Isha Ambani’s Jio Idea
Isha was inducted into the boards of Reliance Retail and Jio, in October 2014. In fact, dad Mukesh credited Isha with the idea of Jio as a disruptive mobile Internet brand. He said in a media-meet, “The idea of Jio was first seeded by my daughter, Isha in 2011. She was a student at Yale (in the US) and had come home for holidays. She was supposed to submit some coursework. She said, “Dad, the internet in our house, sucks.”
This was no too far away in time (in 2016 and before), when India was suffering from poor data connectivity and artificially inflated Internet data costs. Almost all Internet mobile-data providers were holding customers at ransom by charging high costs for data. Jio launched in 2016, as one of the most big-budgeted startups in the world, and turned India into the world’s largest mobile Internet data consuming nation in the world! Thanks to Isha and her brother Akash’s idea; and Mukesh Ambani’s strategy and execution, Jio made data affordable and abundant throughout the nation. Of course, Jio, the game-changer, went on to give a tough time to all the rivals, upstaging them like never before.
In April 2016, Isha Ambani launched AJIO, an online fashion e-tailer, an online subsidiary of Reliance Retail. Isha’s duties includes strategizing, branding and management aspects of the brand.
