Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani has voiced a strong belief in the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive India's next phase of growth, urging people not to fear the technology. Speaking at the Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) annual general meeting (AGM) in August 2025, Ambani announced Reliance Intelligence, a new wholly-owned subsidiary focused on AI infrastructure and services, and partnerships with Google and Meta.

Ambani stated that AI is more than just a technological advancement; it's a transformative force with the potential to revolutionize various sectors, from retail and telecommunications to energy and entertainment. He drew parallels between the digital revolution spearheaded by Jio and the coming AI revolution, expressing his confidence that Reliance Intelligence will deliver AI to every Indian, just as Jio delivered digital services.

Reliance Intelligence is built upon four key missions: to host India's next-generation AI infrastructure, foster global partnerships, build AI services for India, and nurture AI talent. The company plans to construct gigawatt-scale, AI-ready data centers powered by green energy, engineered for both training and inference at a national scale. These data centers will be located in Jamnagar.

Ambani also highlighted India's unique position to lead in the age of AI and genomics, emphasizing the country's scale, talent, and entrepreneurial spirit. He believes that AI can help ensure abundance and affordability for every Indian.

India is making significant strides in AI development, exemplified by the IndiaAI Mission, launched in March 2024 with a budget exceeding ₹10,000 crore. The mission aims to provide accessible AI infrastructure, and has already achieved 38,000 GPUs available at subsidized rates. Initiatives like Bhashini, which offers AI-powered translation in 20 Indian languages, and BharatGen AI, India's first government-funded multilingual large language model supporting 22 languages, demonstrate the potential of AI to serve diverse populations.

Ambani's vision aligns with the broader industry outlook. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has repeatedly highlighted India as a standout destination for global capital, noting the lifting of global uncertainty and the return of capital flows to dynamic markets like India. Fink's recent visit to India and BlackRock's joint venture with Jio Financial Services underscore the growing strategic importance of the country.

Reliance's commitment to AI extends beyond infrastructure. Akash Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm, introduced a suite of AI-powered tools at the AGM, including GOPC, a cloud-powered virtual computer that can transform any TV or screen into an AI-ready PC. These innovations reflect Reliance's ambition to integrate AI into various aspects of daily life.

Mukesh Ambani's optimism about AI's potential to power India's growth is grounded in the belief that technology should be embraced rather than feared. By investing in AI infrastructure, fostering talent, and forging global partnerships, Reliance aims to make AI accessible and beneficial for all Indians.
