India has handled the situation with exemplary competence, commitment, and wisdom. I can see India emerging much stronger in the fast-changing multipolar world. India will play the role of a balancer, a promoter of peace, and a friend to all. This is not merely my hope; it is my confidence and my conviction. Friends, the most important lesson for India from these volatile times is that we must intensify and speed up our efforts to make our country atma-nirbhar in critical resources and technologies. Maximum energy self-sufficiency and AI self-sufficiency must become our national missions. The success of these missions is critical to the success of Viksit Bharat. Reliance is playing a leading role in both national imperatives. We have laid the foundation for Reliance to emerge as a leading deep-tech and advanced manufacturing company. For this, we are investing an extraordinary amount in innovation and R&D. Here is proof that will make all of you proud. According to the latest report by the World Intellectual Property Organization, Jio Platforms has jumped from a rank of 340 to 20 in just one year in terms of the velocity of innovations through patents. This places Jio above several global tech giants and is the only Indian company in the top 20 in this elite league. Let us warmly congratulate our brilliant team of scientists, engineers, and innovators. They have made India proud.
Friends, this is a landmark year for us for not one but two reasons. Jio completes 10 years of stellar success, becoming the primary enabler of India's digital and AI revolution. Reliance Retail completes 20 years as a trailblazer, becoming the catalyst of India's organized retail revolution. In both businesses, we remain the unbeatable number one. Two phenomenal anniversaries, two spectacular transformations, and they affirm one abiding truth: when a patriotic high-performance company consistently serves the aspirations of 1.5 billion Indians, there is no limit to what it can achieve. Dear friends, our founder chairman Sri Dhirubhai taught us that behind every obstacle is an opportunity. Through adaptability, reinvention, and strategic diversification, Reliance has consistently achieved long-term value creation at scale. As I address you today, I do so in the firm belief that Reliance's best chapters lie ahead. Our foundations are strong, our strategy is clear, and the opportunity for growth in India and with India and for India is immense.
Allow me to take you through the business and financial performance of Reliance. Dear shareholders, I am happy to share with you that Reliance posted a record-high revenue, a record-high EBITDA, and a record-high net profit for the financial year 2026. Despite global challenges, the consolidated revenue stood at ₹11,75,919 crores, up 9.8% year-on-year. Despite the volatility, rapid scaling up of our retail and digital businesses played a key role in meeting our commitment to doubling RIIL's EBITDA over five years. Our EBITDA for the financial year 2021 was ₹97,580 crores, which rose to ₹2,07,911 crores for the year 2026. Retail and digital businesses contributed nearly half of the financial year 2026 EBITDA. Together, they are increasingly becoming the primary drivers of Reliance's future growth. The net profit for the financial year 2026 stood at ₹95,754 crores, up 17.8% over last year.
Friends, Reliance's contribution to India's inclusive economic growth and nation-building remains unsurpassed. Reliance has maintained its top position in investing for India's growth. Reliance's capex stood at ₹1,44,271 crores for the year 2026. Over the last five years, Reliance's capital expenditure has stood at a massive ₹6,48,428 crores, or over 68.4 billion US dollars—more than any other company in India. Reliance contributed almost one-third of the total capital invested by India's top 50 corporates during the last five years. Reliance's exports were ₹2,78,880 crores, which was 6.7% of India's total merchandise exports for the year. Reliance remained the largest contributor to the national exchequer, contributing ₹2,16,472 crores. With that, our cumulative contribution over the last five years to the national exchequer crossed ₹9,78,000 crores, or in excess of 100 billion US dollars.
Reliance's commitment to inclusive growth remains unwavering. Our CSR expenditure in the financial year 2026 stood at ₹2,248 crores—the highest by a single Indian company. Importantly, these achievements are supported by a prudent capital allocation framework, proactive risk management, and a strong balance sheet and growing cash flows. This is reflected in the steady improvement in Reliance's global credit rating by S&P to A- and by Moody's to BAA1, both of which are two notches above India's sovereign credit rating. Reliance ranks amongst the largest employers in India. Every year, we are consistently creating an increasing number of high-paying direct and indirect employment. Our digital and retail businesses have also catalyzed lakhs of micro-entrepreneurship opportunities.
