The initiative centres on the Vi Intelligence Lab, established in partnership with PwC India, which will focus on developing, incubating and scaling AI solutions for businesses across industries. “It will bring together Vi’s digital infrastructure and PwC India’s transformation expertise to build a global innovation gateway connecting leading global AI leaders, startups, research ecosystems and enterprises to solve real world business challenges through AI,” the companies said in a joint statement on November 4, 2026.
