Reliance Enterprise Intelligence appoints Parminder Singh as Chief Executive Officer

Reliance Intelligence and Facebook joint venture Reliance Enterprise Intelligence Ltd (REIL) has appointed Parminder Singh as Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect, the company said on Thursday.

Reliance Intelligence Ltd owns 70 percent of the firm, while the rest is owned by Facebook Overseas Inc. The firm aims to accelerate the adoption of enterprise AI across India by combining Meta’s AI capabilities with Reliance’s enterprise reach, AI computing infrastructure and Jio’s nationwide connectivity.

“Reliance Enterprise Intelligence Limited has appointed Parminder Singh as Chief Executive Officer,” the company said in a statement.

Singh is one of Asia’s best-known technology leaders, with a career spanning Google, Apple, Twitter and IBM. He has built and transformed digital businesses at scale across the Asia-Pacific region.

His executive roles include chief commercial and digital officer at Mediacorp, Singapore’s largest media group, where he led the organisation’s far-reaching digital and AI-driven transformation, the statement said.

Akash Ambani, President, Reliance Jio Infocomm, said that developing India’s enterprise AI talent is a generational opportunity and REIL has been created to lead this charge.

“Parminder’s appointment is a critical first step towards establishing a world-class team that will define enterprise AI in India and set a benchmark far beyond it,” the statement said.

Most recently, Singh co-founded ClayboxAI, an AI fluency and leadership consulting firm, and WeKamp, an AI-powered community platform currently in its pilot phase.

“Enterprise AI in India is not a future story but a present opportunity. Indian businesses need a trusted AI partner that understands both the technology and the business context. REIL is designed to be exactly that. With the combined capabilities of Jio and Meta, we have a truly differentiated proposition,” Singh said.
