Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio-OpenAI partnership in the making? ChatGPT subscription price cut on the cards
Reliance Jio-OpenAI Partnership: Billionaire Mukesh Ambani could soon be introducing OpenAI’s ChatGPT at a cheaper price in India. If latest reports are to be believed, Ambani-led Reliance Industries could join hands with Sam Altman’s OpenAI to expand its artificial intelligence offering in India.
Currently, online AI chatbot ChatGPT Plus costs around Rs 1,950 ($20) per month in India, while the new premium tier, ChatGPT Pro, is priced at $200 per month (around Rs 16,950).
Reliance Jio-OpenAI Partnership
Both OpenAI and Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta Platforms are learnt to have held separate discussions with Ambani-led RIL over potential partnerships to expand their artificial intelligence offerings in the country, news agency Reuters reported citing technology news website The Information.
What transpired included the possibility of a relationship between Reliance Jio and OpenAI to distribute ChatGPT, according to The Information, which cited two sources familiar with the matter. Further, the Altman-led AI major also mulled over cutting the ChatGPT subscription price to as low as several dollars.
However, there is no clarity on if OpenAI had discussed the idea of price reduction with Reliance Industries.
The report added that RIL has discussed selling OpenAI’s models to its enterprise customers through an application programming interface or API. Further, the Ambani-led conglomerate also talked about hosting and running OpenAI models locally, so the data of local customers can be kept within India.
Moreover, RIL also discussed operating the Meta and OpenAI models in a 3-gigawatt data center that the company is planning to build. It is said to be the largest data center in the world, located in the city of Jamnagar in Gujarat.

India’s richest billionaire Ambani is eyeing developing the world’s largest data center in Gujarat’s Jamnagar, Bloomberg News had reported earlier this year. For this, Ambani is said to be purchasing AI semiconductors from NVIDIA, one of the leading global companies in AI technology.
