Mohandas Pai on the Jio Moment: When Each Indian Has an Equal Share in the Digital Success Story

The biggest challenge for India has been to make sure that all citizens have access to the basic necessities of life. Reliance Jio has been the pioneer in transforming India through their 4G network whereby every Indian has got access to almost unlimited data, at less than Rs 100 per month. A huge number of Indians have taken up this offer and today an average Indian smartphone user consumes 16GB of 4G data per month, one of highest in the world. The launch of the new Jio phone gives such Indians an opportunity to make a transition from a feature phone to a smartphone and get all the attendant benefits. The launch of the Jio phone will transform India, create a single platform of 4G users—where almost every single phone will be a smartphone.
