NVIDIA and Reliance Industries today announced a partnership to construct India’s own foundation big language model trained on the country’s different languages and specialised for generative AI applications to serve the most populous country in the world, marking a significant step towards supporting India’s industrial sector.
AI infrastructure
Together, the businesses will create AI infrastructure that is over an order of magnitude more potent than the current fastest supercomputer in India. Access to the most cutting-edge NVIDIA® GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip and NVIDIA DGXTM Cloud, a cloud service for AI supercomputing, will be made available by NVIDIA. The revolutionary change in computer architecture represented by the GH200 offers outstanding performance and enormous memory bandwidth.
The Reliance Jio Infocomm, the telecom division of Reliance Industries, a new frontier into AI is built on NVIDIA-powered AI infrastructure. Industry and day-to-day living are being transformed by the global AI revolution. Reliance will build AI applications and services for its 450 million Jio subscribers as well as offer energy-efficient AI infrastructure to researchers, developers, and startups across India in order to serve India’s enormous potential in AI.
AI assistance
AI can assist rural farmers in interacting with one another via cell phones in their native tongue to obtain meteorological data and crop pricing. Where doctors might not be readily available, it can help give, on a large scale, expert diagnosis of medical symptoms and imaging scans. Using decades’ worth of atmospheric data, AI can more accurately predict cyclonic storms, allowing individuals at risk to seek refuge and flee.

The AI infrastructure will be housed in data centres with AI-ready computing that can scale to 2,000 MW. Jio, which has a wide range of services and experience in mobile telephony, 5G spectrum, fibre networks, and other areas, will be in charge of execution and implementation.
Collaboration with Reliance
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said, “We are excited to join with Reliance to create cutting-edge AI supercomputers in India. “India has talent, scale, and data. Reliance can develop its own huge language models that power generative AI applications built in India, for the people of India, using the most cutting-edge AI computing infrastructure.
Jio possesses the infrastructure, engineering skills, and wide-ranging experience needed to implement and maintain the new AI computer platform. The partnership with NVIDIA is also in line with the company’s ambition to act as a significant, comprehensive digital, cloud, and networking platform for both consumers and corporate clients.
“Computing and technology super centres like the one we envision with NVIDIA will provide the catalytic growth just like Jio did to our nation’s digital march,” said Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries. “As India advances from a country of data proliferation to creating technology infrastructure for widespread and accelerated growth.” “I am thrilled about the partnership with NVIDIA and am looking forward to a meaningful journey with them,” said the speaker.
