It was the first time voice calls were made free in the country.Ten years ago, Jio began with a bold vision and purpose set by our Chairman Mukesh Ambani: to make high-quality digital connectivity affordable and accessible to every Indian. Ten years on, that conviction has changed India, and I feel a deep sense of pride and gratitude for how far we have come together, Ambani said.The company started a trial of the Reliance Jio network with employees from December 28, 2015, which was later extended to friends and employees of Reliance Industries.Even after the commercial launch, the services were free under a company scheme for all subscribers for the next six months.The company crossed 50 million subscribers in 83 days of commercial launch and 100 million in less than six months.As part of restructuring, Reliance Jio became a subsidiary of Jio Platform, which was incorporated in November 2019.The company had 533.3 million customers as of June 30, 2026.Ambani said the story of Jio was written by the people who built it.Every day, teams across Jio have taken on difficult challenges, questioned established ways of doing things, created new products and technologies, and served our customers with commitment. That willingness to think differently, move with speed and keep the customer at the centre of everything we do has shaped Jio from the very beginning, he said.Jio is now among the largest data operators globally, carrying over 23 exabytes of data traffic every month.It has become the fastest-growing connectivity subscriber base in the world outside China, with net additions of nearly 500 million over the decade, which is more than the top three US telecom operators added put together, and over 1.3 times the nearest Indian competitor.
