Reliance’s digital arm Jio unveiled JioPC, a cloud-powered, AI-ready system that converts any TV or screen into a personal computer, allowing users to connect a keyboard to a Jio Set-Top Box and instantly access full computing capabilities.
JioPC runs directly from Jio’s cloud servers, removing the need for traditional desktops or laptops. Users can remotely scale storage and computing power, ensuring flexible, secure and always-updated computing for students, professionals and entrepreneurs.
At Reliance Industries 48th Annual General Meeting, Akash Ambani highlighted JioPC as a revolutionary product. He emphasised the AI-ready platform provides secure, cloud-based computing with pay-as-you-use access, allowing remote memory, storage, and processing upgrades without upfront investments.
JioPC users will gain access to a wide range of productivity and creativity applications. The platform will integrate leading software providers and AI tools, catering to the needs of students, professionals and entrepreneurs seeking advanced computing capabilities.
Akash Ambani said Reliance plans to embed artificial intelligence features into JioPC, offering users access to AI-powered productivity and creative tools. This will allow students and professionals to leverage modern AI capabilities without needing high-end hardware or costly infrastructure.
According to the company, JioPC aims to democratise computing by providing every student in India with AI-ready capabilities previously accessible only to a few. The service targets educational empowerment and equal access to advanced digital tools across the country.
For professionals and entrepreneurs, JioPC offers scalable cloud computing with secure storage, continuous updates and flexible access. This allows start-ups and small businesses to leverage high-performance computing without investing in costly hardware.
JioPC will leverage Jio’s telecom base of over 500 million subscribers and its 5G network infrastructure. This integration ensures smooth connectivity, rapid cloud access, and seamless performance for computing, AI applications, and virtual desktop services.
