In a big win for AI lovers and tech-savvy users, Airtel has teamed up with Perplexity to give its customers free access to Perplexity Pro for an entire year. This AI-powered platform is known for delivering fast, accurate answers, research tools, and real-time data—making it a powerful upgrade for anyone who wants smarter, faster search. And the best part? It’s completely free for Airtel users across India.
The offer is valid for all Airtel mobile, broadband, and DTH users. To claim it, just head to the Airtel Thanks app and tap on “Rewards” or “Subscriptions.” From there, a quick email and OTP login on Perplexity’s site unlocks the premium Pro plan. According to Airtel and Perplexity, the subscription—normally worth ₹17,000—includes advanced features like GPT-4.1, Claude 4.0, daily Pro searches, file uploads, image generation, and access to Perplexity Labs. The offer is open until January 17, 2026.
This marks the first time a major Indian telecom has partnered with an AI company at this scale. Airtel CEO Gopal Vittal called it a “game-changing” move for students, professionals, and digital families. Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas said it empowers people with real-time knowledge. Whether you’re writing papers, researching topics, or building AI apps, this free deal is a major step in making smart tech more accessible.
