Mukesh Ambani launches Reliance Intelligence: AI everywhere for every Indian

Billionaire Mukesh Ambani has announced the launch of Reliance Intelligence, a wholly-owned arm of Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), with the bold vision of bringing “AI everywhere and for every Indian.” Unveiled at the 48th Reliance AGM in Mumbai, the initiative is being hailed as a landmark move that could reshape India’s AI future, much like Jio did for mobile internet a decade ago.

Reliance Intelligence: A game-changing AI venture

Ambani launched Reliance Intelligence with a paid-up capital of ₹1 crore. Despite the modest capital, the strategic vision is massive — from gigawatt-scale AI data centres in Jamnagar, Gujarat to global collaborations with Google and Meta.

The company’s four missions include:

• Building large-scale, green AI data centres in India
• Forming partnerships with global technology leaders
• Developing AI applications for both consumers and industries
• Creating a talent hub of world-class AI researchers, engineers, and designers

Partnerships with Google & Meta

Reliance is deepening ties with its existing investors:

• Google – to support AI-powered data centres and cloud infrastructure.
• Meta – co-investing $100 million with Reliance to build an open-source AI platform-as-a-service for Indian businesses. Reliance will hold a 70% majority share.

These partnerships are expected to boost India’s AI adoption across industries like healthcare, education, finance, and e-commerce.

Why this matters for India

India’s data centre capacity currently stands at just 1MW per capita, compared to the US at 51MW. Reliance Intelligence’s data centre push addresses this critical gap. Experts believe Reliance’s scale and India-first approach will make AI more accessible, localized, and affordable.

For startups, tech firms, and young professionals in hubs like Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Delhi NCR, this initiative could mean a surge in AI-related jobs, research opportunities, and new markets.

Investor & market response

Despite the long-term promise, RIL’s stock closed 2.2% lower at ₹1,357 on the BSE after the AGM announcement. Analysts attributed this to cautious short-term sentiment, while noting the AI venture is strategically positive for the next decade.
