At Reliance Industries’ 48th Annual General Meeting on August 29, 2025, Mukesh Ambani walked onstage with more than just financial targets—he delivered a bold vision: turning India into an AI powerhouse.
Meet ‘Reliance Intelligence.’
Ambani introduced the company’s newest venture—Reliance Intelligence, a wholly owned subsidiary that’s set to take AI from buzzword to daily reality. Think national-scale AI infrastructure, tailor-made services for Indian users, global tech tie-ups, and a training ground for tomorrow’s AI talent.
Fueling this vision are massive, green-powered data centers rising in Jamnagar, purpose-built to handle intense AI workloads—ones that teach models and power real-world applications.
Tech Titans Join the Mission
Reliance’s AI push isn’t happening in isolation—Google and Meta are already on board.
- Meta has committed around ₹855 crore (~$100 million) to a joint venture. Reliance controls 70%, Meta 30%. Together, they plan to roll out enterprise-scale AI tools using Meta’s Llama models—built for India, owned by India.
- Google is also partnering with Reliance to provide AI infrastructure support designed for startups and enterprises across sectors—not just a project, but a movement.
The Jio IPO Buzz
Amid the AI excitement, Ambani dropped another big headline: Reliance Jio will go public in the first half of 2026. This isn’t just another listing—it’s shaping up to be one of India’s most anticipated IPOs ever, offering a new chapter in unlocking value for investors.
Why It Matters—For India
- AI for All: Ambani drew a sharp parallel—Jio brought digital access to every Indian. Now, Reliance Intelligence aims to do the same for AI.
- Scale with Sustainability: The data centers powering this AI revolution will tap into clean energy—proving growth and eco-responsibility can go hand in hand.
- Domestic Leadership: Over time, India could not only leverage AI but also lead with it—built by Indians, for global markets.
What Comes Next?
Will these plans lead to smart tools in classrooms, farms, hospitals, and stores? Could Reliance Intelligence pave the way for Made-in-India AI models and solutions tailored to our languages and needs? Only time will tell—but the foundation has been laid.
This AGM wasn’t just about numbers—it was a manifesto. Reliance might just be engineering India’s next leap—where AI becomes everyday, everywhere.
