2025-06-26
RIL, which operates across digital (Jio), petrochemicals, energy, retail, and media, is positioning itself for a technology-driven future that generates national wealth and innovation-led growth.
Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) Chairman Mukesh Ambani has outlined a bold new vision for the conglomerate, aiming to transform it into India’s leading deep-tech and advanced manufacturing giant. In a recent interview with McKinsey & Company, Ambani shared his strategic outlook for Reliance Vision 2025, emphasizing the company's intent to harness artificial intelligence (AI) not for hardware or GPU competition, but for downstream applications that address real-world challenges.
Ambani stated that the company’s deep-tech pivot would focus on leveraging AI-powered solutions to tackle complex societal problems, generate inclusive national wealth, and drive technological self-reliance. He stressed that Reliance aims to create innovation that empowers people and enhances quality of life, rather than engage in resource-heavy hardware development races.
The strategic shift is set against the backdrop of Reliance’s vast and diversified business portfolio, which spans Jio’s digital services, petrochemicals, energy, retail, and media & entertainment. The conglomerate plans to synergize these verticals with cutting-edge technologies to accelerate smart manufacturing, AI adoption, and next-gen product development.
Ambani’s vision includes deep-tech investments, building a sustainable innovation ecosystem, and fostering domestic manufacturing capabilities in a manner that aligns with India’s ambitions of becoming a global tech and manufacturing hub.
As the company prepares for the future, it is expected to expand its AI R&D, form global technology partnerships, and invest in new-age industries that support India’s digital transformation. This vision positions Reliance as not just a business conglomerate, but as a key enabler of India’s tech-driven growth journey toward 2025 and beyond.
