RIL's new AI arm, Reliance Intelligence, begins operations

Mumbai: Reliance Industries (RIL) has begun operationalising its new AI subsidiary Reliance Intelligence, which will be led by Gaurav Aggarwal, chief AI scientist at Reliance Jio. The unit has started hiring AI/ML engineers for Indic-language model development and new product incubation.

"At Reliance Intelligence, we're assembling a team that can push what is technically possible in India's AI ecosystem," Aggarwal said in similar posts on X and LinkedIN last week. "If you've worked on training pipelines, distributed systems, model optimisation, or deep learning research, and want to operate at national scale -this is an opportunity to build something meaningful."

A former AI researcher with stints at Google DeepMind and IBM, Aggarwal assumed his current role in Jio in May 2024. He has also headed data science and AI teams at Ola and Snapdeal previously.


Incorporated in September 2025, Reliance Intelligence is a wholly owned unit of RIL housing its AI partnerships with global technology firms such as Google and Meta, besides executing its data centre plans. The group is building a gigawatt-scale AI-ready data centre in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
