What happened
Google introduced AI Plus in India, a new subscription tier priced at ₹399 monthly, with an introductory ₹199 offer for six months. This tier grants enhanced access to Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro for image creation, alongside video generation via Veo 3.1 and Flow filmmaking tools. It integrates Gemini natively into Gmail and Google Docs, provides 200 GB cloud storage, and expands NotebookLM access. The plan, shareable with five family members, offers 200 monthly credits, doubling the free tier's allocation.
Why it matters
The native integration of advanced AI capabilities into Gmail and Google Docs, coupled with expanded cloud storage and family sharing, introduces a visibility gap for content provenance and data governance. This increases exposure for compliance and IT security teams to AI-generated content created and stored outside established organisational controls. Furthermore, the ability to share subscriptions across multiple users raises due diligence requirements for managing data access and usage policies, potentially complicating oversight of AI tool adoption and data residency within the enterprise.
