Recently, Reliance Jio collaborated with NVIDIA for the use of GH200 GPUs to build AI models in India. During his visit to India last year, NVIDIA head Jensen Huang was optimistic about Reliance building its own LLMs that power generative AI applications made in India. However, no significant announcements have been made so far.
India awaits…
For now, Reliance Jio is keeping its AI developments under wraps, with no public disclosures yet. “Reliance wants to revolutionise the enterprise space with the use of AI… There is a centre of excellence with 100 experts working on AI solutions. Mukesh believes it is going to be transformative,” said Reliance New Energy Council chairman R A Mashelkar.?
Meanwhile, Jio recently launched Jio Brain, positioned as the industry’s first 5G-integrated ML platform. It aims to empower telecom networks, enterprise networks, and industry-specific IT environments to incorporate ML tools into their day-to-day operations seamlessly.
TWO, a startup backed by Reliance Jio, also recently launched a family of models called SUTRA. These cost-efficient, multilingual GenAI models excel in 50+ languages, offering speech, search, and visual processing capabilities.?
JioGenNext, the renowned startup accelerator, introduced its latest cohort, MAP’ 24, consisting of 10 dynamic generative AI startups spanning diverse sectors such as healthcare, banking, legal services, entertainment, and agriculture.
Earlier this year, Jio partnered with IIT Bombay to bring about initiatives like BharatGPT, which focuses on developing AI solutions for several sectors like telecom and retail. However, there have been no significant revelations yet.?
Adani AI Labs, an initiative by the Adani Group aimed at using AI to tackle large-scale industrial problems, is also working on exciting AI projects and bringing them to the masses. However, it has yet to reveal significant breakthroughs in releasing foundational models and frameworks.?
Have faith?
India is not left behind. Other big giants like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCLTech, and LTIMindtree seem focused on enterprise solutions, upskilling and reskilling, besides experimenting with real use cases.?
Last year, Tech Mahindra became the first IT giant to launch a Generative AI Studio. The IT solutions provider introduced TechM amplifAI0->∞, a comprehensive suite of AI offerings and solutions aimed at democratising and responsibly scaling AI deployment.
It is also working on an indigenous LLM called Project Indus. The model will be available in 40 Indic languages, most notably Hindi.
Another prominent initiative taking wings in India is AI4Bharat, which started as a collaboration between IIT Madras and Nandan Nilekani’s EkStep Foundation. It is sponsored by Bhashini, Microsoft, Google, and NVIDIA and its contribution to the Indic open-source AI community has been tremendous.?
But the problem is, it is the only prominent one in the country so far. That’s why India needs more AI4Bharats, which calls for more industry and academia collaboration.?
How much longer?
The US currently boasts major tech companies such as Microsoft, Apple, NVIDIA, and Google, along with startups like OpenAI, spearheading AI advancements. China is close behind with giants like Alibaba and Tencent, as well as emerging players such as 01.AI, leading the charge. What about India?
“We need someone to engage as a frontline player in this space actively. Someone who has the resources to start from scratch; not relying on existing solutions but creating foundational models,” Stition.ai founder and Devika’s creator Mufeed VH told AIM in the latest episode of Tech Talks.
Further, he said that Indian companies can either sponsor or utilise their resources for these initiatives, yet no one has taken the lead. “However, I am optimistic that India will develop a foundational model by the end of this year,” he said.

6 个月I remember an investor using this "Jio moment of India in AI" phrase extensively after funding millions to an Indian AI startup. Even OpenAI/Anthropic investors refrain from ultra-hyped marketing. Jio moment will come, but who will lead it depends on how strong the product is and cost per use, very hard to compete against Meta, Google, and OpenAI in almost every possible direction.
