It’s that time of the year once again, when Google gives an analysis of the top searches made in the year. The company has released a separate report on the top searches in India and un-surprisingly AI related searches were among some of the most popular terms.
What were the top searched terms in India in 2025?
As per Google data shared on Thursday, Indian Premier League (IPL) was once again the most searched term in India. However, while there were no AI related search terms in the top 10 list in 2024, the company says Google Gemini was the second highest searched term this year, while xAI’s Grok chatbot was in the eighth spot. Surprisingly, ChatGPT, the most popular chatbot by market share, did not find a place in the top 10 list.
“We witnessed deep curiosity for the AI world; Google Gemini soared to become the number two top trending search, while people embraced Nano Banana trends,” Google said in a blogpost.
Apart from this, trending sports events like the ICC Champions Trophy, Asia Cup, Pro Kabaddi League and Women’s World Cup were also among the top searched terms.

AI dominates Google search trends
Google also released a separate list for top trends in India, which was dominated by image creation trends powered by Gemini Nano Banana and ChatGPT. The top trend for the year was the Gemini trend, followed by the Ghibli trend and 3D model trend. Notably, the launch of Google’s Nano Banana model led users to create 3D models of themselves and retro looking saree images, among a host of other trends. The Nano Banana Pro model by Google has turned out to be more powerful than its predecessor, but it has not led to a similar viral trend.
