|October 31, 2025
RELIANCE INDUSTRIES (RIL) and Google on Thursday entered into a partnership to accelerate the use of artificial intelligence across consumer and enterprise segments in India.
The move comes amid a series of alliances between telecom & technology firms and global AI players seeking to widen access to advanced AI tools in the country.
Bharti Airtel was the first to start the trend when it partnered Perplexity in July to offer free one-year access to Perplexity Pro, worth 17,000 to its entire customer base.
On Tuesday, OpenAI on a standalone basis, announced a one-year free access plan for its new ChatGPT Go, which was earlier priced at a concessional 399 a month, in India.
Under the RelianceGoogle agreement, eligible Jio users will get free access to Google's AI Pro plan for 18 months, a package valued at ₹35,100 per user.
