When India’s richest man speaks, the whole country listens. And today, Mukesh Ambani had plenty to say at Reliance AGM 2025 that’s got everyone talking – from regular folks to stock market experts.
The 48th annual meeting wasn’t just another corporate event. It was packed with announcements that could change how millions of Indians use technology in the coming years.
The biggest surprise? A brand new company that nobody saw coming.
The Jio IPO News Everyone’s Been Waiting For
Let’s start with what everyone wanted to know. When will Jio finally go public? Ambani finally gave us a date.
“We are aiming to list Jio by the first half of 2026, subject to all necessary approvals,” he announced at Reliance AGM 2025. That’s just about 18 months away – much sooner than many people expected.
This is huge news. Jio has over 400 million users, making it one of the world’s largest telecom companies. When it goes public, regular Indians will finally get a chance to own a piece of the company that changed how we all use the internet.
Think about it – five years ago, most people couldn’t afford fast internet. Now millions of Indians video call relatives daily, all thanks to Jio’s affordable data plans.
Meet “Reliance Intelligence” – The New AI Powerhouse
Here’s where things get really interesting. Ambani announced something nobody expected at Reliance AGM 2025 – a completely new company called Reliance Intelligence.
“AI is the new Kamadhenu,” Ambani said, comparing artificial intelligence to the mythical cow that grants all wishes. That’s a pretty big claim, but he’s backing it up with serious money and partnerships.
This new company has four main jobs. First, it’ll build massive data centers powered by clean energy – we’re talking about facilities that can handle AI work for the entire country. Second, it’ll bring together the world’s best tech companies and open-source communities. Third, it’ll create easy-to-use AI services for everyone from small businesses to big corporations. Finally, it’ll develop AI solutions for important sectors like healthcare and education.
The amazing part? Reliance Intelligence is partnering with Google and Meta (Facebook’s parent company) to make this happen. Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai even joined the Reliance AGM 2025 virtually to announce they’re building a special cloud region in Jamnagar just for Reliance.
New Gadgets That Could Change Everything
Ambani didn’t just talk about big business stuff. He showed off some pretty cool new products that regular people might actually use.
There’s JioFrames – AI-powered smart glasses that you can talk to in multiple Indian languages. Imagine asking your glasses for directions in Hindi or Tamil, and they actually understand you. That’s the kind of stuff that seemed like science fiction just a few years ago.
Then there’s JioPC, which can turn any TV into a full computer. For millions of Indian families who can’t afford expensive laptops, this could be a game-changer. Your regular TV becomes your work computer, gaming machine, and entertainment center all in one.
During Reliance AGM 2025, they also announced RIYA – a voice assistant that makes finding content super easy. No more scrolling through hundreds of shows to find something to watch.
The AI Revolution Starts at Home
What’s really smart about Ambani’s approach is that he’s not just copying what Silicon Valley does. He’s building AI that actually works for Indian families.
Take the new voice features for JioHotstar. You can now watch cricket matches or movies dubbed in your favorite regional language, just by asking for it. That’s the kind of localization that makes AI useful for real people, not just tech geeks.
At Reliance AGM 2025, Ambani kept emphasizing that AI should work “for every Indian.” That’s not just a marketing slogan – it’s a pretty radical idea when you think about how most AI companies focus on English speakers in rich countries.
Why This Matters for Your Money
Let’s be honest – most people care about these announcements because of what they mean for Reliance’s stock price and the Indian economy.
The Jio IPO alone could be one of the biggest public offerings in Indian history. When it happens, it’ll create wealth for early investors and give regular people a chance to invest in India’s digital future.
But the AI stuff is equally important. India has been trying to become a global tech leader for decades. With Reliance Intelligence and its partnerships with Google and Meta, we might finally have a genuine opportunity at it.
During Reliance AGM 2025, Ambani talked about building “gigawatt-scale” data centers. That’s enough computing power to serve not just India, but potentially the entire South Asian region.
The Green Energy Angle
Here’s something that didn’t get as much attention but is equally important – all these new AI data centers will run on clean energy.
Ambani mentioned this several times during Reliance AGM 2025, and it’s not just for show. Running AI requires massive amounts of electricity, and if you’re not careful, it can be terrible for the environment.
By powering their AI infrastructure with renewable energy, Reliance is trying to show that you can have cutting-edge technology without destroying the planet. That’s especially important in India, where air pollution is already a huge problem in many cities.
What About the Competition?
Of course, Reliance isn’t the only company trying to dominate India’s digital future. Amazon, Microsoft, and other tech giants are all spending billions here too.
But Reliance has some unique advantages. They already have the largest telecom network in the country through Jio. They have thousands of retail stores through Reliance Retail. And now, with Reliance Intelligence, they’re building the AI infrastructure to tie it all together.
During Reliance AGM 2025, it became clear that Ambani’s strategy isn’t just about competing with other companies – it’s about creating an entire ecosystem where everything works together seamlessly.
The Skeptics Have a Point Too
Not everyone is completely convinced by on all these grand plans. Some analysts point out that Ambani has made big promises before that took longer than expected to deliver.
Remember, he first talked about a Jio IPO back in 2019. It’s taken this long to get a concrete timeline, and even now it’s “subject to all necessary approvals.”
The AI space is also incredibly competitive. Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI have massive head starts. Building a successful AI company from scratch, even with all of Reliance’s resources, won’t be easy.
Looking Ahead
Whether you’re a Reliance shareholder, a Jio customer, or just someone interested in India’s tech future, Reliance AGM 2025 gave us a lot to think about.
The Jio IPO will probably be the most watched stock market event of 2026. The success or failure of Reliance Intelligence could determine whether India becomes a real player in the global AI race.
Most importantly for regular people, these developments could make advanced technology much more affordable and accessible. If Ambani delivers on his promises, your next phone upgrade, internet plan, or even AI assistant could be dramatically better and cheaper than what’s available today.
“Jio promised and delivered digital everywhere and for every Indian. Similarly, Reliance Intelligence promises to deliver AI everywhere for every Indian,” Ambani said as he wrapped up his speech at Reliance AGM 2025.
That’s a big promise. But if anyone in India has the resources and track record to pull it off, it’s probably Mukesh Ambani.
