[Nita]:through the work that Reliance Foundation is doing Visuals: Slide 54 - shows Nita is presenting [Nita]: in our nation's fight against the pandemic. Over the past 15 months for Mukesh and me the top priority has been to do whatever we can to help our nation and our people. In these difficult times, Reliance Foundation launched five missions to fight the virus. Mission oxygen, mission COVID infra, mission arn na seva, mission employee care and mission vaccine surekhya. Let me start with mission oxygen. Visuals: Slide 55- Shows Akash is listening to the session. [Nita]:As you all know India faced an acute shortage of oxygen as soon as COVID cases began to surge earlier this year. Visuals: Slide 56 - shows Nita is presenting [Nita]:Reliance swung into action on a war footing immediately. Traditionally we have never produced medical grade liquid oxygen. Yet, when the need arose, we repurposed our Jamnagar refinery within days to produce high purity medical grade liquid oxygen. And within two weeks we ramped up production to a massive 1,100 metric tons per day. It would normally take over a year to set up a new medical grade oxygen plant of this capacity. But it was a superhuman effort by our Reliance engineers who put in more than 85,000 man hours of work in less than 10 days to make it possible. They delivered what mattered the most. When it mattered the most. You will feel proud to know that today, Reliance is producing over 11% of India's medical grade liquid oxygen. The highest by a single company at a single location. We are providing this brand value oxygen to one out of every 10 COVID patients in India. And offering this service to the nation free of cost. For Mukesh and me and every member of our Reliance family. This opportunity to serve humanity is a noblest of all noble causes. Friends. In the oxygen supply chain we have addressed India's serious bottleneck of tankers. Visuals: Slide shows a member is listening to the session. [Nital]:Reliance procured 100 new medical grade Visuals: Slide 57 - shows Nita is presenting [Nita]:oxygen tankers both from within India and other parts of the world. Like Germany, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Netherlands, Belgium, Thailand, Indonesia and put them into service within two weeks. We also helped in installing oxygen generators in several hospitals across the country to strengthen oxygen availability. I salute all our engineers, doctors and frontline warriors for working selflessly and tirelessly for mission oxygen.

Visuals:Slide 178 - Sundar is a man in a suit and glasses is presenting the session. [Sundar]:Thank you to Mukesh, Nita, Akash and Isha and to everyone at Reliance Industries for all you do for India. From investing in infrastructure and technology to creating jobs and expanding opportunity to supporting communities in need, especially in this difficult moment for the country. It's been devastating to see the country hit so hard by COVID-19. Yet it's hardening to see how Reliance has stepped up to contribute to the national response and get support to the communities that need it most. On behalf of all of us at Google, we hope you are taking care and are wishing for better days ahead. For Google, the past year has brought renewed purpose and greater urgency to our mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. At a time when so many aspects of our lives and work are moving online, it's even more important to make technology accessible and helpful for everyone. This goal is at the heart of our partnership with Reliance jio. It was proud to help launch this partnership last year. It was the first and biggest equity investment from the 75,000 crore rupees Google for India digitization fund. Our vision was to bring affordable access to information for Indians in their own language, to build new products and services for India's unique needs and empower businesses with technology. I'm excited that today we can announce the next steps in this vision, starting with a new, affordable jio smartphone created with Google. Our teams have optimized a version of our Android OS, especially for this device. We'll offer language and translation features, a great camera and support for the latest Android updates. It's built for India and will open up new possibilities for millions of new users who will experience the internet for the very first time. And we can't wait to show you the device later this year. I'm also proud to announce that we are taking our collaboration further with a new 5G partnership between Google Cloud and jio. It'll help more than a billion Indians connect to a faster and better internet. Support businesses in their digital transformation and help jio build new services in sectors like health, education and more. Laying a foundation for the next phase of India's digitization. As part of this collaboration, reliance will also shift its core retail businesses to Google Cloud's infrastructure. They'll be able to take advantage of Google's AI and machine learning, e-commerce and demand forecasting offerings. Harnessing the reliability and performance of Google Cloud will enable these businesses to scale up as needed to respond to customer demand. Empowering businesses as they embark on their digital transformation is a key part of our mission in India. I'm excited for the innovations this partnership will help unleash. We are proud to play a part in India's next wave of technological innovation. Helping to connect 1.3 billion Indians to the opportunities the internet creates is meaningful to all of us at Google and certainly to me personally. I know that with greater access to smartphones and improved connectivity, there's no limit to what India's people can do. We look forward to getting technology into the hands of more people and to exploring what more we can achieve together in the years ahead. Thank you.
