Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, has called for India to become the world leader in artificial intelligence (AI) by pioneering a unique development model that integrates intelligence with empathy and purpose-driven prosperity. Speaking at the launch event of eminent scientist Dr. Raghunath Mashelkar’s book and on International Human Solidarity Day, Ambani highlighted the transformative potential of AI combined with compassion to create inclusive growth and innovation.

Ambani underscored that AI should not be seen solely as a tool for efficiency and economic gain but should also emphasize empathy, compassion, and societal well-being. According to him, this approach could offer India a new model of development that balances technological progress with human values. Drawing on the success of Reliance Jio in digitally mainstreaming India despite early skepticism, he expressed confidence in India’s ability to lead the AI revolution globally.

By adopting this empathetic model, India can position itself not just as a technology leader but as a pioneer in responsible AI deployment, fostering prosperity that is inclusive and purpose-driven. Such leadership, Ambani suggested, has the potential to inspire global development strategies in the rapidly evolving AI era, presenting India as a visionary force in combining innovation with humanity. This vision aligns with broader efforts within India to intertwine technology advancements with societal impact, signaling a strategic path forward for the country’s AI ambitions.
