Perplexity Pro just got a massive boost in India. Bharti Airtel, India’s second-largest telecom company, is giving its users a full year of this powerful AI tool for free. Yes, you read that right—free for an entire year.
If you’re using Airtel—prepaid, postpaid, or broadband—you can grab this offer through the Airtel Thanks app. You’ll find it in the Rewards section, and the deal is open until January 17, 2026.
So What Is Perplexity Pro?
Think of it as a supercharged version of Google. Instead of giving you a bunch of links, it gives clear, straight answers—with sources. You can even upload documents, ask complex questions, or dig deep into topics. It’s fast, smart, and super helpful for students, professionals, or anyone who just wants better search results.
Usually, Perplexity Pro costs $20 a month (around ₹1,730). That means this offer saves you over ₹20,000 in a year.
Why Airtel Is Doing This
This is the first AI tie-up of its kind in India. Airtel wants to help users stay ahead in the digital age. Gopal Vittal, Airtel’s MD, said the goal is to bring real-time knowledge tools to millions—without any extra cost.
This isn’t Perplexity’s first big deal either. They’ve already teamed up with global giants like SoftBank and T-Mobile. But this Indian partnership is huge. India is already one of Perplexity’s top countries for users and revenue.
Google vs Perplexity?
Interestingly, Google recently offered its AI tools (like Gemini 2.5 Pro) free to college students. So this Airtel–Perplexity move is clearly a clapback. And it’s smart—India is the world’s second-largest internet market. If AI is the future, both giants want to win here.
What’s in It for You?
With Perplexity Pro, Airtel users will get:
- Up to 300 AI searches a day
- Document uploads and instant summaries
- Labs access to test new AI tools
The subscription won’t auto-renew, and you need to stay an active Airtel user for 12 months to keep the free plan.
How to Get It
- Open the Airtel Thanks app
- Go to the Rewards or Offers section
- Tap on the Perplexity Pro offer
- Follow the steps to activate
That’s it. Once done, you can start using Perplexity Pro right away.
Final Word
In a world full of confusing search results and too many links, Perplexity Pro is a breath of fresh air. And now, Airtel is handing it over to you for free. This is not just about free AI—it’s about making next-gen tech part of your everyday life.
