12 months of Perplexity Pro, which Airtel valued at ₹17,000.

What we did not find
- Vi and BSNL: when we looked on 9 Nov 2026 we found entertainment bundles, but no AI-tool bundle. That is not proof that none exists.
- Offers shown as "Closed" can still be active for people who claimed them before the end date.
- A carrier offer is not a price we verify. Only the tool's own plan prices are marked Verified.
