Today we're launching Cursor Start, a new plan for developers in India that includes generous access to Grok 4.5 and Composer for ₹649 per month.

India has one of the most ambitious and active developer communities in the world. Our user base in India has tripled in the past year to more than 3M developers, making it our third largest market globally. It is also home to more power users than any other market in the world, with developers in India running more agent requests per developer than anywhere else.

Behind those numbers are students shipping their first projects, founders building their companies, and engineers and designers at India's fastest-growing startups building ambitious software.

For a long time, our users in India have asked us for two things: pricing that reflects the local market, and the ability to pay with UPI. Cursor Start delivers both. It's a plan built to make agentic development in Cursor accessible, priced in INR at ₹649 per month, payable with UPI, and with generous usage for everyday building. What's included in Start

Cursor Start gives developers in India expanded access to Cursor's models at a price built for the local market.

With Cursor Start, you get:

Cursor Start sits between our two other individual plans, Free and Pro.
