How Reliance Jio Destroyed India's Telecom Market | Mukesh Ambani's Masterstroke Explained

Описание: Everyone remembers when Reliance Jio made the internet almost unbelievably cheap in India. But what was really happening behind the scenes?

In 2016, Mukesh Ambani entered an already saturated telecom market with a completely different playbook: Free voice calls, ultra-cheap data, and a massive bet on a 4G-only network.

But Jio's story isn't just about free internet. It's a masterclass in market timing, calculated risk-taking, building infrastructure before profits, and playing the long game.

In this episode of Business Scholars – Strategy Decoded, we break down how Jio disrupted Airtel, Vodafone and Idea, acquired 100M+ users in just 170 days, attracted investments from Google & Meta, and built an entire digital ecosystem.
