AI-mazing News! Perplexity Pro is Zero-plexity for Indian Students!

Perplexity AI, a conversational AI platform, has announced that it will offer its Pro version for free to Indian students. CEO Aravind Srinivas shared this initiative during a discussion with Paytm’s Vijay Shekhar Sharma, emphasizing the aim to ensure that no student worldwide has to pay for the Pro plan. The goal is to reach one million student sign-ups by mid-March 2025.  The Pro version, which usually costs $20 per month, features advanced tools like image generation, unlimited file uploads, and access to leading AI models such as GPT-4. This announcement follows Perplexity’s successful partnership with IIT Madras, where students and faculty already benefit from free access.  This initiative showcases Perplexity’s dedication to making knowledge more accessible and promoting AI literacy among students in India, in line with its mission to enhance educational opportunities.  Source: NDTV, Economic Times.
