We just launched ChatGPT Go in India, a new subscription tier that gives users in India more access to our most popular features: 10x higher message limits, 10x more image generations, 10x more file uploads, and 2x longer memory compared with our free tier. All for Rs. 399. 🇮🇳

New plan at ₹399 ($4.6) per month, far cheaper than Plus.
Gives 10x more usage and better memory than free tier.
India is OpenAI’s 2nd biggest market but revenue per user is low.
Play: capture scale first, upsell later.
Open-source crawler used by 350K devs and companies like Shopify.
Already profitable, now backed by Nexus and Shopify’s CEO.
Wants to connect web scrapers with publishers so creators get paid.
Strategy: own the pipes between web data and AI models.
Makes AI-powered smart mattresses that track and adjust sleep.
$500M in sales and 1B hours of sleep data so far.
New AI Sleep Agent creates “digital twin” health profiles for users.
Aims to move from mattresses to healthcare, with FDA approval in view.
Would you trust AI to track and optimize your health while you sleep? |

OpenAI just launched ChatGPT Go’s ₹399/mo plan in India. If it grows to other top subscription businesses in India, that’s ~$2-5B/yr in revenue, +15-40% of OpenAI’s current run rate!
American consumer companies NEED India for a large chunk of their business,
Here’s the math:
