ALL ITS EMPLOYEES IN THE COINTRY ). Reliance Jio promises to shape the future of India by providing end-to-end digital
solutions for businesses, institutions and households and seamlessly bridging
the rural-urban divide.
Home to the world’s second largest population of 1.2 billion, India is a young
nation with 63% of its population under the age of 35 years. It has a fast growing
digital audience with 800 million mobile connections and over 200 million internet
users. Reliance thoroughly believes in India’s potential to lead the world with its
capabilities in innovation. Towards that end, Reliance envisages creation of a
digital revolution in India.
Reliance Jio aims to enable this transformation by creating not just a cuttingedge voice and broadband network, but also a powerful ecosystem on which a
range of rich digital services will be enabled – a unique green-field opportunity.
The three-pronged focus on broadband networks, affordable smartphones and
the availability of rich content and applications has enabled Jio to create an
integrated business strategy from the very beginning, and today, Jio is capable of
offering a unique combination of telecom, high speed data, digital commerce,
media and payment services.
Reliance’s vision for India is that broadband and digital services will no longer be
a luxury item. Rather, Reliance envisions an India where these are basic
necessities to be consumed in abundance by consumers and small businesses
alike, as much in far-flung villages as in our largest cities. The initiatives are truly
aligned with the Government of India’s ‘Digital India’ vision for our nation.
Affordable Devices: Jio has worked with all the leading device manufacturers of
the world to ensure availability of 4G LTE smartphones across all price points –
from ultra-premium models on one hand, to entry level models on the other.
Digital Currency: Jio envisions a new India which will use digital currency instead
of paper money for a more secure and convenient way to transact. Jio Money,
Jio’s digital currency and digital payments business, will play a crucial role in this
by offering a platform for ubiquitous, affordable and secure digital payments.
Jio Drive: Micro and small businesses will soon have access to cutting-edge
cloud storage technologies which were once affordable to big companies only,
giving them a new edge to compete on a global landscape. Jio Drive is an
application that brings powerful cloud capabilities to every smartphone. Using
Jio Drive, anyone can store, sync and share any content between their own
devices and also with their friends. Digital Education: Teachers and students from far flung areas can connect with
each other, crowd-source knowledge and adapt new age learning techniques and
thus lift the level of education to a completely different plane.
Digital Healthcare: Expert medical advice would be available anytime, anywhere with medical practitioners able to grow their practice without constraint, and
provide quality of life to the crores that make up our country.
Digital Entertainment and social connectivity: Jio Chat is a powerful
communication application that integrates chat, voice, video calling,
conferencing, file sharing, photo sharing and much more. Jio Play enables users
to watch HD TV anytime, anywhere on any device, from hundreds of channels,
across categories and languages. Jio Beats is a premier digital music streaming
service that gives instant access to millions of songs and curated playlists. Jio
Mags and Jio News provide access to the most popular collection of magazines
and news from leading publishing houses across multiple languages.
Digital Entrepreneurship: Jio is building is a powerful platform on which a range
of rich digital products and services can be enabled – digital currency, digital
commerce, digital education, digital healthcare, e-governance, Smart Cities, M2M
and the Internet of Things. It does not matter whether these services are created
