Reliance Industries chair and MD Mukesh Ambani unveiled Reliance Intelligence, a new wholly owned subsidiary focussed on driving the company’s AI ambitions.

The new unit will focus on developing AI infrastructure, enabling global partnerships and building AI services across key sectors including education, healthcare, and agriculture.

“Artificial intelligence is already at the heart of Reliance’s transformation into a Deep-Tech enterprise,” Ambani told shareholders at the company’s 48th Annual General Meeting, noting the new subsidiary will “bring even more focus and speed to this agenda”.

Outlining the entity’s four-pronged strategy, the business tycoon revealed that work is already underway on gigawatt-scale, AI-ready data centres in the city of Jamnagar in the western state of Gujarat. The facilities will be powered by green energy and delivered in phases aligned with the country’s growing digital infrastructure needs, aiming to support AI training and inference workloads.

The subsidiary will offer AI services aimed at consumers, small businesses and enterprises, with an emphasis on affordability and scalability in the Indian market. In addition, it will invest in building an in-house talent pool of engineers, researchers and product teams.

Ambani noted Reliance Intelligence will also serve as a platform for global tech collaboration, bringing “the world’s best tech-companies and open-source communities together with Reliance’s deep-domain expertise and execution strength”. The unit aims to deliver high-performance AI systems with a spotlight on supply resilience and India-first compliance, he added.

The launch of Reliance Intelligence is part of broader AI push at the Ambani-owned conglomerate, as India ramps up national efforts to boost digital infrastructure and AI innovation. During the meeting, Reliance also announced an AI joint venture with Meta backed by an INR8.6 billion ($96.9 million) investment and an expanded partnership with Google Cloud to build AI-focused cloud infrastructure in Jamnagar.
