Mukesh Ambani unveiled Reliance Industries' ambitious AI strategy at the company's 49th annual general meeting, introducing Jio Call Agent—an AI assistant embedded directly into phone calls for 500 million users. The conglomerate announced AI-powered services spanning healthcare, education, and agriculture, all supporting 22 Indian languages, as it seeks to make India an AI creator rather than just a consumer.
Reliance AI Takes Center Stage as Mukesh Ambani Charts India's Tech Independence
Mukesh Ambani used Reliance Industries' 49th annual general meeting on Friday to position the conglomerate as India's national champion in artificial intelligence, declaring that "India should not be a mere consumer of AI created elsewhere. It must become a creator, adopter, and a global leader in AI."

Jio Call Agent Brings AI Directly Into Phone Conversations
The centerpiece announcement at the Reliance 49th AGM was Jio Call Agent, an AI assistant that joins phone calls to transcribe conversations, generate summaries, and perform tasks such as booking cabs, ordering food, and making reservations.
1
Users activate the service by saying "Hey Jio" during a call, with an "AI Assist Active" prompt appearing when the agent is listening.2
By embedding the service directly into its telecom network rather than offering it as a standalone app, Jio AI is betting that AI assistance can become a native feature of phone calls, reducing consumers' reliance on third-party call-assistant apps. The company claims the AI agent can identify up to 10 unique speakers during a conference call and even add missing members by name when requested.2
The service is expected to launch later this year for all Jio subscribers, though the company has not confirmed whether it will charge an additional fee.

Reliance Intelligence Promises Dramatically More Affordable AI for Every Indian
Akash Ambani, managing director of Jio Platforms, announced that Reliance Intelligence will "disrupt AI economics by making it dramatically more affordable for every Indian by the end of this decade," mirroring Jio's success in bringing a mobile data revolution.

To address the scarcity and high cost of compute—the biggest hurdle for AI in India—Reliance Intelligence is building sovereign AI infrastructure in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The initial 120-megawatt artificial intelligence infrastructure project will be powered entirely by clean energy from Reliance's own solar generation and is set to be commissioned by the end of 2026.3
An initial fleet of advanced Nvidia GB300 GPUs is being operationalized, with compute capacity equivalent to more than 75,000 H100 GPUs on an AI-inference basis, scaling to over 200,000 H100-equivalent GPUs as the facility becomes fully operational.3
AI-Powered Services Span Healthcare, Education, and Agriculture
Reliance Industries AI ambitions extend beyond telecommunications into sector-specific applications. The conglomerate unveiled five new AI-powered services at the annual general meeting: JioBharatIQ as a personal AI companion, AI Vyapar for small merchants and businesses, JioHealthIQ for healthcare, JioLearnIQ for students, and JioKrishiIQ for farmers.

All platforms support 22 Indian languages and are designed to operate across diverse demographics, from regional students to farmers seeking answers on crops, seeds, and weather.3
Reliance also introduced TeleFrame, a home display that uses AI agents to proactively surface information and recommendations such as weather alerts, schedules, and household reminders, echoing the ambient AI assistant push by companies including Amazon and Google.1

The Google partnership has evolved into an AI-first collaboration, with Google AI Pro powered by Gemini already accessible free of cost for hundreds of millions of Jio users. The joint venture with Meta operationalizes the LLaMA open-source AI for Indian enterprises, with Reliance Intelligence delivering sovereign hosting within India with full model transparency and portability. Last week, Reliance announced a collaboration with Meta to establish an AI data center in Gujarat, building on Meta's earlier investment in Jio Platforms.1
Earlier this year, the company announced plans to invest $110 billion in AI infrastructure as it seeks to establish itself as a major player in India's emerging AI ecosystem.1

High Stakes as Jio Prepares for Stock Market Debut
The announcements carry particular weight as Reliance prepares Jio for a long-awaited stock market debut. Ambani said Jio Platforms' board had approved a draft prospectus for an initial public offering that would include a fresh issue of up to 270 million shares.

The conglomerate needs new growth drivers, with its shares down about 17% this year. The AI push also raises questions about user data handling as Reliance expands AI-powered services across phone calls, mobile apps, and connected homes. While the company said the services would operate with user consent, it did not answer questions about whether data generated through the products could be used to train AI models or shared with technology partners.1
Reliance's ambitions come as Indian companies remain heavily reliant on foreign AI models and cloud providers, with recent restrictions on access to some of Anthropic's latest models underscoring that dependency—the kind of supply-chain risk pushing Indian conglomerates toward building their own stack.1