My dear shareholders, with great delight, let me tell you that the board of Jio Platforms has approved the draft red herring prospectus earlier today and it will be filed with SEBI today. This is a deeply emotional moment for me, for the entire Reliance family, and for millions of its shareholders. The relationship Reliance shares with its shareholders is a deep and sacred relationship founded on pride, trust, respect, and shared growth. The commitment to shared growth was deeply personal to Dhirubhai. It is equally sacred to me. Embodied in the same spirit, Isha, Akash, and Anant are heading the Jio IPO process and will lead the next generation of value-creation opportunities in the future. The proposed listing of Jio will demonstrate to the world that India can build technology companies of global scale, global capability, and global value. I assure you and all prospective new investors that a brighter future awaits Jio.
Friends, 10 years ago, Jio began its journey with an audacious dream to remove digital inequality from India. At that time, voice was costly, data was expensive, speeds were poor. Jio made voice free, made high-speed data affordable, and made digital life possible for every Indian. Jio empowered students to learn, small businesses to grow, families to connect, entrepreneurs to dream, and India to become the world's largest data market. Now Jio is preparing for its next big mission. Friends, in the past I have spoken to you about the revolutionary power of artificial intelligence. I firmly believe that India should not be a mere consumer of AI created elsewhere; it must become a creator, adopter, and a global leader in AI. That is why we announced Reliance Intelligence last year as our newest growth engine. Our objective is to build a profitable AI infrastructure platform and services business serving consumers, enterprises, and governments at scale.
We set out a clear vision, identified the focus areas, and began building the right partnerships with Google, Meta, and Nvidia. Now we are entering the next phase—execution—the details of which will be provided by Akash. A decade ago, Jio promised broadband connectivity to everyone, everywhere, and we delivered on that promise. Today, Reliance Intelligence promises AI to everyone, everywhere, and we shall deliver on this promise too. My dear shareholders, the Jio revolution is truly a result of the courage, creativity, and commitment of thousands of young Indian engineers. Before Jio, many believed that India could only import technology from the world. Our engineers proved otherwise. They built, tested, deployed, and operated technologies at unprecedented scale. Today, Jio is not merely integrating technology; it is creating original technology.
Reliance Intelligence offers an even bigger opportunity to our young engineers. They will get to work on problems of national scale and impact. They will build and deploy technology for 1.5 billion Indians. They will create India-born innovation that the world can adopt. To them, I say: come build with us and build for India. Build AI that serves humanity—AI that is powerful, trusted, yet affordable. AI that is fluent in every Indian language. AI that empowers farmers, students, doctors, shopkeepers, workers, creators, and families. AI that improves efficiency while creating more opportunities to work and prosper for every Indian. AI that contributes to productivity and job creation. We will give you the scale, the resources, the freedom, and the responsibility to solve some of the most important challenges of our age. I now invite Akash Ambani, managing director of Jio Platforms Limited. Akash leads Jio with passion, purpose, and a deep commitment to India's digital future, to tell you about the spectacular progress made and the even more spectacular future that will unfold.
Thank you. Respected chairman, your words, your guidance, and the faith you have bestowed upon the team at Jio inspire us to scale greater heights. My dear shareholders, in 10 years, Jio has reached an operational scale that is simply extraordinary. The Jio user base has crossed 524 million, cementing our number-one position. Our 5G subscriber base has crossed 268 million—the largest for any single-country operator outside China—with 77 million net additions during this year. On fixed broadband, Jio AirFiber has continued to scale rapidly after becoming the world's largest fixed wireless broadband operator last year. With 13 million connected homes, Jio AirFiber is making reliable home broadband available across the country at unprecedented scale and speed. Total data traffic on Jio's network in FY26 stood at 241 exabytes, growing 30.8% year-on-year, placing us amongst the largest data operators on the planet.
