Comet Browser Arrives in India
Perplexity has announced the launch of its Comet Browser in India, marking a major expansion for its AI driven platform. CEO Aravind Srinivas confirmed that the browser went live on September 22 for Windows and macOS. For now, access is restricted to Perplexity Pro users, while free tier subscribers will need to wait.
The Android version has been listed on Google Play for pre registration in India, though no exact release date has been mentioned. iOS users may face delays as the App Store does not yet show a listing for the app in the country.
Features of Comet Browser
The Comet Browser is designed to bring artificial intelligence directly into everyday browsing. It comes with an AI powered sidebar assistant that can answer queries across multiple open tabs, making research and comparisons far more seamless. For instance, users can ask the assistant to identify the fastest delivery option when comparing the same product across multiple e commerce websites.
Comet also introduces agentic capabilities, allowing users to go beyond basic search. With simple text prompts, the browser can book meetings, convert a webpage into an email and send it, or even purchase products. These features highlight a shift toward browsers that act not only as information tools but as personal digital agents.
What Users Can Expect Next
Perplexity has stated that new updates will continue to enhance the browser. Planned features include more advanced AI integrations and smarter agentic tools. The company also announced that publishers will be compensated if their sites are visited through Comet Browser, aiming to create a sustainable ecosystem for online content.
Final Word
The launch of Comet Browser in India positions Perplexity as a serious competitor in the AI powered browsing space. With desktop access already available and Android pre registration live, the rollout signals a new era for how Indians interact with the web.
