Unlocking Your Free 1-Year Subscription of Perplexity Pro via Airtel

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

If you are an Airtel user — whether prepaid, postpaid, broadband or DTH — you’ve got a great deal waiting for you: a free 12-month subscription to Perplexity Pro. This blog post walks you through what’s included, how to claim it and answers frequently asked questions so you don’t miss out.

What is Airtel’s Perplexity Pro Offer?

Airtel has partnered with the AI-search platform Perplexity to provide one full year of the Pro subscription free of cost (worth ~₹17,000) to its Indian customers.
Here are the key details:

• The offer covers all active Airtel customers in India: mobile (prepaid or postpaid), broadband/Wi-Fi and DTH.
• No extra payment, no credit card required.
• Valid for 12 months from the date you successfully claim.
• You redeem via the Airtel Thanks app under the “Rewards / OTTs / Benefits” section.
• The subscription gives access to Perplexity Pro’s advanced features (see next section).

What makes this significant is that Perplexity Pro normally retails globally at a high price (≈ ₹17,000/year) and offers premium AI-search, model-switching and productivity tools.

• If you claim but cannot access Pro features, use the “Recover Account” option in the Airtel app under the Perplexity tile.
• The offer is available only to users in India.
• Keep an eye on the expiry or redemption deadline (if any) to claim in time. Some sources mention a claim window.
