Mumbai, Oct 31 : Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) on Thursday announced a major strategic collaboration between Google and its artificial intelligence (AI) arm, Reliance Intelligence Limited, aimed at fast-tracking AI adoption across India.
As part of the partnership, Google, in collaboration with Reliance Intelligence, will roll out the Google AI Pro plan featuring the latest Gemini 2.5 Pro model to eligible Jio users free of charge for 18 months. The plan valued at ₹35,100 includes enhanced access to Google’s advanced AI models such as Nano Banana and Veo 3.1 for image and video generation, expanded use of Notebook LM for study and research, 2 TB of cloud storage, and more.
Eligible users can activate the offer via the MyJio app, with early access being provided to 18–25 year old customers on unlimited 5G plans, before the rollout extends to all Jio subscribers nationwide.
“Reflecting Jio’s commitment to empowering India’s youth, we are beginning with young users and will soon include every Jio customer in the country,” RIL said in a statement.
The collaboration will also focus on developing AI-powered local experiences that reflect India’s linguistic and cultural diversity, bringing intelligent tools closer to everyday users.
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, said the partnership aligns with Reliance’s vision to democratise AI:
“Reliance Intelligence aims to make intelligence services accessible to 1.45 billion Indians. Through our collaboration with long-term partners like Google, we want to make India not just AI-enabled but AI-empowered.”
In addition, Reliance is partnering with Google Cloud to leverage its advanced Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), enabling enterprises to train and deploy larger, more complex AI models. Reliance Intelligence will also act as a strategic go-to-market partner for Google Cloud to promote Gemini Enterprise across Indian organisations.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, said:
“Reliance has been a longstanding partner in Google’s goal of advancing India’s digital future. Together, we’ve brought affordable internet access and smartphones to millions and now, we’re taking the next step with AI.”
The Reliance-Google AI partnership marks a significant leap toward building an inclusive AI ecosystem in India, combining Reliance’s vast digital reach with Google’s cutting edge AI technology.
