Perplexity AI has officially launched its Comet browser in India, giving users a new way to browse with built-in AI assistance. CEO Aravind Srinivas confirmed that the browser is now available for macOS and Windows users in the country starting September 22, 2025.
There’s a catch though—only Perplexity Pro subscribers can access it for now, leaving free-tier users waiting for wider availability.
What Is the Comet Browser?
Comet Browser was first unveiled globally in July 2025 and utilizes Perplexity's AI answer engine directly in browsing experience, with an AI powered sidebar assistant that remains active across tabs and projects.

Users comparing products across various e-commerce websites can simply ask their assistant to highlight the quickest delivery option rather than manually scanning every page of information themselves.
Key Features of Comet
Always-on AI Sidebar: Provides instant answers, comparisons, and context across tabs.
Agentic Capabilities: Beyond search and summarization, Comet can book meetings, convert webpages into emails, and even complete purchases.
Cross-Platform Development: Currently live for desktop, with mobile versions on the way.
This positions Comet as more than a search-driven browser—it’s built to function like a personal AI agent for the web.
How to Access the Comet Browser in India
Desktop: Available now for macOS and Windows, but limited to Pro subscribers.
Android: The app has been listed for pre-registration on Google Play in India. While no release date has been announced, availability is expected soon.
iOS: Not yet listed on the App Store, with no official launch timeline.

While the rollout is currently limited to Pro users on desktop, Perplexity is expected to gradually expand access and introduce more features. With its agent-like functionality, Comet has the potential to reshape how people search, shop, and work online.
Final Take
Comet in India is Perplexity's entry into one of the world's largest digital markets. Boasting an AI-first approach, this browser aims to go beyond simple searching to serve as a more useful assistant in everyday browsing tasks. Pro subscribers can begin using Comet right away; others must wait for wider availability and mobile releases.
