Plan structure and ecosystem

The tier ladder splits across 3 groups - Gaana free for entry-level use, Gaana Plus as the standard everyday tier, and Annual prepay for power users or households / teams. Confirm live regional prices on the operator's site and check Subger's true-price tracker for Gaana for all-in renewal costs after taxes and FX conversion.
