Reliance Jio has taken a bold leap into cloud computing with the launch of JioPC, an AI-powered cloud computer designed to offer affordable, high-performance computing for every Indian household and business. The device, unveiled with much anticipation, aims to transform how users access computing power, store data, and use AI capabilities—all without needing expensive hardware.
What is JioPC?
JioPC is a cloud-based desktop solution that connects to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, but all the processing is done in the cloud. Users get access to a full computing environment powered by Jio’s AI cloud infrastructure, reducing the need for heavy local hardware.
This innovation aligns with Reliance’s larger digital strategy of democratizing access to advanced technology through affordable pricing and mass-scale adoption.
Plans and Pricing
JioPC is available through subscription-based plans, starting at a highly competitive price (yet to be officially confirmed). The subscription includes:
- Access to virtual desktops
- Cloud storage
- JioAI-powered tools
- Pre-installed productivity software
- Automatic updates and security patches
Reliance Jio also plans to roll out special student and enterprise bundles, making JioPC a viable solution for schools, SMEs, and remote workers.
Key Benefits
- Affordable & Scalable: Eliminates the need to buy costly CPUs or laptops.

JioPC is designed for students, educators, small businesses, and households—anyone who needs a reliable, cost-effective computing experience. With India rapidly moving toward digital inclusion, JioPC could bridge the digital divide by making AI-powered computing accessible across urban and rural regions.

With the launch of JioPC, Reliance is not just selling a product—it’s pushing India into the era of cloud-first, AI-enhanced computing. The move also challenges traditional PC makers, as cloud computers could become the norm in emerging markets.
