How Ambani plans to milk the Kamdhenu cow
Reliance Industries is boosting its focus on artificial intelligence. Mukesh Ambani announced Reliance Intelligence, a new unit for AI. Partnerships with Meta and Google are central to this push. Reliance will build AI-ready data centers. Google and Reliance are establishing a Jamnagar Cloud region. Meta and Reliance will deliver open-source AI models to Indian businesses. From oil to data to artificial intelligence (AI), India's biggest conglomerate Reliance Industries has been on a reinvention drive. Nearly a decade ago, Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani brought data and connectivity to the Indian masses. Now he aims to do the same with AI. Addressing the annual general meeting (AGM) of Reliance on Friday, Ambani described the "miraculous power" of AI in an evocative metaphor of Kamdhenu, the divine wish-fulfilling cow in Hindu mythology. "Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and allied deep technologies have already begun to boost productivity, efficiency and human potential to unimaginable levels. Because of the miraculous power, AI can now be called the new Kamdhenu, the divine wish-fulfilling cow of our age," Ambani said. He meant to drive home the potential of AI to revolutionise most of the spheres of life and thus business and industrial sectors. Ambani unveiled Reliance Intelligence, a new wholly owned unit to drive artificial intelligence in India. "Artificial Intelligence is already at the heart of Reliance's transformation into a Deep-Tech enterprise. To bring even more focus and speed to this agenda, today, it is my great pleasure and privilege to announce the formation of a new wholly-owned subsidiary called Reliance Intelligence," he said. At the heart of Reliance's AI push are its new partnerships with Meta and Google. Ambani outlined four missions for Reliance Intelligence. First, to house India's next-generation AI infrastructure, Reliance Intelligence will build gigawatt-scale, AI-ready data centres, powered by green energy and engineered for training and inference at national scale. Work has already begun on the gigawatt-scale, AI-ready data centres in Jamnagar. Second, Reliance Intelligence will bring the world's best tech-companies and open-source communities together with Reliance's deep-domain expertise and execution strength, to deliver performance leadership, resilient supply, and India-first compliance for AI. Third, to build AI services for India, Reliance Intelligence will deliver trusted, easy-to-use AI services for consumers, small businesses, and enterprises, and solutions for sectors of national importance such as education, healthcare and agriculture. The services will be reliable at scale and affordable for every Indian. Fourth, to house talent for AI, Reliance Intelligence will create a home for world-class researchers, engineers, designers, and product builders, combining the speed of research with the rigour of engineering, so that ideas become innovations and applications, providing solutions to India and the world. Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, said his company's partnership with Reliance and Jio over the last decade has helped bring a?ordable internet access to millions, helping to power India's digital revolution, and now they are taking the next leap with AI. "Google and Reliance are partnering to help all of Reliance's businesses transform, using AI - from Energy and Retail to Telecom and Financial Services. To support this AI adoption, together we are establishing a Jamnagar Cloud region, built for and dedicated to Reliance. It will bring world-class AI and compute from Google Cloud, powered by clean energy from Reliance, and connected by Jio's advanced network. As Reliance's largest public cloud partner, Google Cloud is not only powering the company's mission-critical workloads, but we are also innovating with you on advanced AI initiatives. And with Reliance and the Jio ecosystem, we are excited to put AI into the hands of more people and businesses so they can do extraordinary things, as well. This is only the beginning," Pichai said. Ambani said Reliance is also forming a dedicated joint venture with Meta to combine open models and tools with the company's execution in energy, retail, telecom, media and Manufacturing, and to deliver sovereign, enterprise-ready AI for India. Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO of Meta, said, "Meta and Reliance are going to deliver our open-source AI models to Indian businesses to help them fuel their work. With Llama, we have seen how AI can amplify human potential, boosting productivity, inspiring creativity, and accelerating innovation. And now, with Reliance's reach and scale, we can bring this to every corner of India. Llama's open-source foundation means that whether it is deployed in a cloud, on premises, or through dedicated infrastructure, this technology can be tailored to it the unique needs of every business: from small start-ups in remote towns to large enterprises in the biggest cities. With this partnership, we are beginning to build our vision for the future where every entrepreneur, creator, and company has the tools they need to succeed. I believe that this venture will become a model for how AI - and one day superintelligence - can be delivered to everyone. This is just the beginning." Ambani also said Reliance is investing into robotics, especially humanoid robotics. "Astonishing advances are taking place in this field. Intelligent automation will transform factories into adaptive production systems, warehouses into autonomous supply chains, and hospitals into centres of precision care. We are investing to make India a leader in human-centric robotics powered by AI, creating new types of industries and services, new types of agriculture, new types of jobs, and attractive new opportunities for our youth," he said.

