Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (Jio) is India’s largest and most influential digital services and telecommunications company, credited with transforming the country’s connectivity landscape. A subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) under Jio Platforms, the company is headquartered in Navi Mumbai and operates one of the world’s largest all-IP networks.
Launched commercially in September 2016, Jio disrupted the telecom sector by making high-speed mobile data and voice services affordable and widely accessible. Its aggressive pricing reshaped consumer behavior, turned India into a global leader in mobile data consumption, and accelerated the nation’s digital adoption.
Today, Jio serves over 500 million subscribers, making it the largest mobile network operator in India and among the top three globally. The company operates a nationwide 4G and standalone 5G network across all 22 telecom circles, with True 5G now rolled out pan-India. Looking ahead, Jio is also working on next-generation technologies, including 6G.
Beyond connectivity, Jio has built a comprehensive digital ecosystem spanning:
-
Broadband & Connectivity: Mobile services, JioFiber, JioAirFiber, and satellite-based Jio SpaceFiber
-
Digital Platforms & Apps: JioCinema, JioSaavn, JioMart, cloud and enterprise solutions
-
Devices: JioPhone, JioPhone Next (co-developed with Google), Jio Bharat 4G phones, JioFi, JioDive VR, and smart accessories like JioTag
-
Enterprise & Business Services: Connectivity, cloud, and digital tools for SMEs and large enterprises
Backed by strategic global partnerships with companies such as Google, Samsung, Nokia, Ericsson, Cisco, and Meta, Jio continues to expand its technology leadership and infrastructure scale.
In essence, Reliance Jio is more than a telecom operator—it is a digital platform company driving India’s connected future. By combining affordable connectivity, rich digital services, and indigenous innovation, Jio has become a cornerstone of India’s journey toward a fully digital economy.
