Reliance’s telecommunication service providing brand Jio invests $15 million in deep learning and artificial intelligence startup Two Platforms. The investment has made Reliance Jio a 25% equity stakeholder on a fully diluted basis.
United States-based artificial intelligence company Two Platforms was founded by Pranav Mistry recently in 2021. White & Case served as the legal advisor for Jio for the transaction. Two platforms specialize in developing interactive and immersive artificial intelligence experiences beyond text and voice.
The company’s founding team has extensive experience in research, design, and operations with some of the world’s most prestigious technological organizations. The company’s platform enables artificial intelligence-powered voice and video chats in real-time, as well as artificial humans, immersive environments, and vivid games.
