Jio Platforms CEO Mathew Oommen has outlined a bold vision for India’s transition into an “intelligence economy,” where artificial intelligence becomes the core driver of growth.
Speaking at an industry event, Oommen emphasised that India’s strong policy framework, leadership, and young population position it uniquely to lead this next phase of global economic transformation.
He highlighted that the future will move beyond traditional telecom services, with companies evolving from connectivity providers to builders of intelligence infrastructure powered by AI, tokens, and distributed systems.
According to Oommen, India must not just scale existing technologies but create new digital platforms, similar to how the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) revolutionised payments, laying the foundation for global innovation.
With initiatives like Jio AI Platform, Jio Brain, and JioAICloud, the company is already positioning itself at the forefront of this shift, aiming to build scalable, open, and sovereign digital infrastructure for the AI era.
As AI becomes the “new currency,” Oommen stressed that nations leading in intelligence systems, not just computing power, will shape the future global economy.
