Akash Ambani Says Jio Listing Is a New Beginning

Jio Platforms Managing Director Akash Ambani has described the company’s stock market listing as “a new beginning” rather than a destination, urging employees to focus on empowering every Indian through artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced digital technologies.

In an email to employees on Wednesday, Akash Ambani said Jio Platforms must lead the next wave of technological transformation, making cutting-edge technologies affordable, accessible and meaningful for every Indian.

The message came as Jio Platforms Limited (JPL), backed by Reliance Industries, made its debut on the Indian stock exchanges. The company’s shares surged around 21 per cent above the issue price of ₹1,119, marking a strong market debut and making Jio Platforms the second most valuable domestic company by market capitalisation.

He described the occasion as a historic moment for the Reliance family, noting that Jio had grown from a bold vision into one of India’s most consequential enterprises in just a decade.

Crediting Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s vision, he highlighted the group’s philosophy of dreaming big, thinking long-term and executing with excellence.

According to him, Jio has transformed how India connects, communicates, learns and works by making data affordable and bringing millions of people into the digital mainstream.

“We did not simply build a telecom network. We helped build the digital backbone of a new India,” he said.
