New Delhi, 29th August, 2025.
Today, we are announcing our intent to form a strategic joint venture (JV) with Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), aimed at developing enterprise AI solutions built on Llama for Indian enterprises.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, Meta, “We’re excited to deepen our partnership with Reliance to bring the power of open‑source AI to Indian developers and enterprises. Through this joint venture, we’re putting Meta’s Llama models into real-world use, and I’m looking forward to Meta expanding its footprint in the enterprise space as we unlock new possibilities together.”
A Vision for AI Empowerment
At the core of this partnership is Meta's unwavering commitment to
India and its shared mission with Reliance to democratize AI technology. The JV
will aim to leverage Meta’s open-source Llama models to create AI solutions
tailored for specific business needs in areas like sales, marketing, IT,
customer service, finance, and more. The JV will introduce a secure full-stack
environment for organizations to customize and deploy generative AI
applications and offer a suite of pre‑configured AI solutions designed to address
both cross‑functional and industry‑specific use cases
The collaboration with RIL, a leader in digital infrastructure, brings
AI benefits closer to Indian enterprises. By seamlessly integrating Meta's
Llama models with RIL's strong digital foundation, the JV will be able to scale
high performance models at a fraction of a cost. Jio's extensive connectivity
network and RIL's advanced AI data centers will be pivotal in lowering
inference costs and ensuring secure, low-latency AI deployments. Additionally,
the JV will have the flexibility to deploy solutions over the cloud,
on-premise, and across its own infrastructure, allowing for efficient
management of infrastructure costs.
A Shared Commitment to Innovation
Meta's ongoing
improvements to its models will facilitate a smooth shift from research to
real-world application, bringing top-tier AI technology to Indian businesses.
This collaboration goes beyond technology; it is focused on fostering
innovation and growth across various industries, particularly India’s
flourishing small businesses. With lower entry costs for advanced AI tools,
SMBs and startups could more readily adopt AI-driven solutions, leveling the
competitive landscape and enabling them to innovate faster.
Through this strategic partnership, Meta is not only advancing AI
technology but also paving the way for a new era of innovation and growth in
India.
