Wow! That’s an insane user lift for perplexity. Unsure if these will be direct integration or just as a benefit as part of the Airtel Thanks program. If it’s a benefit, assuming 4-5% conversion, that’s 15-20M users to perplexity. Perplexity is a terrible consumer name though!.

India's second-largest telco, Airtel, has partnered with Perplexity to offer a free 12-month Perplexity Pro subscription to all its 360 million customers. This partnership comes just months after Paytm integrated Perplexity’s search into its app in February.

It’s interesting how most services roles in India give best service only if you come through someone they know. Hospitals, banks, restaurants, government bodies - you name it.

This is the way only it should be! . Early stage founders, you have no excuse to not show a demo/prototype of your product (unless it’s a physical product). You need to<$20 to build one not millions in seed funding.

Is India's financial ecosystem in a league of its own? All signs this week point to YES. While other economies face uncertainty, a powerful story of resilience and revolution is unfolding in India. My latest Fintech Inside newsletter connects the dots. /1
