Reliance Industries Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani on Sunday, January 11, 2026, announced that Jio will launch a people-first artificial intelligence (AI) platform built in India for India and the world, aimed at making AI accessible, affordable and useful for every citizen. The announcement was made at the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference for the Kutch and Saurashtra region held in Rajkot.
Jio to Launch India-Built People-First AI Platform
According to Ambani, the AI platform will enable citizens, starting from Gujarat, to access AI services in their “own language, on their own device, every day to make them more efficient and productive.” He said Gujarat would be positioned as India’s artificial intelligence pioneer.
“Most respected Prime Minister, you have restored to India its civilisation, self-belief. Never, in the history of independent India, have we seen so much hope, so much self-confidence, and so much vibrancy in India as we do now. Your vision has reshaped India’s trajectory for the next 50 years and more. History will record that the Modi era is when India moved from potential to performance, from aspiration to action, from being a follower to becoming a global force,” he said, praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who inaugurated the conference.
Emphasising Reliance’s long-standing association with the state, Ambani said, “For Reliance, Gujarat is far more than a location. Gujarat is our body, heart, and soul. We are a Gujarati company. Today, I stand before you with five firm commitments.”
Rs 7 Lakh Crore Investment Commitment for Gujarat
He announced five firm commitments for Gujarat, beginning with large-scale investments. Ambani said Reliance, already the state’s largest investor, had invested over Rs 3.5 lakh crore in Gujarat over the past five years and would double this to Rs 7 lakh crore over the next five years.
“Reliance is already Gujarat’s largest investor. In the last five years, we have invested over three and a half lakh crores. Today, I’m pleased to announce that we will double this to seven lakh crores over the next five years, creating exponential employment, livelihoods, and greater sympathy for every Gujarati, and every Indian.”
Second, global leadership in clean energy and green materials.
“At Jamnagar, we are building the world’s largest integrated clean energy ecosystem, spanning solar, battery energy storage, green hydrogen, green fertiliser, sustainable aviation fuel, and maritime fuels, and advanced materials. These are not only industries of the future; they are foundations of India’s prosperous tomorrow. Jamnagar, once the largest hydrocarbon energy exporter, will, in the coming years, become India’s largest exporter of green energy and material from Gujarat.”
Third, transforming Kutch into a global clean energy hub.
“Our multi-gigawatt utility-scale solar project, among the world’s largest, will deliver round-the-clock clean power through advanced storage and modern grid integration, powering India’s green future and reinforcing Gujarat’s leadership in renewables.”
Fourth, making Gujarat India’s artificial intelligence pioneer.
“In Jamnagar, we are building India’s largest artificial intelligence-ready data centre with a single goal: Affordable AI for every Indian.”
“Jio will launch a people-first intelligence platform, built in India, or India, and the world, enabling every citizen, starting from Gujarat, to access AI services in their own language, on their own device, every day, to make them more efficient and productive.”
Fifth, partnering for India’s Olympic ambitions and social progress.
“The Reliance Foundation stands ready to serve the Prime Minister’s vision of bringing the 2036 Olympics to Ahmedabad. As a concrete step, Reliance will partner with the Gujarat government to manage the Veer Savarkar multisports complex in Naranpura, a hub for hosting national and international events and training India’s future champions.”
“We are also establishing a world-class hospital in Jamnagar, in Saurashtra, and expanding our education facilities multifold. Development of Gujarat is our Sankalp. Big in vision, bold in execution, rooted in Gujarat, and dedicated to the service of Bharat Mata.”
“Today I want to make one important point. All of us know that the world is changing very fast. The geopolitical situation is creating new challenges, including some unexpected turbulence. What is reassuring for India is that these challenges cannot touch or trouble, our people. This is because India has the invincible protective wall called Narendra Bhai Modi. Let the world know that this is India’s defining decade. Under the Prime Minister’s leadership, India is not just preparing for the future. India is shaping it, and from Saurashtra and Kutch, we, in industry, are very happy to participate in this growth and the direction that the Prime Minister has shown all of us. Thank you, respected Prime Minister, for your leadership,” Mukesh Ambani ended his speech.
