Airtel to Offer Free 1-Year Perplexity Pro Subscription to All Customers
Telecom giant Bharti Airtel has announced an exciting new offer for its entire customer base — a free 12-month subscription to the AI-powered search assistant, Perplexity Pro. This premium plan, which typically costs ₹17,000 per year, is now available at no cost to all Airtel users including prepaid, postpaid, broadband (Xstream), DTH, and Wi-Fi customers.
This partnership marks a significant move by Airtel towards integrating artificial intelligence into everyday usage. With over 360 million users, Airtel becomes one of the first telecom providers globally to offer such a premium AI tool bundled with its services. Customers can claim their subscription easily through the Airtel Thanks app under the “Rewards” or “OTT” section. Once claimed, users get full access to Perplexity Pro features for a year — no credit card or payment required.
What is Perplexity Pro and Why Is This Offer a Big Deal?
Perplexity Pro is a powerful AI-based search platform that combines real-time web results with conversational capabilities. Unlike traditional search engines, it provides clear, source-backed answers, and allows users to interact with the information. As a Pro user, Airtel customers will get:
- Up to 300 daily AI searches
- Access to advanced AI models like GPT-4, Claude 3, and Grok
- The ability to upload and analyze PDFs, Excel files, and documents
- Image generation tools and Perplexity Labs for building small tools, dashboards, and automations
- A clean, ad-free experience
This offer is not just for techies — students, professionals, researchers, and creators can all benefit from Perplexity’s ability to summarize complex topics, generate creative content, and solve technical queries instantly.
The offer is valid until January 17, 2026, and can only be activated once per user. After 12 months, the subscription won’t auto-renew, but users can continue on the free tier or upgrade manually.
With this move, Airtel is setting a benchmark for telecom and AI integration in India — bringing world-class productivity tools to millions of users without extra cost.
