At the eighth edition of the India Mobile Congress, being held at Delhi’s Pragati Maidan, Reliance Jio Chairman Akash Ambani talked about how AI’s adoption can position India as a global leader, foster self-reliance, and finally lead to the desired economic development by 2047.
In this regard, Akash Ambani illustrated two key suggestions for PM Modi on the role of AI.
First, he empahsised on the importance of “Atma Nirbhar” or self-reliance in India, and stressed on the urgent need for a holistic AI strategy. “My first suggestion, artificial intelligence will transform every aspect of our lives and bring in an era of unimaginable abundance. With AI, India has the potential to completely transform into the new-age factory and service centre for the world. AI is absolutely critical for realising our dream of Viksit Bharat by 2047,” Ambani said.
Further, he outlined the scale and speed of multilingual data generation in India which will drive the AI revolution. “We request the government to expedite the updating of the 2020 draft of the data centre policy that Indian data should remain in India’s data centres. Therefore, Indian companies ready to set up AI and ML data centres should get all necessary incentives including incentives for power consumption,” he added.
The event is centered around the theme ‘The Future is Now‘, and will cover 5G applications and insights into AI, IoT, cloud computing, cybersecurity, semiconductors, and green technology.
AI at the Heart of Reliance’s Vision
Interestingly, last month, Pranav Mistry, CEO of TWO – a reliance backed tech startup – invited Mukesh Ambani and Akash Ambani to their US offices to have a conversation on the role of AI in India and globally. TWO has introduced SUTRA, a family of cost-effective multilingual generative AI models proficient in over 50 languages. The technology is accessible via the ChatSUTRA app, offering functionality comparable to ChatGPT.
In addition, Reliance Industries have initiatives like Jio Brain, Jio AI-Cloud, and Jio Phone Call AI, that signal its deep investment in shaping India’s AI future and taking on global cloud giants.
Akash Ambani was always bullish on India being the world’s largest data market, and credits Jio for this success. Jio’s entry into the AI cloud market is a direct challenge to established players like Google Cloud. As part of its AI strategy, Jio introduced the Jio AI-Cloud Welcome Offer, which provides up to 100 GB of free cloud storage for Jio users starting this Diwali.
