"The Jio offer will initially reach users aged 18 to 25 before expanding to all Jio subscribers nationwide, the companies said. It includes access to Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro model via the Gemini app, higher limits for generating AI images and videos with Nano Banana and Veo 3.1, expanded use of Notebook LM for study and research, and 2 TB of cloud storage across Google Photos, Gmail, Drive, and WhatsApp backups."
"On Thursday, Google announced a partnership with Reliance, India's largest company by market capitalization, to offer its AI Pro subscription free for 18 months to eligible Jio users. The alliance comes just three months after Perplexity teamed up with Reliance's archrival Bharti Airtel, India's second-largest telecom operator, to provide free access to Perplexity Pro for Airtel's 360 million subscribers. India, the world's most populous nation and the second-largest internet market with over a billion users, has long been an irresistible target for global tech firms."
Google partnered with Reliance Industries to bundle AI Pro with Jio 5G plans at no extra cost for eligible users for 18 months. The offer initially targets users aged 18–25 before expanding to all Jio subscribers nationwide. Benefits include access to Gemini 2.5 Pro via the Gemini app, higher limits for AI image and video generation using Nano Banana and Veo 3.1, expanded use of Notebook LM for study and research, and 2 TB of cloud storage across Google Photos, Gmail, Drive, and WhatsApp backups. The 18-month package is valued at ₹35,100 (~$396). Google views India as a key market for AI deployment and model refinement. Reliance also partnered with Google Cloud to broaden access to tensor processing units.
