Reliance AGM | Jio promises AI to everyone, everywhere, says Chairman Mukesh Ambani

With this announcement, Jio Platforms aims to makes its foray into the rapidly expanding generative AI ecosystem with India-specific solutions.

Currently, Jio, one of the three telecom majors in the country, has an overall subscriber base of 450 million, reflecting a year-on-year revenue growth of over 20 percent, Ambani said, adding that per-user data consumption on Jio’s network has also surged, with the average user now consuming over 25 GB every month. This translates to monthly data traffic of 11,000 billion GB, representing a 45 percent year-on-year growth.

Ambani said RIL is "rapidly augmenting" its talent pool and capabilities to "swiftly assimilate the latest global innovations in AI", especially given the recent advances in generative AI.

"Jio Platforms wants to lead the effort in developing India-specific AI models and AI-powered solutions across domains, thereby delivering the benefit

of AI to Indian citizens, businesses and government alike," he said.

Ambani said India has the scale and data but lacks the necessary digital infrastructure to handle AI's computational demands, a gap Jio Platforms intends to fill. "As this sector expands, we stand committed to creating up to 2000 MW of AI-ready computing capacity, across both Cloud and Edge locations. And we will do this while adopting sustainable practices and a greener future," Ambani said.

Further, Ambani said RIL, over the next five years, will transition its footprint in technological and digital services to green energy, which he said would not just be eco-friendly, but also cost-effective.
