Disruption is an opportunity to reimagine; Mukesh Ambani says it is India’s decade

Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director, Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) said the global industries are living through a once-in-a-generation transformation and he doesn’t see this as a period of disruption, but as a period of possibilities. In RIL’s FY26 annual report, he said, the boundaries between industries, technologies, and nations are being fundamentally redrawn.

“Global supply chains are being reconfigured. The energy transition is accelerating. The exponential rise of data and artificial intelligence is reshaping the architecture of the modern world," he said.

He doesn’t see this period as one of disruption, but of possibility. “An opportunity to reimagine industries, create new engines of growth, and contribute to India’s emergence as a developed nation,” he said.

This is India’s decade—not by chance, but by choice and conviction, he added.

Ambani also detailed why he founded Reliance Intelligence—the new company under RIL. It was instituted with a singular vision to ensure that the power of artificial intelligence is not concentrated, but democratised.

“We aspire to create sovereign AI capabilities that are designed in India, scaled in India, and made accessible to every Indian—empowering individuals, enterprises, and institutions alike,” he said.

He wants to position Jio at the forefront of the global digital revolution—driving innovation across connectivity, artificial intelligence, cloud, and digital services. 

The renewable venture at Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex in Jamnagar, Gujarat is to enable India’s transition towards clean, secure, and affordable energy at scale. “We are building integrated capabilities across Solar PV manufacturing, energy storage, and green energy infrastructure to help India achieve energy independence,” he said.

“With Reliance Consumer Products and Reliance Retail, we are strengthening domestic manufacturing, empowering Indian brands, and redefining how India consumes,” he added.

He also said that the Oil-to-Chemicals business is transforming towards higher-value materials and futureready applications—ensuring it remains competitive in a world that is transitioning to new forms of energy.

RIL has become the first Indian company to cross $10 billion in annual net profit In FY26. The company has a market capitalisation of ₹18.26 lakh crore.
