Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio network is stated as the largest Startup in the world. The numbers prove it all even before the commercial public launch. When Jio service was launched on December 28th, 2015, only its employees and their relatives got to use the cutting-edge service through an invite-based system to try the service. As of now the network boasts 7 lakh users and is currently giving hiccups to other service providers.
The user-base of Jio’s platform recorded huge numbers since its trial launch to public. The network generated a considerable 13 PB/ month of data since its launch. Airtel tops the charts in terms of data consumption and recorded 45 PB/month of data consumption. It must be noted that according to a field trial conducted by Foreign broker Credit Suisse, Jio’s speed was 7-15 times faster than other 4G providers and its network coverage was also applaudable.
Apart from that Airtel has a fair share of the market in mobile service provider category according to a report by TRAI. Airtel holds the top position with 24.31% of wireless subscriber base in India followed by Vodafone capturing 19.15% of the wireless subscriber base, idea accumulating 16.94% of market and Reliance capturing 9.91% of the market. Despite that, Jio service that provided LTE network has become a fierce competitor in the LTE market.
