In order to create that in the flywheel is one of the greatest advantages that India has which is a very large population of users."
Mukesh Ambani, Managing Director of Reliance Industries expressed confidence in India's capabilities, stating, "India will be one of the biggest intelligence markets. It is not only our aspirations, but I think it is just the raw gene pool and the row gene power that exists in India, the youth power that exists in India that drives intelligence and hopefully, once we drive intelligence for our domestic markets, we will use intelligent services beyond software to integrate with the rest of the world.
He added, "And Indians now will not only export CEOs to the world's largest companies but hundreds of millions of Indians. And hundreds of millions will deliver AI services to help a better world."

"India is fast becoming an innovation hub for the world in terms of where we are and not the manufacturing hub," Ambani stated.
Highlighted India's robust digital infrastructure, Ambani said, "What we have also have is the necessary infrastructure and we have been fortunate that we have the connectivity infrastructure which is equivalent to the roads.