The financial results of FY26 are a fitting tribute to this journey. Jio Platforms delivered revenue of ₹1,46,885 crores, growing 14.6% year-on-year. EBITDA reached ₹76,255 crores, an 18.8% growth, with an EBITDA margin improving by 190 basis points to 51.9%. For the first time in our history, profit after tax crossed ₹30,000 crores, growing at 15.1% year-on-year. These numbers are proof of the trust India has placed in Jio. More importantly, they demonstrate that Jio's growth remains both broad-based and profitable.
Dear friends, the next chapter of Jio's growth will be powered by five commitments. First, to make Jio True 5G the foundation of India's next big digital leap. Our dedicated network slicing will enable a new tier of high-performance connectivity for consumers and enterprises. Our cyclic beamformed cell design significantly enhances coverage and capacity at high-footfall locations. Our target is to migrate all subscribers to 5G by 2030 whilst advancing India's leadership position in 6G standards. Second is to take high-speed home broadband to every part of India through Jio AirFiber. Our new non-line-of-sight capability has dramatically expanded the reach of home broadband to locations where fiber was never viable. Over 90% of Jio AirFiber installations are completed within 24 hours, and home connections are now growing at a phenomenal rate of up to 60,000 per day. Per-capita data usage has reached 42.3 GB per month—one of the highest in the world. This number will only grow as Jio migrates more Indians to 5G and as AI-enabled use cases proliferate.
Third is to digitize Indian enterprises and small businesses. The JioPC initiative, which delivers cloud compute to small businesses through a simple setup box, brings enterprise-grade technology within the reach of every micro, small, and medium business in India. Fourth is to ensure AI for everyone, everywhere. Jio is already embedding AI in consumer technology to deliver a smoother, smarter, and more personalized user experience. AI will make our networks more efficient, our homes more intelligent, our customer service more responsive, and our platforms more useful to every Indian. Fifth is to take India's technology to the world. The proprietary deep-tech stack at Jio, built for 5G, fixed wireless access, and AI services, is now ready for deployment with international partners in select geographies. The technology we built to solve for India's challenges will also serve the world and become a key pillar of our export strategy. As we launch more value-added services such as premium 5G, AI bundle services, and enterprise solutions, our ARPU will grow significantly.
Dear friends, there is one more frontier I would like to mention: satellite communications. Jio connected India on the ground; now we must connect India from the skies. There are still the remotest of villages, island communities, and border outposts where Jio network cannot reach. For them, satellite connectivity will be the bridge to the rest of India. Jio is evaluating the development of a sovereign low-Earth-orbit satellite constellation for India. We are also partnering with leading global constellation providers by leasing satellite capacity so that we can accelerate service availability while building our own long-term sovereign capability. This dual approach will enable Jio to meet India's connectivity needs faster while laying the foundation for the Indian satellite broadband platform of global scale. To anchor this ambition, Jio is also building its own ground-station infrastructure in India. These ground stations will support our partner constellations as well as our own future satellites, creating an end-to-end satellite broadband ecosystem from space to ground. With this initiative, Jio is strengthening India's atma-nirbharta in space, placing India firmly on the global satellite broadband services map.
All of these initiatives show that the best of Jio is yet to come. Dear shareholders, Reliance Intelligence—a new chapter in Reliance's deep-tech evolution—was announced last year by our chairman. Today I share with you the progress we are making in turning that vision into reality. Our first priority is to surmount the biggest hurdle for AI in India today: the scarcity and the high cost of compute. To address it, Reliance Intelligence is building India's sovereign AI backbone in Jamnagar. This cutting-edge infrastructure will be powered entirely by clean energy from Reliance's own solar generation from the K platform. The first 120 megawatts will be commissioned by the end of 2026.
