  • Many Indian developers, especially in tier-2 cities, still use free versions of AI coding tools, rather than the premium ones due to budget concerns.
  • The cost of such tools is one of the major reasons behind its low adoption in India, where the tools are considered expensive.
  • Companies in India are cautious about using AI coding tools due to privacy concerns, as they fear that tools developed by large corporations might expose proprietary code.
  • While GitHub Copilot charges $10 per month after a one-month free trial, Cursor AI is free for most use cases, but the Pro version costs $20 per month.

  • Adarsh Shirawalmath, the founder of Tensoic AI, believes that AI coding tools can be expensive for university students.

  • Several Indian companies are building coding tools that allow developers to code in natural Indian languages, including GitHub.
  • Over-reliance on AI tools has caused erosion of foundational programming skills, leading to skill stagnation.
  • A hybrid approach combining AI assistance with traditional problem-solving methods seems like a logical solution to balance the advantages of both.
