Airtel just added Perplexity Pro to my broadband plan.

It has no extra cost. 12 months. Full access.

In short, I now have a research buddy sitting quietly inside my router!

Only in India do you get internet that is fast, dirt cheap… and now, artificial intelligence as a value-added service.

Honestly, this might be the best freebie I have ever received on a utility bill.

And yes, we all know that AI is not some future tech anymore. It is today’s global language. Really does not matter if you are in Bengaluru or Berlin. Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and many more are part of daily vocabulary now.

The internet is upskilling the people now instead just connecting them. One prompt at a time.

So yes, Airtel… I forgive you for that one time broadband outage during a Teams call. You are now funding my AI addiction. And no, this is not a paid promo (unless you are listening, Airtel 👀)

Oh btw at this point, I half expect next now my milkman to offer “2 litres + 1 free chatbot.” 🥛🤖😉
