NEW DELHI – Google and Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries have joined forces to offer free access to Google AI Pro for millions of Jio users across India. This partnership, announced on October 30, 2025, provides eligible subscribers with 18 months of advanced artificial intelligence tools and cloud storage. The complimentary package is valued at approximately ₹35,100 per user. ##^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]}# Advanced AI Tools Reach Millions The free Google AI Pro plan includes access to Google's powerful Gemini 2.5 Pro model through the Gemini app. Users will also gain enhanced capabilities for generating images and videos using Google's Nano Banana and Veo 3.1 models.

Th^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]}e initial rollout targets Jio 5G users aged 18 to 25 who are on eligible unlimited 5G plans. The^{[2][3][8][5][6][7]} companies plan to expand this offer rapidly to include all eligible Jio subscribers nationwide. Jio^[8][5] customers can activate this exclusive offer directly through the MyJio app. Go^{[1][3][8][5][7]}ogle CEO Sundar Pichai expressed excitement about the collaboration. "We're taking a big step to bring our best AI tools to more people across India," Pichai stated in an announcement. Rel^[1]iance Industries Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani highlighted the partnership's alignment with Reliance's "AI for All" vision. "Reliance Intelligence aims to make intelligence services accessible to 1.45 billion Indians," Ambani said. ##^[4]# India's Booming AI Market This strategic partnership positions Google to capture a significant share of India's rapidly expanding AI market. Ind^[1]ia is seen as the world's largest untapped AI market, with over 1.4 billion people and increasing smartphone adoption. The^[1] country is a critical growth market for Google, which plans to invest $15 billion over five years (2026-2030) to establish a comprehensive AI hub in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Thi^[9][10][6]s investment marks Google's largest AI infrastructure commitment outside the United States. Re^[9]liance Jio, India's largest mobile network operator, brings a massive user base to the partnership. As of October 2025, Jio Platforms reported a total subscriber base of approximately 506 million. Ove^[11]r 170 million of these subscribers are already using Jio's 5G network as of January 2025. Thi^[12]s vast reach allows Google to quickly scale AI adoption across the country. The move also intensifies competition among global tech giants vying for market dominance in India's AI landscape. OpenAI recently announced that its ChatGPT Go service would be free for Indian users for one year starting November 4. Mic^[4][6]rosoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella previously unveiled a $3 billion investment to expand the company's cloud and AI infrastructure in India, including new data centers. Ama^[4]zon Web Services (AWS) has also committed $12.7 billion through 2030 to build its cloud and AI capacity in the country. ##^[4]# Strategic Impact and Future Outlook The collaboration extends beyond consumer offerings to enterprise AI solutions. Reliance Intelligence will become a strategic partner for Google Cloud. Thi^[2]s will provide Indian organizations with greater access to Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), Google's advanced AI hardware accelerators. Thi^[2][4]s infrastructure aims to empower businesses to train larger AI models and execute complex projects more efficiently. Rel^[2][4]iance Intelligence will also drive the adoption of Gemini Enterprise, Google's unified AI platform for businesses, across Indian organizations. Th^[2]e partnership signals Google's most aggressive AI expansion move in Asia. By ^[1]offering free access for 18 months, Google aims to demonstrate value and encourage users to convert to paid subscriptions once the promotional period ends. Industry analysts expect this model to become a template for AI expansion in other emerging markets. The^[1] initiative also focuses on developing localized AI experiences that reflect India's diverse cultural and linguistic landscape. Th^[4]is alliance allows both companies to establish an early market presence ahead of India's expected AI regulation framework. By ^[1]aligning with India's largest telecom operator, Google gains a significant head start in one of the world's most crucial emerging AI markets. Thi^[1]s partnership could influence future policy discussions and accelerate India's ambition to become a global technology leader. Th^[9]e partnership between Google and Reliance Jio represents a pivotal moment for AI adoption in India. It promises to democratize access to advanced AI tools for millions, fostering innovation and driving digital transformation across the nation.
