OpenAI Brings ChatGPT Ads to India, Promises User Privacy

Published: 27 August 2026 · 1 min read

What Happened

OpenAI has begun rolling out ChatGPT Ads in India for logged-in adult users on the Free and Go plans. Sponsored content will appear below responses and be clearly labelled, while Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education users will remain ad-free.

Key Takeaways

OpenAI says advertisers cannot access users’ chats, chat history, memories or personal details, and chats will not be sold for advertising. Advertisers will only receive aggregated metrics such as clicks and impressions, with no ads shown alongside sensitive topics like health or politics.
