OpenAI to Display Ads on Free and Go Tiers of ChatGPT in India

OpenAI announced that it will begin showing advertisements on the free and lower‑priced Go tiers of its ChatGPT service in India. The move comes as the company reports over 100 million weekly active users in the country, many of whom use the free or Go plans. By monetizing these tiers, OpenAI aims to generate revenue from its largest user base while maintaining free access for a broad audience. The introduction of ads will likely affect the user experience on the free and Go tiers, prompting users to consider paid options for an ad‑free experience.
