Despite its potential, India has contributed only a small share to OpenAI's revenue, largely due to its price-sensitive consumer base.

While Meta and OpenAI have not commented on the discussions, Reliance's plans signal a significant shift in the AI landscape in India.

Details regarding the specific nature of the alliance between Reliance, OpenAI, and Meta, including areas of focus or investment amounts, have not been disclosed.

Reliance Industries is set to build a massive three-gigawatt data center in Jamnagar, Gujarat, which will be the largest in the world and significantly enhance India's AI infrastructure.

This expansion aligns with similar initiatives by other tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, all aiming to strengthen their presence in India's burgeoning tech ecosystem.

As part of its strategy, Reliance is in discussions with OpenAI and Meta to enhance their AI presence in India, potentially involving a partnership for distributing ChatGPT.

The new data center will serve as a local hub for running AI models, ensuring compliance with India's data privacy regulations.

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman has highlighted India as the company's second-largest market, reporting a tripling of its user base in the past year.

Reliance Jio aims to host OpenAI models locally and sell them to enterprise users through an API, which could lead to a substantial reduction in the ChatGPT subscription price by 75-85% from the current $20 model.

This facility is expected to utilize advanced infrastructure resources, enhancing the efficiency of AI models hosted by OpenAI and Meta.

To support this ambitious project, Reliance is collaborating with Nvidia to acquire AI semiconductors, following a partnership established during Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's visit to India.

Discussions have also included data localization mandates that require foreign AI firms to store Indian user data domestically, addressing security and privacy concerns.
