Indian operator Reliance Jio signed up 100 million subscribers in its first five months of operation, company chairman Mukesh Ambani (pictured) announced.
The Press Trust of India reported Ambani’s comments at the India Leadership Forum event, confirming the operator reached its launch target in a much shorter time than anticipated.
He said: “When we started Jio we set a target of 100 million customers in [the] shortest [possible] time. Even we didn’t imagine we will do it in months.”
Jio launched its service in September 2016, offering a range of free data, voice and messaging services in a bid to quickly build its subscriber base. Although the deals were initially due to expire in December, Jio since extended the period to end-June.
