MUMBAI (Maharashtra) [India], December 30 (ANI): Reliance Industries Limited Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani on Monday unveiled an ambitious plan to transform the conglomerate into an “AI-Native Deep-Tech Company,” calling Artificial Intelligence the “most consequential technological development in human history” and urging employees to shape India’s AI-driven future.
In a manifesto addressed to over 600,000 Reliance employees and their families, Ambani noted that while the world has only seen “the tip of the iceberg” of AI’s potential, the technology already holds the power to solve some of humanity’s most complex challenges. “It is our responsibility to contribute to the shaping of that future, for India and the rest of the world,” he stated.
Ambani highlighted Reliance’s leadership in India’s digital revolution as a foundation for the AI era, declaring the group’s national objective: “Affordable AI for every Indian, to transform every aspect of the economy and life in India.” He described this mission as the SANKALP (resolve) of Reliance.
The Reliance AI Manifesto is structured in two parts. Part I focuses on transforming internal operations through AI-native ways of working, aiming for a “10x improvement in the quality and outcome of the work of 600,000+ Reliance colleagues.” Ambani stressed that AI is meant to augment employees, not replace them, and highlighted four operational pillars—Outcomes, Workflows, Platforms, and Governance—supported by AI-enabled data systems and human accountability.
Part II expands the vision to India, outlining how AI can deliver a “10x impact on India” through Reliance businesses including Jio, Reliance Retail, New Energy, Life Sciences, Financial Services, Media, and philanthropic initiatives under Reliance Foundation. Ambani cited Jio’s 500 million-plus subscribers and Reliance Retail’s position as India’s largest retailer as unique platforms to democratise AI adoption.
Concluding the manifesto, Ambani called on employees to contribute ideas to turn the vision into action. “Let us begin—together!” he said, framing the initiative as “our shared commitment… to build a New Reliance and a New India of our dreams.”
