Reliance Intelligence: Mukesh Ambani’s Vision for India’s AI Revolution
Reliance Industries Chairman and Managing Director, Mukesh Ambani, on Friday announced the launch of Reliance Intelligence, a wholly-owned subsidiary that will spearhead India’s journey into the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI). The announcement was made during the company’s 48th Annual General Meeting (AGM), setting the stage for India’s most ambitious AI initiative to date.
Ambani revealed that Reliance Intelligence will establish gigawatt-scale AI-ready data centres, powered entirely by green energy, with the first facility already under construction in Jamnagar, Gujarat. These centres will serve as the backbone for India’s AI transformation, enabling large-scale training, deployment, and accessibility of AI technologies across the country.
Four Key Missions of Reliance Intelligence
Mukesh Ambani outlined four clear objectives for the new venture:
Building Next-Generation AI Infrastructure in India
Reliance Intelligence aims to construct state-of-the-art AI-ready data centres, equipped to handle large-scale AI training and inference workloads.
These centres will leverage Reliance’s clean energy ecosystem, ensuring sustainable operations.
Forging Global Partnerships
Collaborations with global tech giants will be crucial in advancing India’s AI landscape.
Ambani emphasized the importance of international partnerships to bring world-class AI solutions to India.
Creating AI Services for India
From education and healthcare to agriculture and small businesses, Reliance Intelligence will provide reliable and affordable AI services.
The focus will be on making AI accessible for every Indian, regardless of scale or geography.
Fostering AI Talent
Recognizing India’s growing pool of young engineers and innovators, Reliance Intelligence will invest in nurturing AI talent.
Training programs, collaborations with universities, and industry partnerships will help create a skilled workforce for the AI age.
Mukesh Ambani on India’s AI Future
“I am extremely pleased and honoured to announce the formation of a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliance called Reliance Intelligence. This new company has been conceived with four clear objectives,” Ambani said.
He further added:
“Work has already begun on gigawatt-scale, AI-ready data centres in Jamnagar. These facilities will be delivered in phases in line with India’s growing needs, powered by Reliance’s new energy ecosystem and built specifically for AI training and inference.”
Ambani stressed that Reliance Intelligence will act as a catalyst for AI adoption across critical national sectors, including education, healthcare, and agriculture, enabling scalable, reliable, and affordable solutions for millions of Indians.
Meta Joins Hands with Reliance
In a significant boost to the initiative, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg joined the AGM virtually to announce a landmark partnership with Reliance. Meta and Reliance will collaborate to provide open-source AI models, making advanced AI accessible to Indian entrepreneurs and businesses.
“With Llama, we’ve seen how AI can amplify human potential, increase productivity, inspire creativity, and accelerate innovation,” Zuckerberg said.
He further added:
“And now, with Reliance’s reach and scale, we can make it accessible to every corner of India. This venture will set a model for how AI – and one day, super intelligence – can be made accessible to everyone. This is just the beginning.”
Why Reliance Intelligence Matters
The launch of Reliance Intelligence is being hailed as a watershed moment for India’s AI ecosystem. Here’s why:
Bridging the AI Divide: Until now, India has largely depended on global players like OpenAI and Google for AI advancements. Reliance Intelligence could change that by building homegrown AI capacity.
Green AI Infrastructure: With gigawatt-scale green energy-powered data centres, the project places India at the forefront of sustainable AI development.
Boosting Local Innovation: By making AI services affordable, Reliance Intelligence could empower startups, MSMEs, and grassroots innovators.
Global Competitiveness: With partnerships like Meta, India can become a serious contender in the global AI race.
Impact on Key Sectors
Reliance Intelligence promises to revolutionize industries that directly affect millions of Indians:
Education: AI-driven personalized learning platforms to improve access and quality of education in rural and urban areas.
Healthcare: Predictive diagnostics, AI-assisted telemedicine, and affordable healthcare solutions.
Agriculture: Smart farming solutions, weather prediction, and crop monitoring to help farmers increase productivity.
Enterprises: Small and medium businesses can adopt AI-powered tools for growth, efficiency, and global competitiveness.

The Road Ahead
With Reliance Intelligence, Mukesh Ambani has positioned Reliance not just as an energy and telecom giant, but also as a pioneer in artificial intelligence.
