My first internship was exactly 10 years ago. ₹5k INR per month. Enough to cover travel to the office but not much else. Last year, I hired interns from my college; same batch and program I was in. ₹20k per month.

It's game over for Indians. Real AI tools will increasingly be priced at $200+, completely unaffordable to anyone in the country. To those saying it costs the same to service an Indian consumer than anyone else, so why should they be charged less, you should be asking the same
