Claim:Mukesh Ambani has endorsed an investment platform called Quantum AI that promises monthly returns of Rs 12 million.
fact:That claim is false. Viral videos are generated using artificial intelligence (AI).
HYDERABAD: A video of Mukesh Ambani claiming to support investment platform Quantum AI is going viral on social media.
The video, shared on Facebook, shows journalist Rahul Kanwal speaking about the alleged attack on Mukesh Ambani at a “press conference dedicated to the launch of national platform Quantum AI.” The next clip shows Ambani, with cuts and bruises on his face, talking about quantum AI. (archive)
In the video, Ambani appears to say:
“This national financial platform will earn a minimum of Rs 1.2 million every month for anyone who registers and deposits as little as P20,000. The Government of India and SEBI will serve as the official guarantors of this project. The program will automatically buy and sell stocks and bonds in the international market, generating huge profits for participants.”
The clip further claims that due to a technical glitch, the minimum investment amount was reduced to ₹20,000, making it a limited time opportunity. Create a sense of urgency and FOMO by repeatedly reminding your audience to act within an hour. The video promises an unrealistically high return of ₹12 million per month for those who invest ₹20,000 on the platform.

NewsMeter found this claim to be false. Viral videos are generated using artificial intelligence (AI)
A keyword search did not yield any information about the quantum AI launch or the attack on Mukesh Ambani during such an event. There are no reliable news reports or social media posts regarding this platform.
We also checked official government sources like the central government’s MyScheme portal and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) website for any notifications regarding such investment platforms. No official announcement was found on either platform.
A close analysis of the viral video revealed several inconsistencies, including Kanwar and Ambani’s lip movements not matching the audio and their speech patterns sounding robotic.
Using Hive Moderation, an AI detection tool, we found that the clip showing Kanwal was likely generated by AI. Another tool, Deepware, confirmed that the clip was indeed a deepfake.
We also contacted the Deepfakes Analysis Unit (DAU), an initiative of the Trusted Information Alliance (TIA), regarding the authenticity of the clip featuring Ambani.
DAU analysis found that the teeth visible in Ambani’s clip blend into the off-white spots and look unnatural. In some frames, the lower teeth all look the same shape, which is unnatural.
They further noted that Ambani’s pronunciation of ‘lakh’ was unusually distorted. This is a common sign of synthetic speech.
Hive’s deepfake detector highlighted several timecodes where the video appears to have been altered using AI.
Aurigin AI, a Swiss deep tech company with an advanced audio deepfake detection engine, also confirmed that the audio track in the Amberi clip was 100% AI-generated.
NewsMeter previously exposed similar false claims of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Google CEO Sundar Pichai allegedly supporting the investment platform. It was also discovered that these videos were manipulated by AI.
The viral video was generated by AI. There is no information that the investment platform called Quantum AI is backed by the Indian government or SEBI. NewsMeter concludes that this viral claim is false.
