As part of the offer, users will get the Gemini 2.5 Pro model through the Gemini app. They will also have higher limits for making images and videos using Google’s Nano Banana and Veo 3.1 models. Additionally, users will receive extra tools, including NotebookLM, as well as 2 terabytes of cloud storage for Google Photos, Gmail, Drive, and WhatsApp on Android. As a result, Google stated that the total value of all these services adds up to about INR 35,100.
It’s worth noting that tech companies from the U.S. are increasingly competing to bring their AI services to India’s huge mobile market. As a matter of fact, AI firm OpenAI (PC:OPAIQ) announced that it will offer Indian users a free one-year subscription to ChatGPT Go, starting on November 4. Google is also making a big push in India by planning to invest $15 billion over the next five years to build a large data center and AI hub in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Importantly, this would be its largest investment in the country to date.
