Jio
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 cutting-edge 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.
A Vision That Touches All
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.
- crowd-source knowledge and adapt new age learning techniques and thus lift the level of education
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,
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 by Jio itself, its ecosystem partners or anyone globally. Reliance is committed
to the principles of Net Neutrality.
Laying the Foundation for the Future
Reliance Jio is creating the most extensive and future-proof network in India, and perhaps, in the world.
It will provide next generation legacy-free digital services over an end-to-end all-IP network, which
can be seamlessly upgraded even to 5G and beyond. In addition to the existing pan India 2300 M
Hz spectrum and 1800 MHz in 14 circles, Jio invested over Rs 10,000 crore during this year's auction
to acquire 800 MHz spectrum in 10 circles and 1800 MHz spectrum in 6 circles. This brings the
cumulative investment in spectrum assets to nearly Rs 34,000 crores. Jio now has the largest footprint
of liberalized spectrum in the country, acquired in an extremely cost effective manner.
Reliance Jio has laid more than 2.5 lakh kilometres of fibre-optic cables, covering 18,000 cities and
over one lakh villages, with the aim of covering 100% of the nation’s population by 2018. It has an
initial end-to-end capacity to serve in excess of 100 million wireless broadband and 20 million
Fibre-to-Home customers. Reliance Jio has also built nearly half-a-million square feet of cloud data
centres and a multi-Terabit capacity international network.
The infrastructure is being built in partnership with some of the world’s most technologically
advanced companies. Financial year 2016-17 will be the first full year of commercial operations.
