependable team. Industry veterans stress that the quality of execution depends heavily on the expertise of staff, from event coordinators to technical specialists. Photography and videography have also become integral to event planning, and businesses can either hire in-house professionals or partner with independent service providers. Marketing, experts point out, can make or break a new business. With social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram driving much of today's promotion, entrepreneurs are increasingly turning to digital campaigns, search engine optimisation, and dedicated company websites to reach clients. India hosts lakhs of weddings and countless other events every year, and the appetite for well-organised, professionally managed celebrations is only growing. Analysts predict that those entering the market now, particularly in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, could secure a strong foothold and earn handsomely across the festive and wedding seasons.
