Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio Infocomm has forged an alliance with IIT Bombay for the ‘Bharat GPT’ initiative, according to revelations made by the company’s chairman, Akash Ambani. This collaboration, rooted in a partnership established in 2014, underscores a concerted effort to propel technological advancements.
At IIT Bombay’s annual Techfest, Ambani unveiled the company’s visionary roadmap, painting a picture of a far-reaching “ecosystem of development” and signalling the imminent advent of “Jio 2.0.” by leveraging large language models and generative AI, as indicated by Ambani.
This comes after Reliance had announced its partnership with NVIDIA in September for advancing AI india. This was for developing LLMs and nurturing India’s generative AI applications. Further, NVIDIA said that it will provide access to Reliance with GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip and NVIDIA DGX Cloud for exceptional performance.
Foreseeing a paradigm shift catalysed by AI across diverse industries, Ambani outlined plans to integrate AI both vertically within the organisation and horizontally across multiple sectors. The announcement also hinted at the prospect of introducing an operating system tailored for televisions, providing a glimpse into the multifaceted nature of the forthcoming technological innovations.
The expansion blueprint for Reliance Jio encompasses the introduction of novel offerings in media, communication, commerce, and devices, reflecting a comprehensive strategy to diversify and enhance its portfolio. Ambani expressed unwavering confidence in the transformative potential of 5G private networks, envisaging a future where enterprises of all scales can harness the capabilities of a 5G stack.
In underlining India’s potential as a forthcoming “innovation centre,” Ambani projected a lofty ambition of achieving a $6 trillion economy status by the close of the decade. He reiterated the ubiquitous role of AI in shaping society and industries, emphasising Jio’s commitment to national development, with monetary gains deemed a “byproduct” rather than the primary objective.
In a compelling call to action, Ambani urged young entrepreneurs to embrace risk-taking and actively contribute to societal well-being, underscoring the company’s ethos of aligning its pursuits with the broader national interest.
Interestingly, there is another BharatGPT created by CoRover already in the market which is also doing exactly the same thing, and is also planning to launch chatbot soon in partnership with Google Cloud.
