Jio's entry has created a major sensation in the India's telecom sector. In our welcome post, we have talked about how different people have perceived and received Jio's freebies.
Today, in simple terms, we have compiled a summary of top-5 impacts from Jio Services.
Impact-1: Jio made millions of Indians happy

For some time, let us ignore the intention of Reliance Jio or Mukesh Ambani while they introduced sweet deals in the form of free 4G services. Irrespective of the intention behind, there is no questioning in the fact that it has bought happiness in the life of millions of indian citizens, especially the poor people.
Impact-2: Jio added healthy price war
Many analysts commented on Jio's strategy as "Predatory". While we respect their opinions, but will have to respectfully disagree on this fact. Reason is simple, competition is natural phenomenon in any sector and the level of competition keeps oscillating from weak to tough. If Jio had not posed this competition, someone else would have at some point of time.
We were really surprised when we heard the term "Predatory" in relation to Jio offers. How can one ignore the extent of benefits to common public!
The data charges as well as calling charges have drastically dropped, thanks to Jio.
Impact-3: Great Push to "Digital India Campaign"
What a perfect timing!! With the central government's push for "Digital India", many people thought it would take very long time while India's villagers learnt the required skills. Jio has not solved all the problems, but definitely has accelerated the pace with which digital India is being imbibed into indian public.
Impact-4: Knowledge Flush to Rural India
Look at the following 2 cases:
1) One of the local news channels in Maharashtra, was showing a group of farmers sitting under a tree and viewing the YouTube videos related to crop management. Imagine their smiles!!
2) One government school teacher from Karnataka is said to have used Jio freebie to educate the students with science animated videos online. Could you have imagined this service prior to Jio launch in rural schools?
These cases are just a glimpse of how Jio has helped millions of people to acquire easy and free knowledge.
Impact-5: Blessing to New Startups
One of my team member was sharing a story of how Jio has helped to save startup expenses worth thousands of rupees. Usually, a startup company invests more than 5000 rupees to acquire a reliable internet access. Every year, expenses for data recharges accumulate to an extent of 2 thousand rupees on an average.
Just imagine the savings for a startup company which was incorporated before September-2016. For very large companies, the data charges might be negligible. But for SME (Small & Medium Enterprises), every drop counts.
Conclusion:
Whatever may be the strategy or intention behind Jio's cheap offers, but its contributions to the society can't be ignored. We don't know what fate lies for Jio in future, but we just appreciate and thanks for its contribution.
