What maps to what

What you gain

• INR billing with prepaid credits — no card on file, no FX surprise.
• Add data_policy: "india_only" to keep regulated traffic in India.
• optimize price/latency/uptime routing across providers, not one vendor.

Watch out for

• Keep your OpenAI account too? Use BYOK to ride your own rates through BharatRouter.
• Org-scoped headers (OpenAI-Organization) aren't needed and are ignored.
