“6 years ago, when Jio was launched, we made it clear that Jio will leave no stone unturned to democratise internet and pass the benefits of technology to every Indian. Technology will no longer remain a privilege for a select few”, Ambani added.
The company will begin beta trials for first one million Jio Bharat phones from July 7. The trial will be carried out across 6,500 tehsils in India. The company wants to ensure scalability of platform and processes for upgrading millions of feature phone users.
