In a bold move that could redefine India’s position in the global AI race, Mukesh Ambani has unveiled Reliance Intelligence—a deep-tech subsidiary of Reliance Industries that promises to bring “AI to every Indian.” Announced during the company’s 48th Annual General Meeting in August 2025, this initiative is not just a corporate pivot—it’s a national ambition.
What Is Reliance Intelligence?
Reliance Intelligence is the conglomerate’s dedicated arm for artificial intelligence, designed to build sovereign, scalable, and socially impactful AI infrastructure and services. It’s positioned as the next transformative engine after Jio’s digital revolution and Reliance Retail’s consumer dominance.The Four Strategic Pillars
| Pillar | Description | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| AI Infrastructure at Scale | Gigawatt-scale, AI-ready data centers in Jamnagar powered by green energy | Enables national-scale model training and inference |
| Global Partnerships | Collaborations with Google (Gemini) and Meta (Llama) | Accelerates access to cutting-edge models and open-source innovation |
| AI for Bharat | Affordable, trusted AI services across education, healthcare, agriculture, and MSMEs | Democratizes AI access for 1.4 billion citizens |
| Talent Incubation | A hub for researchers, engineers, and designers | Fosters indigenous innovation and global competitiveness |
Why It Matters
India’s AI ecosystem has long lacked sovereign infrastructure and scalable deployment. Reliance Intelligence fills this gap by:- Localizing AI innovation while leveraging global tech
- Reducing dependency on foreign cloud and model providers
- Creating jobs in deep-tech, data science, and ethical AI
- Empowering sectors like rural healthcare, smart farming, and vernacular education
Strategic Collaborations

Vision for India: “AI Everywhere, For Everyone”
Mukesh Ambani’s vision is clear: just as Jio democratized data, Reliance Intelligence will democratize intelligence. The goal is not just to compete globally, but to lead responsibly, ensuring AI is inclusive, ethical, and tailored to India’s unique needs.“We will make India not only AI-enabled but AI-rich,” Ambani declared, signaling a shift from consumption to creation.
