OpenAI introduced a new student-focused initiative called ‘Chats for Students in India’ on October 27, designed to help college students use ChatGPT more effectively for studying, upskilling, and campus life. The programme includes 50+ real-world prompts, inspired by how students at top Indian institutes like IIT Madras, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), and Delhi Technical Campus already use the AI tool daily.
This rollout follows the recent India launch of ChatGPT’s Study Mode, further strengthening the platform’s education-first approach in the country.
According to Mary Meeker’s Internet Trends Report 2025, India accounts for 13.5% of global ChatGPT mobile users — the highest share worldwide.
