Google and Reliance: A New AI Chapter
India is stepping into a new era of artificial intelligence. At the 2025 Annual General Meeting, Mukesh Ambani announced Reliance Intelligence, a subsidiary dedicated to making India a global AI leader. To make this happen, Reliance has joined forces with two global tech giants—Google Cloud and Meta.
The vision is ambitious: bring AI to every corner of India the same way Jio once democratized internet access. This partnership is set to make AI affordable, scalable, and available to everyone from large corporations to small businesses and even farmers.
What Reliance Intelligence Will Do
Ambani outlined four key goals for Reliance Intelligence:
-
Build green AI infrastructure
Gigawatt-scale data centres will be set up in Jamnagar, powered by clean energy. These centres will handle the heavy lifting of AI training and applications. -
Forge global partnerships
Google Cloud will collaborate on a dedicated AI cloud region in Jamnagar, combining Reliance’s infrastructure with Google’s computing power. -
Deliver simple and trusted AI services
From MSMEs to healthcare and education, the idea is to make AI tools practical, affordable, and easy to use. -
Create a hub for AI talent
Reliance Intelligence aims to bring researchers and engineers together to design solutions tailored for India’s needs.
Google’s Role in the Revolution
Google Cloud will help Reliance set up AI-ready cloud infrastructure. This is not just about data storage—it’s about powering India’s AI innovation at scale. Google’s Sundar Pichai summed it up: just as Google and Jio made the internet widely accessible, this partnership will democratize intelligence itself.
The Meta Connection
Alongside Google, Reliance is working with Meta to scale open-source AI models from the Llama family. With Reliance holding a major share, these models will be turned into ready-to-use enterprise solutions, especially for India’s small and medium-sized businesses.
Why This Partnership Matters
- Infrastructure at scale: AI-ready, green data centres put India on the global map.
- Global expertise + local reach: Google’s technology meets Reliance’s nationwide execution.
- Affordable enterprise AI: Open-source solutions made practical for small businesses.
- Sustainable innovation: A focus on green energy ensures growth without compromise.
- Talent hub: India’s researchers and engineers will have a platform to create global solutions.
The Bigger Picture
Mukesh Ambani compared this AI leap to the Jio revolution a decade ago. Back then, affordable internet changed how India worked, learned, and connected. Today, AI has the same potential to redefine industries, improve lives, and set India on course to become a global AI powerhouse.
This partnership is more than corporate strategy—it’s the start of India’s AI revolution.
