ChatGPT sees a surge in users in India but lags in revenue

ChainCatcher news, according to TechCrunch, although India has become one of the fastest-growing markets for ChatGPT, OpenAI still faces challenges in monetization locally. Data shows that since 2023, Indian users have spent only about $8 million through in-app purchases, far less than the $330 million spent by users in the United States. High subscription fees ($20/month) and the lack of local pricing are considered the main reasons. OpenAI is seeking to partner with Indian telecom giant Jio to expand coverage and achieve its "billion users" vision.