Reliance's big AI bet a positive move, will help Indian IT companies: Sandip Agarwal
Reliance Industries' push into artificial intelligence (AI) through its new arm, Reliance Intelligence, could be a game changer for India, according to Sandip Agarwal, Fund Manager at Sowilo Investment Managers. Reliance Industries' push into artificial intelligence (AI) through its new arm, Reliance Intelligence, could be a game changer for India, according to Sandip Agarwal, Fund Manager at Sowilo Investment Managers. Speaking to ET Now, Agarwal said Reliance's strategy combines hardware, software, and products in a way that sets it apart. "On the hardware side, they are investing heavily in data centres and GPUs at Jamnagar. On the software side, they have tied up with Meta, which has developed its Llama large language model (LLM). Reliance has also hired top AI talent from global players," he explained. Agarwal says Reliance's entry into artificial intelligence is an excellent strategy. It is a highly positive approach to organizing things. While all hardware and software can't be developed in a short timeframe, the adjustments they are making and their efforts to utilize the Jio platform for outreach are truly remarkable. Sowelo has a very optimistic outlook on this. Agarwal noted that Reliance's earlier acquisition of Haptik would also play a role, as it builds AI-based solutions such as chatbots. These, he said, could eventually be scaled up and delivered to millions of retail users through the Jio platform. "This is a very strong strategy. You don't have a choice but to launch, because AI platforms like OpenAI and Perplexity are already disrupting the market," he added. On whether Reliance would move into IT services or SaaS, Agarwal was clear that this was unlikely. Instead, he said Reliance's AI focus could indirectly benefit Indian IT companies. "Tweaking LLMs, building APIs, and running AI solutions for Indian users will need local expertise. That means domestic revenues for IT firms could grow, something we have not seen for years. It's a 5-10 year story, but very positive," he said. Reliance Retail, meanwhile, has set an ambitious 20% annual growth target. Agarwal said retail could command higher valuations than energy or telecom, thanks to its integration of apps, online platforms, and physical stores. The business could gain even more attention as Reliance moves closer to a retail IPO. However, despite Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani's bold target of doubling EBITDA by 2027, investors have not been impressed in the short term. The company's stock slipped after the AGM announcements. "The numbers were mostly in line with earlier guidance, so there was no surprise. The real positive is Reliance Intelligence, but since it is still in a very early stage, the market has not factored it in yet," Agarwal explained.

Miraculously-powerful AI a new Kamdhenu, divine wish-fulfilling cow of our age: Ambani at RIL AGM - The Economic Times
At the AGM (annual general meeting), eliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani explained how breakthroughs and convergence of three powerful technological transformations: clean energy, genomics, and AI, are changing the global narrative to one of super abundance and super affordability.Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and allied deep technologies are boosting productivity, efficiency and human potential to unimaginable levels, Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani said on Friday, describing the "miraculous power" of AI as a new 'Kamdhenu', the divine wish-fulfilling cow. Addressing the AGM (annual general meeting) of RIL, Ambani outlined how the convergence of three powerful technological transformations -- breakthroughs in clean energy, genomics, and AI -- are changing the global narrative to one of super abundance and super affordability. "Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and allied deep technologies have already begun to boost productivity, efficiency and human potential to unimaginable levels. Because of the miraculous power, AI can now be called the new Kamdhenu, the divine wish-fulfilling cow of our age," Ambani said. Reliance, he said, sees the three convergent transformations not as distant possibilities, but as immediate opportunities for India. Ambani noted that the global economy is navigating through an era of great uncertainty, where geopolitical tensions are rising, volatility is persistent and predictability is scarce. He said that the world is realising that conflict produces no winners, whereas cooperation ensures shared prosperity. "When nations cooperate, trade flows freely, investments flourish and everyone wins. In today's interdependent world, the prosperity of each country is inseparably linked to the prosperity of all," he said. Paradoxically, despite the surrounding uncertainty, humanity stands at the threshold of a golden age in the 21st century, an age Ambani said is no longer defined by scarcity, but by super abundance and super affordability for all the 8 billion people in the world. "This has become possible because of the convergence of three powerful technological transformations. Breakthroughs in clean energy are unlocking a future of abundance, sustainability and security, raising hopes for overcoming the climate crisis. Breakthroughs in genomics promise dramatic improvements in cure of diseases, longevity and overall health," he said. Jio is developing AI as a new growth engine, besides embedding it across all the businesses, from retail to telecom.