In addition, we are operationalizing an initial fleet of advanced Nvidia GB300 GPUs. This next-generation compute capacity is equivalent to more than 75,000 H100 GPUs on an AI inference basis. As the first 120 megawatts become fully operational, this capacity can scale over two-lakh H100-equivalent GPUs. This capacity places Reliance amongst the largest AI infrastructure platforms being built anywhere in the world. When compute becomes affordable, innovation becomes inevitable.
Friends, our second priority is partnerships. No company, however large, can build the future alone. The right path is to combine the best global technologies with Indian execution, Indian infrastructure, Indian domain knowledge, and India-first governance. Our Google partnership has deepened into a truly AI-first collaboration for hundreds of millions of Jio users. Google AI Pro powered by Gemini is already accessible free of cost. Our second major partnership is a joint venture with Meta which operationalizes the Llama open-source AI for Indian enterprises. Reliance Intelligence will deliver sovereign hosting within India with full model transparency and portability that allows every enterprise to own its AI journey.
Dear friends, Reliance Intelligence is building trusted, affordable, multilingual AI services designed to be accessible in 22 Indian languages. This sovereign, green, secure compute backbone will power India-first AI applications such as JioBharat IQ, AI Vapar, JioHealth IQ, JioLearn IQ, and JioKrishi IQ. JioBharat IQ will make AI a companion for every Indian. AI Vapar will help small merchants and businesses improve productivity, serve customers better, and compete with confidence. JioHealth IQ will bring intelligent healthcare support closer to every family. JioLearn IQ will help students learn in their own language, at their own pace, and with confidence. JioKrishi IQ will help farmers make better decisions on crops, weather, resources, and income. Each of these services is designed around one simple principle: AI must be easy to use, trusted to rely on, and affordable for all. Together, these platforms will create a scalable foundation for consumer, enterprise, and government AI services.
Friends, we are simultaneously building a world-class team of AI researchers and engineers, investing in India's AI startup ecosystem, and collaborating with leading Indian universities and research institutions. Within Reliance itself, the transformation is unmistakable. At JIO, AI-native network management is already driving efficiency and quality at scale. At Reliance Retail, AI-embedded merchandising and supply chain optimization is reducing waste and improving product availability for millions of customers. At JioStar, AI is powering multilingual content creation. In our oil-to-chemicals operations, AI-driven process optimization is improving yield and reducing energy consumption.
Dear shareholders, just as Jio made data extremely affordable for every Indian, Reliance Intelligence will disrupt AI economics by making it dramatically more affordable for every Indian by the end of this decade. The JioBharat platform has already proved that Jio can put capable smart devices in the hands of Indians at ₹999. Now, with network-edge AI inference, we will bring advanced AI experiences to affordable devices. When AI becomes ubiquitous and easily accessible, India will not merely participate in the AI century—it will lead it. Unlike global AI platforms that build in English and translate later, Jio is building AI natively in Indian languages. So a farmer querying in Marathi or a student in Tamil gets an AI that thinks and replies in their language.
What we are building is an AI for India, AI by India, AI that will one day serve the world. To give you a glimpse of what lies ahead, we will now showcase some of Jio's latest innovations in AI. Across the world, AI has meant one thing: an app on your phone. And through it all, the phone call—the most natural thing we do—has stayed unchanged for decades. Today, Jio is doing something fundamentally different. Every day, Jio carries 20 billion minutes of voice, making us one of the largest voice carriers in the world. This is where India truly lives, talks, works, and connects. So we asked: why should AI sit outside the very place Indians interact the most? And so we are building AI directly into the heart of the Jio network. No app to download, no number to add—available to every Jio customer in every Indian language. Let us show you how we are working to bring intelligence to every Jio call. Just say, 'Hey Jio,' and your AI agent joins the call for as long as you like, always, and only with your consent.
The agent has multiple capabilities. It can transcribe calls. For example, on a conference call, it can identify up to 10 unique speakers and capture every word in their own language. It can summarize, sharing summaries, action items, and reminders with every participant after the call. It can act: ask it to order food, book a cab, reserve a table, or set up the meeting you just agreed to—all done on the same call. Your own concierge on every call, launching for Jio's 500-million-plus family later this year. Here is a quick demo.
