At Reliance Industries’ 49th Annual General Meeting held on June 19, Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani laid out an ambitious roadmap positioning artificial intelligence as a defining pillar of both the company’s next phase of growth and India’s broader technological future. He urged India to transition from being a consumer of global technologies to becoming a leading creator of indigenous AI solutions.
AI as a national priority
Ambani emphasized that artificial intelligence is not just a technological shift but a structural transformation capable of reshaping economies and societies. He said India possesses the talent pool, scale, and digital ecosystem required to emerge as a global AI powerhouse, provided it builds strong domestic capabilities rather than relying on imported technologies.
Focus on self-reliance
A central focus of his address was the strategic importance of self-reliance in advanced technologies. Ambani noted that just as India has prioritized energy security and other critical national interests, it must now treat AI capability-building as a strategic priority. He highlighted that strengthening indigenous innovation will be essential for long-term competitiveness in an increasingly uncertain global environment.
Reliance Intelligence enters execution phase
A major highlight of the AGM was the update on Reliance Intelligence, the company’s dedicated artificial intelligence initiative announced last year. Ambani confirmed that the venture has now moved from conceptual planning into execution, marking what he described as a new phase of growth for the conglomerate.
Reliance Intelligence is being developed as a full-stack AI ecosystem spanning infrastructure, platforms, and services. The initiative is expected to extend Reliance’s digital footprint beyond its established strengths in telecom and internet services through Reliance Jio, enabling deeper integration of AI across industries and user applications. Ambani said the goal is to make advanced AI widely accessible to businesses, institutions, and individuals, thereby democratizing the benefits of emerging technologies.
Shift toward indigenous innovation
He also underscored a broader shift within the group toward building proprietary intellectual property instead of relying primarily on external technologies. According to Ambani, this transition reflects Reliance’s long-term vision of becoming a deep-tech innovator rather than only a large-scale integrator of global solutions.
Calling on engineers and innovators, Ambani urged the development of solutions that address both national priorities and global challenges, backed by Reliance’s scale, infrastructure, and investment capabilities. He added that the company aims to provide the freedom and resources required to build impactful technology from within India.
AI and economic resilience
Linking the AI strategy to wider economic resilience, Ambani pointed out that global geopolitical uncertainties have reinforced the need for self-sufficiency in critical sectors such as advanced technologies, energy systems, and strategic minerals.
With Reliance Intelligence now entering its operational phase, artificial intelligence is set to become a central growth engine for Reliance Industries, complementing its existing connectivity, cloud, and digital services portfolio, and reinforcing its ambition to shape India’s role in the global AI landscape.
