Reliance Jio Infocomm, an Indian telecom operator in India, is set to launch a groundbreaking initiative in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay — the ‘Bharat GPT’ program. Announced by Akash Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Jio, this program aims to leverage the power of large language models and generative artificial intelligence (GPT) to transform various sectors in the country.

The Bharat GPT program is part of Jio’s broader vision, known as “Jio 2.0,” which focuses on creating a comprehensive ecosystem of development.

He highlighted the ongoing efforts to integrate AI not only as a vertical within the organization but also horizontally across all sectors.

In addition to the Bharat GPT program, Ambani revealed that Reliance Jio is working on developing its own operating system (OS) for televisions. This operating system is envisioned to enhance the user experience on Jio’s devices and contribute to the company’s ecosystem of services.

As part of his address, Ambani described India as the “biggest innovation center” for the next decade, expressing confidence in the country’s potential to become a USD 6 trillion economy by the end of the decade. He underscored the inclusive nature of artificial intelligence, referring to it not only as artificial intelligence but also as “all included.”