Arjun is deep into a quarterly review call with five people when he realizes three colleagues who should be weighing in aren't on the line. He just says, 'Hey Jio, add three more participants to the call,' and they are dialed in. No fumbling for numbers, no separate conference bridge. Within seconds, the three of them are connected. Now eight people, and the call is running long. Arjun can't take notes and stay in the discussion, so he says, 'Hey Jio, start transcribing this meeting.' Transcribing the call now. Every participant gets a notification that the call is being recorded and transcribed with consent, and Jio begins capturing in real time, identifying each of the eight speakers by voice. Walking to the lift, tired, he says, 'Hey Jio, summarize the call for me and create action items for all.' Summary being generated. Clean minutes—the decisions and the action items tagged to each owner. His own two action items arrive as an SMS with a reminder already set.
On the drive home, he calls his wife. 'Hey Jio, call Ria.' Calling Ria. 'Hi.' 'Hi. Should I cook or a restaurant?' 'Papa, it's Friday.' 'So sorry, my papa forgot it's Friday.' On the same call, he says, 'Hey Jio, order a margarita pizza.' The AI call agent knows his usual outlet and saved address, asks the right two questions: 'You want regular or medium-sized pizza? How about adding Campa?' 'Yes, a medium-sized pizza with Campa.' And places the order. 'Okay, your order has been booked and your total is 748 rupees.' He confirms the price and places it. By the time he arrives home, the pizza has arrived and the family tradition continues.
I now invite my colleague Kiran to join me.
Thank you, Akash. Now let's talk about MyJio. MyJio is India's most-used self-care app with over 60 crore users. For a decade, it has been a place you go to recharge or to check your balance. With AI, something fundamental has changed. Think of the most capable person you know—the one who doesn't need to be told every step. You say what you want and they take it from there. This is what we call an AI agent. We are transforming MyJio from an app into a personalized Jio AI advisor and relationship manager. You no longer navigate MyJio; you say what you need and MyJio starts working. Are you shifting to a new city? Don't click through the screens. Just voice your intent and MyJio acts instantly. Here is a quick demo.
'Hey Vikram, how may I help you today?' 'I'm moving to Pune next month. How can I transfer my Jio Fiber?' 'Got it, Vikram. I can move your whole Jio Fiber setup with you. What's the new address in Pune?' 'B1204, Skyline Heights, Baner, Pune 411045.' 'Good news, that address is covered. Here's what I found. Pick an installation slot for the new place.' '15th July morning works for me.' 'Done. I've set everything in motion. Our agent Raji Sharma will contact you for transferring the Jio Fiber and I'll ping you a day before the installation. You're all set. Anything else for the move or shall I leave you to the packing?'
Traveling overseas? It finds the right roaming pack and sends real-time usage alerts. Here is a quick demo.
'Hey Vikram, tell me what you need and I'll take care of it.' 'I'm flying to Italy next week.' 'That sounds exciting. Italy is a great destination. To pick the right roaming pack, could you share your departure and return dates?' '25th June to 5th July.' 'Nice, that gives you 10 days in Italy. Here are the recommended packs that fit your window. Pick the one that suits how much data you'll need.' 'Recharge for 1551.' 'Perfect. I have completed your recharge. Your plan will auto-activate when you land in Italy. Have a great trip.'
Bought a new eSIM phone? It handles self-KYC and activates your phone in minutes. This is for every Indian, in all major Indian languages, voice and text. As always, privacy stays at the heart of it. MyJio acts only with your consent. Every action is logged and everything involving payment always needs your confirmation. You can see all of the demos on our website. Now, let's move to Jio Home.
