At the International Telecommunication Union - World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (ITU WTSA), Akash Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm, discussed the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in making India a global hub for manufacturing and services. He emphasized the importance of AI in achieving the vision of a developed India by 2047.
Ambani said, "With Artificial Intelligence, India has the potential to completely transform the manufacturing centres, including SMEs, so that India becomes a new-age factory and new-age service centre for the world. Therefore, India should urgently embrace AI with a holistic strategy driven by maximum Atma Nirbhar efforts."
During his speech, Ambani expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his leadership, acknowledging the significant growth of the India Mobile Congress as a platform for digital innovation and collaboration.
He noted the rapid digital transformation occurring in the country, saying, "In Modi's India, there's no more business as usual. Rather, there's unusual synergy between government and industry to deliver world-class services to satisfy the needs and expectations of 1.45 billion Indians." He also recognized Modi's connection with the youth, inspiring them to pursue ambitious goals, quoting, "As we say in Hindi, 'Modi hai toh mumkin hai.'"
Ambani praised India's telecommunications advancements, stating, "The world is in awe of a nation that, crawling at 2G speed only eight years ago, is now galloping down the 5G highway." He assured the Prime Minister that India would excel in 6G technology, noting, "From a nation that ranked a lowly 155th in mobile broadband adoption, we have risen to become the world's largest data market."
The Reliance Jio Chairman highlighted the inclusivity of India's digital transformation, stating, "Modiji has ensured that innovation leads to more inclusion. He has democratized digital technology and used it as a tool to take the benefits to the last mile, leaving no one behind." He mentioned that through the PM's Jan-Dhan Yojana, India incorporated 530 million previously 'unbanked' individuals into its financial system.
Ambani made two key suggestions to the Prime Minister during his address. First, he urged for immediate action to adopt AI as "the most revolutionary tool of transformation invented by the human mind." Second, he called for updates to the 2020 draft of the data centre policy to ensure that Indian data remains within the country.
He said, "Indian mobile companies, along with the thriving ecosystem, are in a position to offer solutions to the rest of the world, including developed nations."
Ambani also highlighted the need for accelerated talent generation to position India as a global leader in AI. He noted that while some existing jobs will evolve, new opportunities for employment will emerge, akin to the rapid entrepreneurial growth seen during the adoption of computers and the Internet.
In conclusion, he stated, "It is our promise not only that India will lead the charge in mobile innovation, but we will fully embrace the power of AI to create a connected, intelligent future that is truly transformative for every Indian."
