At the AI Impact Summit, Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, made a bold prediction: India will emerge as one of the world’s greatest AI powers in the 21st century. He cited India’s unmatched strengths in demography, democracy, digital infrastructure and data generation. With nearly a billion internet users, the world’s largest mobile data consumption, 1.4 billion Aadhaar digital IDs and over 12 billion monthly UPI transactions, Ambani said India’s digital foundation is unparalleled. He also highlighted India’s thriving startup ecosystem with over 100,000 startups and 100+ unicorns. Ambani added that Jio, with 500 million subscribers, will play an even bigger role in accelerating India’s AI transformation.
