Mukesh Ambani on Friday announced the launch of Reliance Intelligence, a new wholly-owned subsidiary that will spearhead the conglomerate’s push into artificial intelligence. Speaking at the company’s Annual General Meeting, the Reliance Industries Chairman and Managing Director said AI is now “at the heart of Reliance’s transformation into a deep-tech enterprise.”

The new unit has been tasked with four key missions: building India’s next-generation AI-ready, green-powered data centres in Jamnagar; forging global technology partnerships; delivering affordable AI services across sectors including education, healthcare and agriculture; and nurturing world-class AI talent.

In a major boost to this effort, Ambani announced a deeper AI partnership with Google, under which a dedicated Jamnagar Cloud region will be established to power Reliance’s AI adoption. Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, said the partnership would accelerate Reliance’s transformation across energy, retail, telecom and financial services, while expanding access to AI tools for developers, start-ups and businesses across India.
