Reliance Industries has announced a US$100 million joint venture with social media juggernaut Meta to develop AI solutions for enterprises in India and select international markets.

Under the JV agreement, Reliance and Meta have jointly committed to an initial investment of about US$100 million to capitalise the JV in ratio of 70% and 30% respectively.

The JV will be powered by Meta’s open‑source Llama models, offering Enterprise AI Platform‑as‑a‑Service and a suite of pre‑configured AI solutions designed to address both cross‑functional and industry‑specific use cases.

Reliance says the partnership combines Meta’s open‑source Llama models with Reliance’s digital backbone to deliver enterprise‑grade AI at affordable price points for Indian enterprises and SMBs.

"The JV will be able to deploy AI solutions at-scale given “Enterprise Grade” readiness of Llama - which has been proven across several production environments," Reliance says.

"Meta will draw upon its Llama engineering knowledge; Reliance will bring its reach to thousands of enterprises and SMBs in India and product delivery capabilities."

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.

“Partnering with Meta brings our vision of providing AI to every Indian and enterprise to life - by combining Meta’s most widely adopted open‑source Llama models with our deep expertise across multiple industries," Shri Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited, said.

"We will democratise enterprise‑grade AI for every Indian organisation - from ambitious SMBs to blue‑chip corporates, enabling them to innovate faster, operate more efficiently, and compete confidently on the global stage.

"Reliance will also serve as a real‑world enterprise‑scale environment for deploying and refining the joint venture’s offerings - enabling rapid iteration and continuous improvement at scale.”

Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO, Meta, said the JV is putting Meta’s Llama models into real-world use, and he's looking forward to Meta expanding its footprint in the enterprise space.

“We’re excited to deepen our partnership with Reliance to bring the power of open‑source AI to Indian developers and enterprises,” Zuckerberg said.