Reliance AGM 2025 Key Takeaways: RIL is developing AI as its new growth engine, says chairman Mukesh Ambani
Reliance Industries AGM: The global economy today is navigating through an era of great uncertainty, RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani said at the group's keenly-watched 48th annual general meeting on August 29. The world is realising that conflict produces no winners, and when nations cooperate, trade flows freely, he said. While uncertainty surrounds us. Humanity all still stands at the threshold of a golden age in the 21st century, Ambani said. This has become possible because of the convergence of three powerful technological transformations; breakthroughs in clean energy are unlocking a future of abundance, sustainability, and security, raising hopes for overcoming the climate crisis, he added. "We see these three convergent transformations, not as distant possibilities, but as immediate opportunities. For India, therefore, we are building the world's most advanced clean energy ecosystems. We are expanding into the frontier of digital health, life sciences and genomics, and we are developing AI as a new growth engine, besides embedding AI across all our businesses, from region to Telecom, from energy to take India. India, with its scale, talent and entrepreneurial spirit is uniquely positioned to lead in this new era of AI lean energy engine office, and reliance as position itself, confidently to lead our nation's mission to ensure that abundance and affordability become the birth right of every indian," Ambani said. The company is developing artificial intelligence as its new growth engine, Mukesh Ambani said. AI can now be called the Kam dhenu ---the divine wish-fulfilling cow of our lives, he added. The possibilities created by these new technologies are staggering, Ambani said, adding that the global GDP today is at $110 trillion has the potential to reach $500 trillion within the next 25 to 30 years. Despite geopolitical uncertainty, one truth is clear that India is on the rise, Ambani observed. "India is on the rise, and India's rise is unstoppable today, India already ranks among the world's top four global economics under the determined leadership of Modi," he said. "The right set of reforms, advanced manufacturing capabilities and a national priority on deep debt, our economy can grow at 10% -- this will mean that the per capita income of Indians would rise four to five times within the next two decades," Ambani noted. Investors were looking forward to the marquee event for key announcements from Ambani that could give an indication of the road-ahead for what is expected to be a grand new chapter for the company, its different businesses, and its investors. The lens was specially emerging top businesses such as retail, digital and energy. In Reliance's last annual report (released this August), the company said that its retail business saw gross revenue of Rs 3.31 lakh crore in FY25 -- a jump of 7.9 percent over the previous year. FY25 saw its retail store count going up to 19,340 after the addition of 2,659 new stores. This is the biggest store count for any Indian retailer, the report said. Reliance Retail closed the year with steady momentum in its jewellery, apparel, and footwear verticals, maintaining consistent growth in these consumer-facing businesses. In its annual report, the group highlighted the rapid expansion of Jio's telecom arm, which continues to strengthen its dominance in 5G services, fixed broadband, and integrated network solutions. These technologies, developed in-house, are already being rolled out at scale across India and are planned for global deployment as well -- an approach the company believes will fuel sustained growth and deliver predictable returns for shareholders. Jio now operates the world's largest data network, serving 488 million customers, with close to 191 million already using its 5G services. Looking further ahead, the company has intensified research in next-generation communication technologies, with an ambition to lead not only in the development but also in the worldwide rollout of 6G. On the oil-to-chemicals side, the company acknowledged that shifting geopolitics and tariff-related uncertainties could disrupt trade and create volatility in supply-demand dynamics. RIL expects crude prices to remain unstable as a result of sanctions, tariff changes, and production decisions by OPEC and non-OPEC producers. Despite these challenges, global oil consumption is projected to grow, supported by strong economic fundamentals, policy support in China, and the possibility of reduced geopolitical tensions -- even as electric vehicle adoption accelerates. RIL's 2025 oil market outlook foresees pressure on refining margins due to the commissioning of new refineries. However, the company also flagged that anticipated refinery closures may provide opportunities for margins to strengthen. Within India, fuel demand is expected to stay buoyant on the back of rising economic activity. The downstream chemicals segment, meanwhile, is likely to expand faster than GDP growth, supported by demand from industries such as infrastructure, packaging, automotive, and agriculture. Brokerage assessments suggest that Reliance's New Energy division will dominate investment plans in the coming years. The company has already laid out a roadmap for scaling up its integrated green energy ecosystem, with defined structures and timelines. The strategy spans the entire chain -- from silica sand to finished solar modules -- along with the creation of large-scale battery storage systems to ensure round-the-clock renewable power, both for internal use and external supply. These projects will also back green hydrogen production, supported by in-house electrolyser technology. The hydrogen output will feed into green chemicals such as methanol and ammonia, while compressed biogas (CBG) will help produce sustainable aviation fuel. According to analysts, RIL's pace of execution in green energy is already running ahead of expectations, which could translate into significant long-term upside for the company.

