Reliance AGM Tech Announcement: Reliance made several major announcements at its 49th Annual General Meeting . These included some major tech-related announcements. Like every event, AI was a key focus. Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani said that India should not remain a mere consumer of foreign-made AI. India should become an AI creator and a global leader. If we look at the major announcements of this event, Reliance's media and entertainment division, JioStar, announced a new GenAI Studio. Apart from this, work on AI-powered call agents, satellite internet, and AI in Indian languages for the people of India was also announced. Let's take a look at the major tech announcements made in this meeting.
India's AI backbone is being built in Jamnagar - Jio Chairman Akash Ambani stated that Reliance Industries is building India's sovereign AI backbone in Jamnagar. This infrastructure will be powered by Reliance's own solar energy, and the first 120 MW of capacity is planned to be operational by the end of this year. Upon full commissioning, this capacity could grow to over 200,000 H100-equivalent GPUs.
AI Studio for Content Production - At the Reliance AGM, the company revealed JioStar GenAI Media Studio (JAMS). This is an AI-powered platform that will handle the entire process of content production, from ideation to image, video, and final production. Announcing the platform, Jio Chairman Akash Ambani said that it was created to nurture a new generation of content technologists who want to combine storytelling with AI to produce premium content.
New Platform for AI Agents - Reliance also introduced the new Jio Teleframe. This is a voice-first agentic AI system that will serve as a hub for controlling agents used for entertainment, shopping, and connected home devices. It is accessible in every Indian language.
AI-Powered Call Agent - Akash Ambani also announced an AI-powered call agent. This is a native voice assistant that will be integrated into the Jio network. It doesn't require an app or a dedicated phone number and will work in all Indian languages. With user permission, it can join calls and transcribe them in real time. It can recognize up to 10 speakers in conference calls and share meeting notes with other participants. Other features include cab booking, food ordering, table reservations, and meeting scheduling while attending calls. This feature is expected to be rolled out by the end of this year.
Efforts to make AI accessible - Akash Ambani also stated that Jio is developing AI in Indian languages so that more people can use it. He added that Reliance is building AI for India, which will one day serve the entire world. Work is also underway to make AI affordable by the end of this decade.
AI for everyone, from students to farmers - Reliance Intelligence is preparing to offer reliable, affordable, and multilingual AI services in 22 Indian languages, including services like JioBharatIQ, AI Vyapar, JioHealthIQ, JioLearnIQ, and JioKrishiIQ. These services are being implemented to make AI useful for farmers, students, shopkeepers, families, and small businesses.
Satellite internet is also under scrutiny.
Jio is also eyeing satellite internet and sees it as the next step in its growth. Mukesh Ambani stated in his address that Jio is exploring the potential of satellite connectivity. Jio has connected India on the ground. Now, it is working on how to connect India from the sky.
The multi-frame viewing feature will be available on JioHotstar.

While simultaneously viewing multiple frames, you can choose the audio of any frame you choose. JioHostar's monthly active users have surpassed 450 million, while the short-video platform Tadka has also garnered over 100 million viewers within two months.
