Amid all the chaos at Twitter since Elon Musk’s takeover — mass firings of employees, introducing and then killing the grey label and other sweeping changes — the social network has started rolling out its ‘Blue’ service to Indian users.
The platform was abuzz with several users in the country talking about receiving a prompt asking them to subscribe to Twitter Blue.
The rollout of the revamped and much talked about Twitter Blue in India came a day after it introduced the same in the United States, United Kingdom and a few other countries a day earlier.
From pricing to the new changes — here’s a look at what the Twitter Blue service will get you in India.
How much will Twitter Blue cost?
Users in India who want the ‘blue tick’ on the platform and the services that come with it will have to shell out Rs 719 per month. Incidentally, Twitter Blue costs $8 in the US, which translates to Rs 644 at the time of publishing this report.
This means that Indian users will be paying an additional Rs 75 per month compared to users in the West.
Earlier when talking about the paid Twitter Blue service, billionaire Elon Musk had said that the company would factor in price purchase parity the rate at which the currency of one country would have to be converted into that of another country to buy the same amount of goods and services in each country.
