Announced August 27, the third market after the US in February and Europe earlier this month, launching with 50 brands and agency partners WPP and Omnicom, with an ad manager arriving next month setting a minimum daily campaign budget of ₹725 (TechCrunch). India carries more than 100 million weekly active ChatGPT users and the sub-$5 Go plan was given away free for a year there. This is the test of whether a giveaway market can be monetized ahead of an IPO, and a $7.60 floor says OpenAI wants long-tail advertisers, not just brands.
