Reliance Jio, India's largest telecom operator, has plans to go global. This is not a new plan for the company. Jio even applied for a stake in a Sri Lankan telecom operator. Reliance Jio has developed a series of products both for consumers and enterprises. There are IoT (Internet of Things) products, telecom radios, and more. The company plans to get listed in the future as a separate entity in the Indian stock market. Currently, Jio is housed under Reliance Industries Limited (RIL).

Jio plans to sell indigenously developed technologies to other countries. The 5G stack deployed by the carrier is its own and it is now rolled out at scale, proving its effectiveness.
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) said that selling Jio's products internationally will help ensure strong and consistent shareholders return over the coming years. Jio filed for more than 1000 patents and was granted more than 100 in FY24.
"These patents span 6G, 5G, AI, LLM, Deep Learning, Big Data, Devices, IoT and NB-IoT," said the company in its annual report. Reliance Jio is working on its own AI (artificial intelligence) products and even launched some of them including JioTranslate. The company showcased the effectiveness of JioTranslate last year at the IMC (India Mobile Congress) 2024.

Jio's indigenously developed 5G stack is now handling 30% of the data traffic on its networks. This is expected to grow as more consumers upgrade to 5G phones and recharge with eligible 5G prepaid plans from the telecom operator.
It is worth noting here that Jio has its own affordable feature phones that can sell like a hotcake in developing countries as these devices support 4G and online payments. The JioBharat devices are currently in sale in India and the same can happen in places such as Africa.
