Reliance Jio has come up with yet another move to disrupt the Indian telecom industry, and it's bigger than Welcome Offer and Happy New Year offer. On Tuesday (Feb 21), RIL's chairman and MD Mukesh Ambani made a series of announcements, from thanking Jio's users for their trust to achieving new milestones to finally launching a new scheme that outmatches every other telco in India.
The Reliance Jio Prime membership programme was launched by Ambani to make good on its promise of "everyday more value" to Jio customers. The biggest takeaway from Ambani's speech on Tuesday was the introduction of Jio Prime membership.
