Five years of Reliance Jio: Tech world congratulates telecom major on anniversary

NEW DELHI: From Google India to Zomato, and Netflix to Paytm – the who’s who of the tech world lined up to congratulate a company’s five years of operations. No surprise, they have been a beneficiary of the data revolution that Reliance Jio brought with its dirt cheap rates.

Data usage in India has zoomed 1,300 per cent and the number of broadband users grew four times since September 5, 2016, when billionaire Mukesh Ambani marked re-entry into the telecom space with Jio.
