“Unsurprisingly, I am at the AI Summit this entire week with folks from my team and colleagues. Come visit us - we are all excited to share a glimpse of what all is cooking in our kitchen!” Bengaluru-based Aggarwal announced on X yesterday.

In an update shared this morning, he invited engineers attending the summit to apply for a role at Reliance Jio.

“To the cracked engineers at the summit: if you’re building at the frontier of AI models, optimization, or platforms, we need you,” wrote the Chief AI Scientist at Reliance Jio. “Reach out and I’ll fast-track an intro to our recruitment team. Let’s build for Bharath, at a scale only we know!”

Aggarwal is among several AI and tech leaders who will converge in Delhi this week for the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The summit will take place at Bharat Mandapam between February 16 to 20.
