In a major push to democratize artificial intelligence in India, Reliance Industries Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani announced on Sunday, January 11, 2026, that Jio is set to launch a groundbreaking people-first AI platform.
This India-built initiative is designed for India and the world, with the core mission of making advanced AI accessible, affordable, and genuinely useful for every citizen.
The announcement came during Ambani’s address at the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference for the Kutch and Saurashtra region, held in Rajkot.
The event, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, served as a platform for Ambani to outline Reliance’s deep commitment to Gujarat—describing the state as the company’s “body, heart, and soul.”Here are glimpses from the event where Ambani shared his vision.
He emphasized that the platform will empower users to access AI services in their own language, directly on their personal devices, every single day—helping boost efficiency and productivity in everyday life.
The rollout will begin in Gujarat, positioning the state as India’s pioneer in artificial intelligence.This ambitious project will be powered by India’s largest AI-ready data centre, currently under construction in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
Ambani described its singular goal as delivering “affordable AI for every Indian.”The AI announcement forms part of Ambani’s broader five-fold commitment to Gujarat, including a massive ₹7 lakh crore investment over the next five years (doubling previous levels), leadership in clean energy through world-scale solar projects, and support for India’s Olympic aspirations.
With India’s linguistic diversity and vast population in mind, this people-centric approach could transform AI from an elite tool into everyday infrastructure—starting from Gujarat and extending nationwide and globally.
As Reliance continues to invest heavily in digital and green futures, this move signals India’s growing role in shaping inclusive, homegrown AI innovation.
