Mumbai, September 20, 2025 – Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), India’s largest conglomerate, has announced the launch of a new wholly owned subsidiary, Reliance Intelligence, at its 48th Annual General Meeting (AGM). The move underscores the company’s ambition to evolve from a diversified energy and retail giant into a deep-tech powerhouse, with artificial intelligence and digital innovation at the core of its future growth strategy.
A Landmark AGM Moment
Chairman Mukesh Ambani, addressing millions of shareholders through a hybrid session, described the creation of Reliance Intelligence as a “transformational step” in positioning Reliance as a global technology leader.
“Reliance Intelligence will harness the most advanced capabilities in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-driven innovation to empower businesses, communities, and individuals across India and the world,” Ambani said.
This announcement was coupled with a renewed commitment to leverage partnerships with global technology majors Google and Meta, both of whom have already invested in Reliance Jio Platforms.
What is Reliance Intelligence?
Reliance Intelligence is envisioned as a deep-tech arm that will focus on:
- AI Research & Development: Building indigenous large language models, sector-specific AI applications, and next-generation digital assistants.
- Enterprise Solutions: Providing AI-driven tools for sectors like retail, healthcare, education, logistics, and manufacturing.
- Consumer Platforms: Integrating AI into Jio’s digital services, from telecom to media and commerce, enhancing user experience and personalization.
- Global Collaborations: Working with technology partners and research institutes to position India as a hub for AI innovation.
According to Ambani, Reliance Intelligence will not just develop technology for commercial purposes but also focus on responsible and ethical AI, aligning with India’s vision of “AI for All.”
Strengthened Global Partnerships
At the AGM, Ambani revealed that Reliance will deepen its existing alliances with Google and Meta, focusing on:
- Joint AI research projects.
- Cloud infrastructure optimization for Jio’s expanding user base.
- Building secure and scalable digital ecosystems.
- Collaborative initiatives in the metaverse and immersive digital experiences.
These partnerships are expected to accelerate Reliance’s ability to roll out cutting-edge products across both B2B and B2C segments.
A Diversified Growth Strategy
The announcement of Reliance Intelligence comes alongside other major strategic priorities:
- Jio IPO in 2026: Reliance confirmed that Jio Platforms, its telecom and digital services arm, will be listed on the stock exchanges by early 2026, unlocking value for investors.
- AI and Digital Infrastructure: Reliance aims to build one of the largest AI-driven cloud and data infrastructures in Asia.
- Green Energy Push: Expanding investments in solar, hydrogen, and battery technologies, supporting India’s energy transition.
- Retail Innovation: Integrating AI-powered analytics into Reliance Retail to enhance supply chain efficiency and customer experience.
Industry Impact
The unveiling of Reliance Intelligence positions the company as one of the few global conglomerates directly entering the AI race alongside American and Chinese giants. Industry analysts view this as a watershed moment for India’s corporate landscape, signaling that Indian firms are ready to compete on the global stage in advanced technologies.
Experts also believe this move will catalyze a wave of AI adoption across Indian businesses, as Reliance is known for democratizing access to technology — similar to how Jio revolutionized mobile data access in India.
Looking Ahead
Reliance Intelligence is expected to roll out its first set of AI-powered products and services in 2026, with an initial focus on enterprise clients and government partnerships. Pilot projects are already underway in areas such as healthcare diagnostics, smart manufacturing, and intelligent logistics.
Ambani concluded his AGM address with a bold vision:
“Reliance Intelligence will not only build technology for India but also shape the global narrative of how AI can be inclusive, trustworthy, and transformative. Just as Jio put India on the world’s digital map, Reliance Intelligence will put India at the center of the global AI revolution.”
With this announcement, Reliance Industries has firmly signaled that its next decade of growth will be defined by technology leadership, AI innovation, and global competitiveness — making “Reliance Intelligence” one of the most closely watched ventures in the corporate world.
