Summary
₹649 a month buys Cursor Start in India, the startup’s first country-specific subscription and a steep discount to its $20 Pro plan.
India became Cursor’s first localized-pricing market because it is already the company’s third-largest globally, with its local user base more than tripling over the past year.
Start targets developers who need more than the free tier, offering Composer 2.5, Grok 4.5, cloud agents and UPI billing, but excluding frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic and advanced tools such as Bugbot.
Cursor is also hiring in India — including sales, government affairs and support roles — as it tries to turn strong individual adoption into enterprise growth in banking and other large sectors.
The India push comes weeks before SpaceX is expected to close its $60 billion all-stock acquisition of Cursor in Q3, though the company says the pricing plan was already underway.
