Jio to launch people-first AI platform, for India and the world: Mukesh Ambani

Mukesh Ambani announces Jio's India-first AI platform and Reliance's ₹7 lakh crore investment in Gujarat's green energy & infrastructure.

"affordable AI for every Indian - Mukesh Ambani"

Rajkot, January 11

Jio will launch a people-first artificial intelligence platform built in India, for India, and the world, Reliance Industries Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani announced on Sunday, at the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference for Kutch and Saurashtra Region in Rajkot.

According to Mukesh Ambani, the platform will enable every citizen, starting from Gujarat, to access AI services in their "own language, on their own device, every day to make them more efficient and productive."

He vowed to make Gujarat India's artificial intelligence pioneer.

"In Jamnagar, we are building India's largest artificial intelligence-ready data centre with a single goal -- affordable AI for every Indian," Mukesh Ambani said.

This regional summit in Rajkot will be a true force multiplier for the manifold development of Saurashtra, he said.

"Never in the history of independent India have we seen so much hope, so much self-confidence, and so much vibrancy in India as we do now. Your vision has reshaped India's trajectory for the next 50 years and more," he said, praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who inaugurated the conference.

For Reliance, Mukesh Ambani said Gujarat is far more than a location. "Gujarat is our body, heart and soul. We are a Gujarati company."

He announced five firm commitments for Gujarat.

"First, investment at unprecedented scale. Reliance is already Gujarat's largest investor. In the last five years, we have invested over Rs 3.5 lakh crores," he said.

He announced that Reliance Industries will double its investment in Gujarat to Rs 7 lakh crores over the next five years.

The second commitment is to make Gujarat a global leadership in clean energy and green materials.

"At Jamnagar, we are building the world's largest integrated clean energy ecosystem, spanning solar, battery energy storage, green hydrogen, green fertilizer, sustainable aviation fuel, and maritime fuels, and advanced materials. These are not only industries of the future, they are foundations of India's prosperous tomorrow. Jamnagar, once the largest hydrocarbon energy exporter, will in the coming years become India's largest exporter of green energy and material, from Gujarat," he said.

Third, he vowed to transform Kutch region into a global clean energy hub.

"Our multi-gigawatt utility scale solar project, among the world's largest, will deliver round-the-clock clean power through advanced storage and modern grid integration, powering India's green future,and reinforcing Gujarat's leadership in renewables," Mukesh Ambani said.

Fourth was the announcement of an AI platform.

Fifth, he said, Reliance will partner with Gujarat for India's Olympic ambitions.

"The Reliance Foundation stands ready to serve the Prime Minister's vision of bringing 2036 Olympics to Ahmedabad. As a concrete step, Reliance will partner with the Gujarat government to manage the Veer Savarkar Multisports Complex in Naranpura, a hub for hosting national and international events and training India's future champions. We are also establishing a world-class hospital in Jamnagar in Saurashtra and expanding our education facilities multifold," he said.

The scale of investment is mind-boggling. 7 lakh crores! If even half of the green energy and AI promises come true, it will create so many jobs. Hope the benefits reach beyond Gujarat to the whole country.

"Affordable AI for every Indian" sounds great, but I hope it's truly accessible and not just another service that ends up with hidden costs or data privacy issues. The intent is good, execution will be key.

The focus on clean energy in Jamnagar and Kutch is the most important part for me. Transitioning from a hydrocarbon hub to a green energy exporter is a massive, necessary shift. Hope this sets a template for other industrial areas.

As a Gujarati, proud to see such confidence and investment in our state. The Olympic ambition for Ahmedabad 2036 is a big dream, but with corporate partnerships like Reliance Foundation, it feels more achievable. Good for sports development!

While the announcements are impressive, I hope the development is balanced. Saurashtra and Kutch getting focus is good, but other regions in India also need such investments and visionary projects. Let's not create new imbalances.
