Reliance Jio has reportedly started the recruitment process to set up a new team which will focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain technology, under the leadership of Akash Ambani. According to a recent report from Livemint, sources familiar with the matter have revealed that the new team will focus on the potential use cases of AI, ML, and blockchain for the swiftly expanding telecom firm.
Since its launch back in September 2016, Reliance Jio has accumulated an impressive 186 million users in the country due to its competitive data pricing and free voice services. The company’s popularity grew with the launch of the JioPhone, an affordable 4G handset which was sold to users for a refundable security deposit of Rs. 1,500, making the device effectively free in the long term.
