When Meta and Google invested in Jio Platforms in 2020, the deals were seen as strategic bets on India’s growing digital economy. Five years later, the two technology companies have moved beyond being minority shareholders in Reliance’s digital arm. They now operate as partners in the conglomerate’s artificial intelligence push.
Meta is working with Reliance through a 70:30 enterprise-AI joint venture built around its open-source Llama models. Google, meanwhile, is partnering with Reliance to establish a dedicated cloud region in Jamnagar, powered by Reliance’s clean energy and connected through Jio’s network.
