Reliance Industries' Ambitious AI Push: Unveiling Reliance Intelligence and Strategic Partnerships with Meta and Google

Reliance Industries, led by Chairman Mukesh Ambani, is launching Reliance Intelligence, a new unit to drive artificial intelligence in India. Ambani compared AI to the divine wish-fulfilling cow, Kamdhenu, highlighting its potential to revolutionize various sectors. The company plans to build gigawatt-scale AI-ready data centers, partner with tech giants like Google and Meta, and deliver AI services for consumers, businesses, and sectors like education, healthcare, and agriculture. Reliance Intelligence aims to create a talent pool for AI research and innovation, driving growth and productivity.

Reliance Industries, led by Chairman Mukesh Ambani, has launched Reliance Intelligence, a new subsidiary dedicated to accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities in India. The initiative, announced on July 2, 2025, aims to position India as a global hub for AI innovation by building a robust AI infrastructure, fostering global partnerships, and delivering AI services across various sectors.

Mukesh Ambani, during the launch, compared AI to the divine wish-fulfilling cow, Kamdhenu, highlighting its transformative potential. Reliance Intelligence will focus on four key missions: building gigawatt-scale AI-ready data centers, forging global partnerships, providing AI services for consumers and enterprises, and incubating AI talent.

The subsidiary plans to construct AI-ready data centers in Jamnagar, powered by green energy, designed for AI training and inference at a national scale [1]. Reliance has already started construction and aims to align the delivery with India's growing AI needs.

Reliance Intelligence will also establish strategic partnerships with leading tech firms. Google, for instance, has agreed to integrate its AI technologies with Reliance’s infrastructure, creating a dedicated Jamnagar Cloud region [1]. Additionally, Reliance and Meta have formed a joint venture to bring enterprise-ready open-source AI solutions to Indian businesses, with an initial investment of ₹855 crore ($100 million) [3].

The partnership with Meta will leverage Meta’s Llama models to create AI solutions tailored for specific business needs, such as sales, marketing, IT, and customer service. This collaboration aims to scale high-performance models at a fraction of the cost, utilizing Reliance’s advanced AI data centers and Jio’s extensive connectivity network [2].

Reliance Intelligence also plans to focus on human-centric robotics and intelligent automation, aiming to transform factories, warehouses, and hospitals into adaptive and autonomous systems [1]. The initiative seeks to create new industries, agriculture models, and job opportunities for India’s youth.

Mukesh Ambani underscored the decade-long vision for digital and AI growth, drawing parallels to Reliance’s digital services revolution a decade ago. "Jio promised and delivered digital everywhere and for every Indian. Similarly, Reliance Intelligence promises to deliver AI everywhere and for every Indian," he said [1].

With its infrastructure, talent, and partnerships, Reliance Intelligence aims to drive India’s AI adoption across industries, combining green technology, India-first governance, and global collaboration. "We are building for the next decade with confidence and ambition," Ambani said, expressing his commitment to updating stakeholders on progress in the years to come.
