The world is moving fast towards AI, and so is Reliance. So many things are happening for Reliance. At the 48th Annual General Meeting (AGM), Reliance Industries (RIL) made some big announcements. Today (August 29) at the AGM conference, Mukesh Ambani spoke about them all via Video Conferencing (VC)/Other Audio-Visual Means (OAVM). And that brings us to some important questions. Will these announcements (tech advancements) push India’s tech any further? Is the AI momentum in India picking up its pace? Well, learn more.
What’s Happening at Reliance?
The company announced new digital products, AI services, and partnerships with Google and Meta. Meaning, Reliance is going beyond telecom to become a big tech leader in India. These key updates are, in a way, very crucial for India, and here they are.
Jio Digital Twin System
This is crucial for the country, as it will make India one of the fastest in broadband service:
- Think of it like a virtual 3D India Map for telecom engineers (in telecom infrastructure), Reliance calls it a "living breathing" model.
- Generally, for a broadband to be set up, the engineers need to physically check the area and then plan.
- With this Jion Digital Twin System, the engineers can remotely check the network and activate the broadband. The process will now take less than 24 hours for users’ convenience.
- The system constantly updates the data as new data rolls in.
Jio AI Cloud 2.0
Notably, Reliance already has Jio Cloud for storing data, but now has an upgrade called AI Cloud 2.0. Now it can help:
- Jio users can now search and organize their files with voice commands in several Indian languages.
- The 2.0 version will automatically categorise the users' documents into bills, ID cards, receipts, and more.
- With natural language, you can command if you want to find files, for instance, "Show me my PAN card or Aadhar, etc.
- The new AI Create Hub will turn photos into reels, collages, or promotional videos. This feature comes in handy for content creators and small businesses (for their social media).
JioFrames (Smart Glasses)
Reliance announced the launch of AI-powered smart glasses, which are one of a kind, perhaps the first to launch in India. In July 2025, Lenskart and Qualcomm announced a collaboration to come up with next-gen AI-powered smart glasses, but the launch or updates are yet to come. The JioFrames features include:
- Works in multiple Indian languages.
- It comes with Jio’s AI voice assistant.
- One can click HD pictures, record high-quality videos, livestream directly, all while saving the files to Jio Cloud.
The glasses provide real-time help as well:
- Like it can summarize a book for you (as you read)
- It can guide you in cooking (step by step)
- It can be your travel guide with all the information you need on the go.
- The glasses have built-in open-ear speakers, so you can take calls, listen to music, or play your favorite podcasts (again, this feature will not block the outside sounds, so you feel present yet in the mood).
JioPC
Many Indian families find it expensive to afford a laptop or a PC. Jio is bridging that gap. This service is also unique in nature as it turns any TV into a functioning computer. It works:
- If you get a Jio set-up box, that will be it. You don't need a separate CPI for it because it runs on the cloud.
- One can access any computing without buying a PC. It is especially designed for students, small businesses, and professionals who are looking for an effective PC alternative.
- It comes with security and AI applications that make it fully functional as a PC.
Reliance Partnership With Google
- Reliance announced that it is expanding its partnership with Google.
- Google will create a big data center in India (a new Jamnagar Cloud Region).
- This is huge as it will bring AI and cloud computing power to Indian users, and the goal is to make AI accessible for all (people and businesses) in India.
In a pre-recorded video, the Google CEO, Sundar Pichai, said,
“As Reliance's largest public cloud partner, Google Cloud is not only powering the company's mission-critical workloads, but we are also innovating with you on advanced AI initiatives. And with Reliance and the Jio ecosystem, we are excited to put AI into the hands of more people and businesses so they can do extraordinary things."
Reliance Partnership With Meta
Reliance also announced a partnership with Meta to bring its open-source Llama AI models to Indian businesses through Jio.
“It is a key step forward towards ensuring that everyone has access to AI, and eventually, superintelligence. Meta and Reliance are going to deliver our open-source AI models to Indian businesses to help them fuel their work,” Mark Zuckerberg said.
