Reliance Jio us Mukesh Ambani's dream project. He could not have started it earlier because of legal restrictions (His family feud), but when he got free from them he immediately acquired Infotel Broadband and started laying off optical fibers all around India. He launched the services in 2016 as full-fledged under the name 'Jio' and his attractive offers have definitely created internet addiction among people of every age. The 4G speed provided by other telecom is very slow and Ambani knows he can easily surpass them. And He will get 150 per person minimum and that's a great number because, in India, a user doing a recharge of more than 150 is considered a valuable customer by all other operators. So Jio will be most profitable of them all. And as more and more people will start using smartphones, Jio will become more dominant and eliminate all other companies from the map. After laying off the optical fibers, the calls are connected directly from internet so technically there is zero cost for Jio for all the future calls. Jio is capable of proving internet at 5G, 6G and even 7G speeds. Other operators were charging heavy for internet up till now and gaining excessive profits, Jio has brought them at level.
We should not forget Mukesh Ambani once revolutionized telecom sector when he launched Reliance telecommunications, but in 2002 it was taken away from him otherwise we would have seen Jio effect very earlier.

According to me, Reliance Jio is not sustainable business model for country like India. Because, lets understand what is jio model. Mr Anil Ambani is putting billions of dollers in investments. He is capable of bearing short term loss for the growth of his company. But there are less number of rich businessmens in India like Ambaniji. So this model is only for those sections of businessmen. Another problem with this model is that, after the arrival of jio in India with cheaper rate, almost all telecom componey get into loss. Except some big componies like Idea Airtel etc, most of the company either merge themself to reduce their loss, or declare themself bankrupt. Hence Jio's monoploy even though is benificial for Indian customers, but is not suitable for telecom sector as well as economy of India. I have an example in my mind. Recently the 6th ranked telecom compony Aircel declare themself bankrupt, because they were already in loss/deficit, and they don't switch to new technology like VoLTE 4G. Lack of innovation and adaptablity in the most of the telecom companies deteriorate the economy of India. Finance ministry of India should focus on those business model, which do economically betterment of commen businessmen of India.

Hello,
I am Vishesh Porwal.
Yes, Reliance Jio be a sustainable business model in a country like India because Jio provides a free data facility and better offers which is used to the Indians. And definitely, it helps the Indians including me also.
But I am just saying a little thing in front of everyone please you find why the Jio is launched that time. Launching of Jio is interrelated to demonetisation.
Please think about it.

Hello friends,
So on this topic, I want to say that especially in the country in the country like India consumers are ready to buy the products and services those are of the less price and of the good quantity and once these consumers would become loyal for a particular brand than they start buying the products of the brand. No matter later on the price of that particular product or service is high or low but most of the companies after making the goodwill in the market rise their price and quality accordingly.
So if we talk about the Jio it is having a great sustainable model in the country like India wherein initially, they were providing the data of high quality with the free SMSes, callings etc. For free and the consumers were just fighting among themselves to get the plans of jio as soon as possible and as I said the consumers in India always search the things those are of low price and high quality. Nowadays internet plays a crucial role in each and every person's life. Even if a person is having the headache so that in this condition instead of going to a doctor he or she prefer to search the medicine on the internet so you all can easily think that at what level the internet is in mind of the today's generation.
So, talking about the further strategy of Jio wherein they now charge some amount of money to give the plans to the consumers but this amount is still somewhere is less if we compare it with the other brands like Airtel, Vodafone etc. Like nowadays the lowest amount plan of Airtel is of rs. 59 in which they are providing the local and STD calls (Unlimited), 100 sms, 500 MB data for the 7 days but if we talk about Jio the lowest plan of Jio is of 52 rs. Wherein they are providing the local and STD calls (unlimited), 1. 05MB data (0. 15 MB per day), and 70 sms and this plan of Jio is of the 7 days. So, I just want to say that Jio is providing the much benefits compares to any other brands.
Jio is also providing the good range of networks like if you belong to Delhi and your sim card is also of Delhi and you are going to any other state just for enjoyment than you will find out no change in the quality of the networks of Jio. The speed of data can become high but not low but somewhere it can be low but much difference would not be there.

Well, I totally disagree that reliance jio is going to be a sustainable business in India. I mean yes its true that it gives free data services calling services at such little amount and leaves all other sustainable telecom companies far behind it which definitely bringing up unhealthy competition in a market. Even TRAI order jio company to stop his services. But as a smart businessman, Ambani ji somehow managed to continue it. But jio a newly launched company provide this services from his oil company profits. Obviously, one day it gonna start his charges then pre established companies like Bharti Airtel and BSNL will come in the frame. Other reliance projects like trends and reliance fresh eventually jio also have to fall. But till then people will continue to use jio and its benifits. I must say step of launching jio was a step closer to move towards digital India. But in actual jio has no tie ups with modi ji's digital India thing.

Yes, I believe reliance JIO would definitely emerge as a sustainable business model.
1) with its advent, India faced a digital revolution.
2) people used to complain about existing infra, but with JIO atleast the digital infra is certainly going to grow up.
3) the Digital India dream of our PM would not have picked up pace unless for such a company.
4) India needs business model like JIO who can keep aside profit making agenda and without any political stunt contribute to wellbeing of society to some extent.
5) 60% villages have been laid with optical fibers after its advent. So India needs such favorable model for her constant upliftment.

According to me, it has a sustainable business model because only one month they have got 500 million subscriptions and they are provided free of cost subscription and free calling and very less amount have provided internet service and message and calling service. It was like the biggest challenges they were giving Competitor.

According to my point of view, yes Reliance Jio will be a sustainable business model in a country like India. Reliance jio, the great telecom industry is leaving a great impact in today's era. Within 1 month of launching jio, it got 500 million subscribers. The features are not comparable to any of the telecom industry be it Vodaphone, idea or airtel. The amount of data Jio is providing is amazing. Jio also got many services like jio money, Jio cinema and many more making our life much more comfortable. Recently they launched jio Giga fibres which provide huge data with magnificent network speed. They too got jio fi which is very portable and gives unlimited of data when recharging with a specific amount.
Money can be transferred from one account to another account and vice versa. What more we want! Just believe me at night time the network speed touches to a great height.
In a nutshell, reliance jio is just taking the power of technology in its palm. Recently, they also launched 5g that too very early.
Nevertheless, they are just taking the world to a different level.

Yes, reliance jio will be a sustainable business in cause due to the jio all the other data rates are less today. The competitive companies are luring by special offers and special discounts but they are not providing services like jio. Moreover, competitive companies for jio was airtel which tried to lure people by there an advertisement for the fastest network but can't tackle jio in long rum.

Yes. Definitely, Reliance Jio Business Strategie is very good. But Reliance point of view will addict the people for using 4G data. After 31st March they will be profitable. Students get benefit for free internet. But sometimes misuse also happen in free internet. Lots of student Jio is used for watching movie and playing game.