Jio powered India's journey from voice to data to video, pioneering gigabit broadband for every Indian. Today we take the next leap. Jio Home's next-generation offering delivers multi-gigabit capability—up to 5 Gbps download and 1 Gbps upload—dedicated to your home through our multi-gigabit-ready Jio Fiber. But this is not about speeds; it is about what your family can do. Connected devices per home have grown manifold in five years, and this is only set to rise. We needed connectivity built to power that rise. One member streaming, another cloud gaming, a third on a video call, a child in an online immersive and interactive class—all at once, all flawless, nothing slows down. That is what 5 Gbps gives you: a breakthrough multi-gigabit wireless technology built in India.
Speed also changes how things feel. A large file that took minutes now lands in seconds. The latest AAA game—100 GB—streams whilst you pour a cup of chai, and you are playing before it's gone cold. This makes India ready for 8K multi-screen entertainment. This transforms work too. With 1 Gbps upload, your home becomes a true global workplace—real-time co-creation with teams anywhere in the world. And this is just the beginning. We are entering the era of spatial computing with volumetric video where AI and XR create interactive, immersive experiences. The opportunity is no longer just to connect homes to the internet; it is to turn every home into an intelligent home—a place to learn, play, work, and create at the speed of imagination.
The fastest broadband in the world should reach you just as fast. At Jio, the journey to a connected home should feel effortless from the very first moment you show interest—through our website, a missed call, or MyJio. So we are reimagining the entire home-connect journey from interest to go-live. It rests on two simple promises. First, within 15 minutes of showing interest, you will get a callback in your own language. It answers every question, helps you pick the right plan, books your home-connection slot, and stays with you throughout your go-home journey. Second, your Wi-Fi will go live within 24 hours, anywhere in India. This is connectivity the way Indian homes deserve it.
And finally, to our last announcement for the home: today we announce JioTeleFrame—the home for AI agents in your home. This is a family of Jio AI agents built for everyday life. AI agents for the day, for care, for guests, for entertainment, shopping, and of course the connected home. Every agent has a job; TeleFrame gives them one shared place to help, act, and stay visible to the family—always with permission and in every Indian language. These agents know you, your family, your routines, the room around you. They sense context and bring the right help forward without anyone opening apps, searching menus, or repeating what the home should already understand.
The school morning starts before anyone opens an app. TeleFrame knows the family is leaving soon, so the day agent brings up rain after 2 p.m., so you remember to carry umbrellas and raincoats, and the doctor appointment at 5:30. Planning a festival lunch? The guest agent sees the plan taking shape, checks who is arriving, suggests food dishes based on past family choices, builds the grocery list, and with one command places the order for the right delivery window. It can update the host when delivery is en route. At dinner, Papa is at the table, medicine is due, and the care agent reminds him before food. Match night begins with the India match. The agent opens JioHotstar, sets light and fan volume, and keeps score updates visible. Different agents, one home—a home that understands you and looks after the people in it.
Dear shareholders, let me now talk about our media and entertainment business. In FY26, JioStar completed a remarkable first year of full operations. Today, JioStar, Jio Studios, and Network18 together constitute India's most powerful media ecosystem. The business posted full-year revenue of ₹34,917 crores with an EBITDA of ₹5,842 crores and a net profit of ₹3,434 crores. JioStar remains India's leading television entertainment network with a 34.7% viewership share—nearly equal to the next three players combined. Every day, 389 million viewers choose our content across genres and languages.
On digital, JioStar has reached a scale that is amongst the largest in the world and the largest in India. The platform averaged 451 million monthly active users during the year. Our live-streaming capabilities continue to set global benchmarks. During the recent T20 World Cup where India was victorious, JioHotstar recorded a world-record 72.5 million concurrent viewers in India. Today, nine of the 10 highest global concurrency records belong to JioHotstar. IPL 2026 reached over 700 million viewers on our platform, demonstrating the unparalleled reach of our digital ecosystem. JioHotstar also became the first Indian paid OTT platform to cross 1 billion downloads and is now available on 99% of connected TVs in India. These milestones reflect a simple reality: whether on television or digital, JioStar and JioHotstar are where India comes to be entertained.
