Akash Ambani unveils JioPC: ‘Turn your TV or any screen into AI-ready computer’

Akash Ambani has been serving as the Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited since June 2022.

Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd (RJIL) chairman Akash Ambani on August 29 unveiled JioPC, a virtual desktop service that runs entirely through the cloud and works straight from its Jio set-top box.

“Today, we are proud to announce another leap forward – JioPC. JioPC is that revolutionary product that transforms your TV, or any other screen, into a full-feature, AI‑ready computer. You can easily get started by connecting a keyboard into your Jio Set-Top Box. Instantly, you get a virtual computer powered from Jio’s cloud with no upfront investment. You simply pay for what you use. And because JioPC lives in the cloud, it is always up-to-date, secure and you can remotely upgrade your memory, storage, and computing power based on your growing needs,” Ambani said at Reliance Industries’ (RIL) annual general meeting.

Ambani also announced JioFrames, an AI-powered wearable platform and ecosystem made for India. With support for multiple Indian languages, one can simply speak to Jio’s multilingual AI voice-assistant. It is a hands-free, AI-powered companion designed for the way India lives, works, and plays.

“With JioFrames, you can capture your world like never before. Take HD photos, record videos or go live – every memory is instantly stored in Jio AI Cloud,” he said.

Akash Ambani said  Jio’s journey will progress beyond India. "Our innovative technologies will now be deployed globally, ready to solve global challenges. With strategic partnerships and a clear roadmap, we will take Jio’s services to the rest of the world, creating value for partners and shareholders alike. Behind every achievement of Jio is a mission – to serve customers from the heart, to connect the unconnected, and to uplift every citizen. As we move forward, Jio remains committed to ensure that our technology empowers all of you,” he said.
