chatgpt
ChatGPT leads the AI race in India
ChatGPT has the largest user base in India, with around 145 million monthly active users. It is widely used for writing, studying, coding, job preparation and everyday questions. Its simple interface and broad use cases have helped it become the go-to AI app for many Indians.
2/5
gemini
Gemini is a strong second with rapid growth
Google’s Gemini has about 105 million monthly active users in India. Its deep integration with Google services, Android phones and Search has played a big role in adoption. Many users rely on it for quick answers, summaries and help within Google’s ecosystem.
3/5
perplexity
Perplexity attracts users who want clear answers
Perplexity has around 20 million monthly active users in India. It appeals to people who want direct, well-sourced answers rather than long conversations. Students, researchers and professionals often use it for fact-checking and quick learning.
4/5
Grok
Grok remains niche for now
Grok has fewer than 5 million monthly active users in India. Its presence is limited mainly to users of X who are curious about a more opinionated, real-time AI experience. While it gets attention during major news events, everyday usage is still low.
5/5
deepseek
DeepSeek is still finding its audience
DeepSeek also has under 5 million monthly active users in India. Awareness remains limited, and most users are developers or tech enthusiasts experimenting with different AI models. Wider adoption will likely depend on better visibility and simpler consumer features.
