Jio’s Shift Toward Industry 5.0

Ajay Sehgal, Chief Revenue Officer of Jio Business, highlighted the company’s vision during a fireside chat at the recently concluded ETTelecom 5G Congress 2025. “As factories increasingly adopt automation and IoT technologies, the need for reliable, high-speed and secure connectivity has outgrown the capabilities of standard public 5G networks, creating the need for dedicated private networks.” He said private 5G networks will begin rolling out within the next three to four months.

Drawing a parallel with the shift from public to private cloud infrastructure, Sehgal reportedly said enterprises are now undergoing a similar transformation in network architecture. Using 5G network slicing, Jio is creating dedicated private networks that ensure enhanced control, data security, and operational efficiency.

“By integrating private 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), and edge computing, the networks are not just connecting factories, but also transforming them.”

Human-Centric Innovation

“It’s empowering manufacturers to work smarter, respond faster and innovate. Industry 5.0 is all about creating harmony between advanced technology and human intelligence. In a factory setting, machines may handle precision and scale, but people bring context, creativity and decision-making to the table,” Sehgal said, as per the report.

According to him, the essence of Industry 5.0 lies in the seamless synchronisation between humans and technology. “It’s a shift toward a more human-centric approach, where people are not just part of the process but at the very heart of it,” he reportedly added.
