Mumbai: Speaking at the 40th Annual General Meeting(AGM) of Reliance Industries Limited(RIL), Chairman and Managing Director of company Mukesh Ambani said Jio has witnessed the fastest adoption of any technology service, anywhere in the world, faster than Facebook, WhatesApp and Skype.

Ambani said, “Jio has broken one world record after another. In less than 170 days, more than 100 million customers signed up for Jio’s services. On an average, Jio added 7 customers per second every single day. This was the fastest adoption of any technology service, anywhere in the world. Faster than Facebook, WhatsApp, Skype. Today Jio has over 125 million customers. We have proved all our sceptics wrong.”

On voice calling segment, Ambani said, “we enabled Jio users to make unlimited voice calls from anywhere to everywhere in India – absolutely free. Jio users consistently make more than 250 crore minutes of voice and video calls every single day. We are grateful to Prime Minister’s Digital India,which allows benefits of technology to be passed on to Indian customers.”

On data he said, “in just 6 months of Jio’s launch, data consumption in India went from 20 crore GB to 120 crore GB per month. Now, Jio customers alone are consuming over 125 crore GB of data a month, including 165 crore hours high-speed video every month making Jio the largest mobile video network. Indeed, India has overtaken the US and China in mobile data usage. Before Jio’s launch, India was 155th in the world in mobile broadband penetration now India is No 1 in mobile data consumption.”

Ambani said, today, Jio has more than 100 million paying Jio Prime customers. Most have recharged on Jio’s Rs 309 or higher plans.
