Reliance Jio’s entry broke myth that Indians averse to new technology, says Chairman Mukesh Ambani

Indian Telecom operator Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) Chairman Mukesh Ambani said that Reliance Jio has broken the myth that India is not ready to adopt advanced technology.

In a letter written to the employees of Jio on completion of one year of commercial operations on 5th September, Ambani conveyed: "In this past one year, we have broken several records, both in India and globally. But what gives me the biggest personal satisfaction is to have broken the myth that India is not ready to adopt advanced technology."

"The way the country has embraced 4G technology and the way it is being used is already a case study for quantum technology leaps," he added.

Ambani told his employees: "The challenge was not only to launch a new technology and operationalize it in real time across the country, but to make our offering so simple, convenient and compelling that every Indian, in every city, town and village would benefit from it." According to sources revealed that in India mobile data consumption reaches up from 20 crore GB per month to over 150 crore GB per month in the previous one year.

"Jio is already carrying five times more data than all other telecom players put together in India," the source said. Jio initiated its wireless telecommunication benefits in every one of the 22 benefit territories from 5th September, last year. On 21st July, it was reported that jio acquired more than 100 million endorsers in scarcely 170 days. On an average, Jio included seven clients per second each and every day.
