Will Reliance Jio be a sustainable business model in a country like India?

Mukesh Ambani did a great job by bringing a nice project in front of normal people now they are able to use 4g network at a cheaper rate consequently other companies such as Airtel, idea are minimizing rates just because of Jio now it's affordable for every people and a great move towards the cashless economy.

Yes, Jio is very beneficial and it will definitely sustain for a long time. As the strategy used by Jio is awesome. As it is serving our nation but most of the businessmen think about themselves only and they do not think about other people of the country. But Ambani understood the concept of economy of scale and because of this concept only Jio is famous and success full in India. It has tried to solve a lot of problems in India as we know most of the poor people in India are not able to take proper higher education but now the can get all types of knowledge in the internet which is very cheap and easily affordable. Now, most of the problems can be solved by the internet as we can get an answer of anything in the internet.

Thanks to Ambani for jio.

Yes, with the advent of JIO, nowadays every person with a 4G phone is using the internet. This can be seen with the exponential rise in the number of users in just 2-3 months. Other network companies have suffered badly because of it. This business model is sustainable as.

1. It is cheap.

2. It has a lot of other apps associated with it like JIO movies, JIO TV, etc.

3. Due to 4G, the net has good speed.

4. It has free voice calls and free messaging.

5. It promotes digital India scheme.

6. It is user-friendly due to the MyJio app.

7. The sim is free and is activated in a few hours for new users.

These are some of the factors which favor the JIO business model in India. As majority of India's population is middle class, people need cheap, reliable, user-friendly and sustainable technology which is provided by JIO. According to me, JIO will be a success in India.

We Indian have become habitual for free services. There are certain points which we need to consider.

1. Despite free services Ambani made huge money from jio, how?
2. Because of jio other vendors are in big trouble and making losses almost every month. Or merging with each other to cut down operational costs.
3. Because of jio a kind of unhealthy competition is created in the telecom industry. As entire jio network is setup on govt land for which I doubt Ambani is paying anything where as other vendors are paying a big cost for running their network.
4. Our govt is responsible for maintaining a healthy competition between multiple vendors in an industry, here in case of jio our govt is giving out of box support Ambani's. May be because Ambani's are a good friend of our PM or our govt is returning favour which has been done by Ambani's during 2014 Loksabha elections.

Whatever is the case but users are happy with free. Jio services and soon other vendors will not exist anymore. Only, jio will dominate the industry.

Reliance jio is not a sustainable business model in a country like India.

Because of the offer, other telecom companies are suffering from debt which in turn increase the national debt.

India needs cheap offers like the one provided by jio but such offers should be sustainable and should be formulated keeping in view the future of the industry.

Other service providers should upgrade their technology to provide cheap services and try matching with with the universal levels.

All the above suggestion are good and should get appreciation.

But my suggestion is different because People usually using an old number if we take an example of mine usually 5 years and more.

So its difficult to have another number if [JIO is providing number potability ] which you are using less.

Taking about services, services are quite good as compare to other brands but some places network is still.

Common. Those user having a good data speed are having but those who don't have are not getting because of last of coverage.

Taking about the compatibility it's working on 4g and taking about the market the minimum 4g handset going to cost you 4500-5000.

So its not for a small scale common user who uses no internet phone.

Thus it's a great move but still a lot of room is there for improvement.

It is very costly to the common man to afford the data charges. But now it is JIO's time. Everybody who have 4G mobiles are using this JIO sim. Mr. AMBANI is the trend setter. I'm one of the users of JIO I can surely say with out that my education will be incomplete. Because we are in the final year of B-Tech and we are in search of projects. If data is not available then it is very horrible to think. It is giving a very tight competition to the other business. Now Airtel, Vodafone are inventing new techniques like data@29/mnth. Now just think how much they received up to now.

Hello, everyone.

Yes, Jio is a sustainable business in India, in present days boo signal will be available in villages also. And it is low cost and high quality and efficiency for different stages of people. By using jio we can easily available the all the information we want from the net in any place. It will improve the technical quality of that particular people. So jio is a sustainable model in India.

Until 31st March, Jio could be sustainable. Thereafter when the charges would be implemented we need to think on two points:

1. What would be the charges?

2. What percent of population would be willing to pay?

Now considering the second part first let's say they provide services at a very minimal cost, then too the users would have to then pay atleast an amount for the same services they were using free of cost and then there will also be other companies like AIRTEL VODAFONE etc which have already lowered their data and call charges would also compete hence the population would be divided, not that there would be no user of JIO but ot upto the great number as we can find today.

Coming to the first part we need to first think what amount they would be charging the users?

Anyhow according to me many poor people are using JIO as its free of cost now, since they would have to pay something you can just margin them out of the user list. Now in India, where majority of population belongs to middle class, the frequency of the recharges done by them varies, around 85.55% people users recharge per month, now the frequency of recharges would decline as the addiction of jio decreases in a long run after being it 4-5 times per month at the starting.

I don't think it would be a sustainable model if the data and call rates are kept very high in a long run.

Yeah. It's sustains very well. But we have to think about the addiction to it. As compared to other telecom services it sustained successfully till the march ending. After that we have to see what will happen to the users it will be based on the prices that the Jio will assist on the data plans, at last, the one thing to say is it was created a revolution in the telecoms.
