Jio’s MyJio App Grants Free ₹35,100 AI Suite via Google to Select Users

India’s digital landscape took a (very) visible leap today: MyJio — the flagship app of Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd. — is now the gateway for eligible users to claim a premium suite of AI-tools from Google LLC valued at roughly ₹35,100. The offer covers 18 months and includes access to advanced models like Gemini 2.5 Pro, image/video generation tools, and cloud storage. With this bundle accessible directly via the MyJio app, the move signals Jio’s push beyond connectivity into intelligence services. The deal mostly impacts young, 5G-enabled Jio users now — but the implications extend far wider for India’s tech ecosystem.

Telecom operators globally are racing to add value beyond mere data speeds. In India especially, 5G is becoming a platform for differentiated services rather than a standalone offering. Jio, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries, already has deep reach in mobile, broadband, and digital services.

Google, for its part, has been rolling out its “Gemini” line of AI models internationally — and the India story needed a scale partner. The partnership announced today underscores both a strategic move into AI-services for Jio and a chance for Google to rapidly expand footprint in one of the world’s largest mobile markets.

Rumours of the tie-up had circulated over the past few weeks, especially as Jio seemed to push more AI-centric marketing around its MyJio app. The official announcement now clarifies the details.

What Happened

• Jio and Google have announced that eligible users of MyJio can activate the free bundle via the app.
• The bundle includes Google’s AI Pro plan with Gemini 2.5 Pro model, image/video generation tools such as “Nano Banana” and “Veo 3.1”, expanded Notebook LM access, and 2 TB of cloud storage across Google services — aggregated value ~ ₹35,100.
• Initial rollout will prioritise Jio Unlimited 5G plan users aged 18-25 years. Future rollout will extend to all eligible Jio users.
• Activation is done through MyJio; users must stay on an eligible unlimited 5G plan to qualify.

Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, said the collaboration aims to make India “not just AI-enabled but AI-empowered”.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, called the tie-up a significant step toward “bringing our most powerful AI tools in the hands of consumers, businesses and India’s developer community.”

Analysts note that telecom players bundling AI services with connectivity could mark the start of a new value-stack battle:

“This move positions Jio as more than a connectivity provider — it becomes a gateway to advanced services.”

Additionally, the retention challenge is real: after the free period ends, converting users to paid AI subscriptions will be key

Implications

For consumers: If you’re a young Jio 5G user, this could mean premium AI tools at no extra cost — boosting your productivity, content creation, or study workflow.

For Jio:

It strengthens its competitive moat by aligning with Google, giving it a high-value differentiator in the crowded Indian telecom market.

For the industry:

Other telecom players may be pressured to launch similar AI-bundles; this deal could trigger a wave of “connectivity + AI services” as a standard offering.

For Google:

This is a strategic platform for scale in India, exposing its AI stack to millions via an ecosystem partner rather than direct-to-consumer alone.

What’s Next

In the short run, users aged 18-25 on Jio’s unlimited 5G plans should watch the MyJio app for activation banners. Over the next few months, rollout will expand to more age-groups and plan-tiers.

Mid-term: Post 18-month free window, conversion strategies will matter — will users pay to continue Gemini Pro services via Jio or Google directly?

Long-term: The real shift may be how telecom, cloud, and AI merge in the Indian market — Jio + Google could pave the way for AI-first networks and smart-services.

At first glance it’s an offer for a demographic slice of Jio’s users. But dig deeper and this tie-up between MyJio and Google could mark a turning point: telecom players offering intelligence, not just connectivity. If executed well, consumers get powerful AI tools, Jio reinforces its digital ecosystem, and Google taps India’s massive reach. All told — expect the “mobile plan” to start looking a lot like an “AI-service bundle”. Stay tuned.