Reliance Intelligence is the new Jio for Mukesh Ambani: Can AI leap help RIL become deep-tech giant?
Billionaire Mukesh Ambani is betting his next trillion-rupee fortune on artificial intelligence, launching Reliance Intelligence as his most audacious gambit yet. Reminiscent of his 2016 promise to deliver data for all with Jio's launch, he now pledges AI everywhere for every Indian, a move brokerages are already calling India's most aggressive play on GenAI. The word "AI" thundered through Friday's AGM a staggering 80 times, as Ambani unveiled his master plan to transform RIL from an oil-to-chemicals behemoth into a deep-tech powerhouse, complete with $100 million joint ventures, gigawatt-scale data centers, and partnerships with Silicon Valley's biggest names. "RIL's ambition to be India's AI powerhouse should be NAV-accretive, as it integrates GenAI infrastructure at gigawatt scale with its new energy vertical, and ties up with hyperscalers to drive internal adoption and offer AI as a service," said Morgan Stanley analyst Mayank Maheshwari. As India races to catch up on AI infrastructure, Maheshwari said Reliance has all the ingredients to become the country's most aggressive play on GenAI, replicating the U.S. hyperscaler model by offering power generation capacity to data centers for AI inferencing and training. At Friday's AGM, it was announced that Reliance Intelligence would be formed as a 70:30 joint venture between Reliance and Meta, focused on building next-gen AI infrastructure, forming global partnerships, delivering AI services, and attracting top AI talent. RIL and Meta have jointly committed an initial investment of $100 million, with the transaction expected to close by December. Meta and Reliance will also deliver open-source AI models to Indian businesses to help fuel innovation and productivity. Also Read | What record-breaking Jio IPO means for 44 lakh Reliance Industries shareholders "A decade ago, digital services became a new growth engine for Reliance. Now, the opportunity before us with AI is just as large, if not larger," Ambani declared. "Jio promised and delivered digital everywhere and for every Indian. Similarly, Reliance Intelligence promises to deliver AI everywhere for every Indian." Reliance Intelligence has begun work on building gigawatt-scale, AI-ready data centres, powered by green energy, in Jamnagar. The company announced a partnership with Google Cloud to establish a state-of-the-art, AI-focused cloud region at Jamnagar. "We estimate that a 1GW data center facility would require approximately 678,000 B100 chips. If RIL were to use around 200MW for its own purposes, it would need about 135,000 B100 chips. Additionally, 1GW of data center capacity - once scaled, which typically takes 4-5 years from startup - would require roughly 1.3GW of round-the-clock power." Sandip Agarwal, Fund Manager at Sowilo Investment Managers, said Reliance Industries' push into artificial intelligence through its new arm, Reliance Intelligence, could be a game-changer for India. "On the hardware side, they are investing heavily in data centres and GPUs at Jamnagar. On the software side, they've partnered with Meta, which has developed the Llama large language model. Reliance has also brought in top AI talent from global players," he said, adding that "it's a very strong strategy." Reliance's earlier acquisition of Haptik is expected to play a crucial role in scaling AI-based solutions, such as chatbots, to millions of retail users through the Jio platform. The 70:30 joint venture with Meta for Llama-based agentic AI implementation, along with a partnership with Google for cloud solutions and GenAI compute, should help improve RIL's ROIC, starting with Reliance Retail, Morgan Stanley noted. "We believe RIL's clean energy infrastructure to power data centers has come at an opportune time to support its new AI business, RIL Intelligence, especially as China's anti-innovation measures are slowing the supply of solar panels and the related supply chain," the brokerage said. "We think Reliance still has a long road ahead to make a meaningful dent in humanoid technology," even as "our analysts forecast humanoids -- i.e., physical AI, will become a US$5 trillion market by 2050." Antique Stock Broking commented that the industrial logic of owning clean power, a strong network, and cloud partnerships could compress unit costs and de-risk the supply chain, but emphasized that monetization will hinge on enterprise AI workloads and India-specific services. "The AGM's 'deep-tech' pitch was strong; market reclassification needs commercial proof at scale," the brokerage said. As Mukesh Ambani embarks on his second digital revolution, the question is no longer whether AI will transform India -- but whether Reliance Intelligence can capture and monetize that transformation at the scale that made Jio a household name across the country.
