The 8th edition of India Mobile Congress (IMC) kicked off on October 15th, marking the beginning of a four-day extravaganza filled with innovative discussions.
Akash Ambani, chairman of Reliance Jio took center stage during the event, presenting two vital demands to the government that could shape the future of AI and data storage in India.
At the prestigious India Mobile Congress 2024, Mukesh Ambani’s elder son expressed his aspirations for the Indian tech ecosystem. Firstly, he urged the government to prioritize self-reliance in Artificial Intelligence (AI) by establishing state-of-the-art data centres across the country.
With the exponential growth of data generation in India, Ambani emphasized the dire need for AI and machine learning centres to support this data influx effectively.
Secondly, Ambani advocated for an updated Data Center Policy to keep pace with the rapidly evolving technology sector.
As the head of Jio, one of India's leading telecom companies, Akash Ambani assured that Jio would not only drive mobile innovation in the country but also harness the power of AI for a more connected and intelligent future.
This strategic move can create a wave of new employment opportunities, akin to the transformative impact of the computer and internet revolution.
Other telecom giants such as Airtel and Vi also pointed out the role of AI in shaping the future of telecommunications. Airtel's Chairman, Sunil Bharti Mittal, spoke about the company's commitment to ensuring secure communication for users.
Likewise, Kumar Mangalam Birla, the Chairman of Vodafone-Idea, expressed eagerness to collaborate with the government in leveraging AI for various initiatives, given the industry's readiness to embrace cutting-edge technologies for the benefit of all stakeholders.
During his address, Akash Ambani commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his visionary leadership and unwavering support in fostering a conducive environment for start-ups and tech companies in India.
