Talent abounds, but compute power lags—Jio Intelligence counters with self-reliant foundations through three bold strides.
Initiative one: Multi-gigawatt data centers rising in Jamnagar, first 120 MW+ phase live by late 2026, enabling gigascale AI compute.
Initiative two: 10 GW extra solar capacity in Kutch and Andhra Pradesh for clean AI fueling.
Initiative three: Jio-synced edge computing nationwide, slashing latency and costs for localized intelligence.
Ambani’s vision catapults India into deep-tech forefront, democratizing AI for agriculture, small biz, informal sectors—not just tycoons. It’s about turbocharging productivity.