We launched multiple AI-driven platform initiatives in FY26. ChatGPT-powered conversational discovery with recognition of Indian accents and regional languages. JioStar's microcontent hub, Taka, launched in April this year, has already amassed more than 100 million users in under two months. The first-ever in-app commerce integration with Swiggy during IPL matches, which enabled food ordering without leaving the live video stream. We also pioneered interactivity features such as voting, live chat, and meme creation. More than 100 million unique users have used these features, generating over 11 billion interactions.
Now, let me introduce JioStar GenAI Media Studio, or simply JAMS. JAMS is an end-to-end AI-native content-production pipeline for Bharat, spanning the full journey from ideation and storytelling to image, audio, video, and final production workflows. Through JAMS, we aim to nurture a new generation of creative technologists who can combine storytelling with AI to produce premium-quality content for India and the world.
Every product decision, every experience we build is designed to put power, choice, and control firmly in the hands of the consumer. This philosophy has earned us the loyalty and trust of 500 million users on JioHotstar. Today, we are proud to present an exciting pipeline of innovations that will redefine how consumers experience entertainment and sports in the future—seamlessly woven into how they shop and engage across the JioHotstar ecosystem.
Let me take you through a feature that gives you your own personalized story engine. AI Snapshot builds you your own recap—every key moment stitched into a narrative right on your screen. Here is a demo to show you how it works.
Mera's been meaning to rewatch Arya for months. Season 3 just dropped. She jumps straight in. Ten minutes into Episode 1, Dolit appears on screen and is talking friendly with Arya. She freezes. Wait—wasn't he the one who killed her husband? She remembers the shock of that moment, but the why, the full shape of it, has gone fuzzy. She doesn't open a browser to search; she doesn't rewind to Season 1. She just asks, 'Why is Arya friends with Dolit? Didn't he kill her husband?' It builds the story for her: the early scenes, Dolit laughing at the serene dinner table, the small moments of tension she didn't notice the first time, the debts, the deals, the slow unraveling of a loyalty that was never what it seemed. Not a summary of what happened, but the reason it happened—assembled from a cross of storytelling in minutes. She hits play on the first scene. This time, when Dolit smiles at Arya, she knows exactly what that smile means.
For the first time ever, a marketplace is created on an entertainment platform where you can shop while you watch, without leaving your favorite content. Introducing content commerce on JioHotstar. Here is a closer look at how you can move from screen to cart seamlessly without leaving your screen. You are watching Durandur on your phone when something on screen catches your eye—a sherwani—and just like that you want it. Instead of searching, you tap on the shop button right inside JioHotstar. The AI reads the frame in real time, identifying every outfit on screen. The exact items you are looking at appear tagged and priced. The shop panel brings it all together with retailer information, pricing, and alternatives in one marketplace. You find the one you like and tap buy now. It fetches your delivery address and payment details—no forms to fill. The order is confirmed and you are right back to watching Durandur. From inspiration to intent to purchase, all in a few minutes without leaving your screen.
At JioHotstar, we understand that you have diverse interests and want to watch multiple feeds all at once but don't want to choose between entertainment, sports, or news. We have ensured you can watch it all on one screen, side by side. Here is a glimpse of multi-view in action.
Vikram has a problem most people would envy. India are in a tense chase. The tension is building ball by ball. Breaking news is also rolling in—election results, state by state, constituency by constituency, too close to ignore. Moreover, Bigg Boss eliminations are happening. Any other day he'd have to choose, but not today. He picks up his remote and builds his screen. The match—he needs to watch every ball of this chase. He adds the news channel to track state results live as they are declared. Next up, Bigg Boss eliminations. And lastly, he adds another news channel in Bengali—a different desk, but same urgency. He switches from the match to see who is trailing and who is winning. He notices an interview happening on the news channel in Bengali. Four things, one screen—silent, present, there when he needs to be.
