Do you know of any other market in the world where Meta and Google have both invested in the same company? Probably, no. But trust the Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd. to make possible the unthinkable. Not once, but twice the two global tech companies have agreed to partner with and pour in millions of dollars in oil-to-telecom-to-entertainment Reliance’s group businesses.

Yesterday RIL CMD Mukesh Ambani brought both Meta and Google together again to invest and partner with his companies on artificial intelligence-related operations with the Meta alliance being touted as being worth $100 million; later the investments could be scaled up further.

At the 44^th AGM in Mumbai yesterday, Ambani announced that Reliance Industries has partnered with Google to bring “world-class AI” in the country and reach every corner of India. The partnership will help Reliance’s businesses transform through the use of AI in energy, retail, telecom and financial services.

According to an ANI report from Mumbai, Reliance will work with Google Cloud to establish a state-of-the-art AI-focused cloud region dedicated to Reliance in Jamnagar. Google Cloud will bring world-class, latest-generation AI compute expertise, while Reliance will design, build, and power state-of-the-art cloud facilities.

“Through this partnership, we are marrying Reliance’s proven capability to build world-class assets and execute at an India scale with Google’s leading cloud and AI technologies so that developers, startups, and enterprises can innovate faster, operate more securely, and reach every corner of India,” Ambani told the shareholders.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet, which is the parent of Google, while speaking virtually, said they have long been investing in India’s digital future.

“Our partnership with Reliance and Jio has been an important part of how we do them. Our work together over the last decade has helped bring affordable Internet access to millions, helping to power India’s digital revolution,” Pichai said, according to the ANI report.

“Now we are building on this to help shape the next leap with AI. The AI opportunity in India is advanced. It will transform every industry and organisation, from the largest enterprises to the smallest Kirana Store,” Pichai added.

“As Reliance’s largest public cloud partner, Google Cloud is not only powering the company’s mission-critical workloads, we are 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 as well,” Pichai asserted.

Reliance, Meta JV to Build Enterprise AI Solutions: Reliance also announced a joint venture with Meta, which will build and scale enterprise artificial intelligence solutions for enterprises in India and select international markets.

Under the JV agreement, Reliance Industries and Meta have jointly committed to an initial investment of Rs 855 crore (USD100 million) to capitalise the JV in a ratio of 70 percent and 30 percent, respectively, the Indian conglomerate said in a statement.

Powered by Meta’s advanced open-source Llama models, the JV will offer a secure, full-stack environment for organisations to customise, deploy and govern generative-AI models for specific use cases across sales and marketing, information technology development and operations, customer service, finance, and a wide range of other enterprise workflows, and a suite of pre-configured AI solutions designed to address both cross-functional and industry-specific use cases.

The JV will be able to deploy AI solutions at scale, given the “enterprise grade” readiness of Llama, which has been proven across several production environments.

More importantly, the JV will be able to scale high-performance models at a fraction of the cost, given Llama’s lower total cost of ownership, the statement noted.

The JV will also have greater flexibility to deploy over the cloud, on-premises, and across its own infrastructure. This will allow the JV to proactively manage infrastructure costs.

The closing of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025, the conglomerate stated in its announcement.

Ambani, according to the ANI report, said, “Partnering with Meta brings our vision of providing AI to every Indian and enterprise to life — by combining Meta’s most widely adopted open-source Llama models with our deep expertise across multiple industries.”

Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO of Meta, said, “We’re excited to deepen our partnership with Reliance to bring the power of open-source AI to Indian developers and enterprises. Through this joint venture, we’re putting Meta’s Llama models into real-world use, and I’m looking forward to Meta expanding its footprint in the enterprise space as we unlock new possibilities together.”

It’s a TV or PC or Screen?: Meanwhile, media reports, quoting from the RIL AGM presentations, stated that the company also laid bare plans on Jio PC, which has been touted as a revolutionary product that transforms a TV or any other screen into a full-feature personal computer that can be used easily. It can be initiated by connecting a keyboard to the Jio set top box that will give the TV a virtual computer power.

Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd (RJIL) Chairman Akash Ambani unveiled JioPC, a virtual desktop service that runs entirely through the cloud and works straight from its Jio set-top box.

“Today, we are proud to announce another leap forward – JioPC. JioPC is that revolutionary product that transforms your TV, or any other screen, into a full-feature, AI‑ready computer. You can easily get started by connecting a keyboard into your Jio Set-Top Box. Instantly, you get a virtual computer powered from Jio’s cloud with no upfront investment.

“You simply pay for what you use. And because JioPC lives in the cloud, it is always up-to-date, secure and you can remotely upgrade your memory, storage, and computing power based on your growing needs,” Ambani said at the RIL annual general meeting.
