Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) has officially stepped into the fast-growing world of artificial intelligence (AI) by launching a new subsidiary called Reliance Intelligence. The move marks a bold strategic shift for India’s largest company, which already spans oil and gas, retail, and telecom.
The launch signals Reliance’s intent to be more than just an energy and telecom giant. With AI increasingly becoming central to business efficiency, data analysis, and customer services, Reliance is positioning itself to harness AI across its vast empire.
Experts say the new subsidiary could play a role in:
- Energy operations: Using AI to optimize refining and logistics.
- Telecom & Jio: Improving customer experience, automating support, and strengthening digital platforms.
- Retail: Enhancing supply chain management and consumer insights.
Market Reaction
Shares of Reliance Industries edged up slightly after the news, reflecting cautious optimism from investors. Analysts believe Reliance’s entry into AI could attract global tech partnerships and give the company an edge in digital transformation.
However, they also warn that building AI expertise will take time and heavy investment, especially when competing against global leaders like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.
Reliance has a track record of diversifying aggressively. From launching Jio in telecom to building India’s largest retail network, the company has repeatedly disrupted traditional sectors. The AI push, through Reliance Intelligence, is being seen as the next major frontier.
India’s AI market itself is booming — projected to grow at over 20% annually, reaching billions of dollars in value by 2030. Reliance’s scale, combined with AI capabilities, could make it a key player in shaping this growth story.
