Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), through Reliance Intelligence Limited, and Google today announced an expansive strategic partnership to accelerate the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across India — empowering consumers, enterprises, and developers in line with Reliance’s AI for All vision.

This collaboration brings together Reliance’s unmatched scale, connectivity, and ecosystem reach with Google’s world-class AI technology. Together, these initiatives aim to democratise access to AI and strengthen the digital foundation for India’s AI-driven future.

Google, in partnership with Reliance Intelligence, will begin rolling out Google’s AI Pro plan with the latest version of Google Gemini to eligible Jio users free of charge for 18 months. This offer includes higher access to Google’s most capable Gemini 2.5 Pro model in the Gemini app, higher limits to generate stunning images and videos with their state-of-the-art Nano Banana and Veo 3.1 models, expanded access to Notebook LM for study and research, 2 TB of cloud storage and more. This 18-month offer is worth ₹35,100.

Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Industries Limited, said, “Reliance Intelligence aims to make intelligence services accessible to 1.45 billion Indians. Through our collaboration with strategic and long-term partners like Google, we aim to make India not just AI-enabled but AI-empowered - where every citizen and enterprise can harness intelligent tools to create, innovate and grow.”

Eligible Jio users can easily activate this offer in the MyJio app. Reflecting Jio’s commitment to empowering India’s youth, the rollout will commence with early access for 18- to 25-year-old users on unlimited 5G plans and will swiftly expand to include every Jio customer nationwide as quickly as possible.

This partnership will also explore bringing more delightful local experiences powered by AI to Jio users, catering to India’s rich cultural and linguistic diversity.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, said, "Reliance is a longstanding partner in Google’s goal of advancing India’s digital future – together we’ve brought affordable internet access and smartphones to millions. Now, we are bringing this collaboration into the AI era. Today’s announcement will put Google’s cutting-edge AI tools in the hands of consumers, businesses, and India’s vibrant developer community. I’m excited for how this partnership will help expand access to AI across India."

This expanded collaboration also establishes Reliance Intelligence as a strategic go-to-market partner for Google Cloud, driving the adoption of Gemini Enterprise across Indian organisations.

Gemini Enterprise is a next-generation, unified agentic AI platform for businesses that brings the best of Google AI to every employee, for every workflow. It empowers teams to discover, create, share, and run AI agents—all in one secure environment.

Reliance Intelligence will also develop and offer its own pre-built enterprise AI agents in Gemini Enterprise, expanding the available choice of both Google-built and third-party agents to users.
