At the 45th annual general meeting (AGM), Reliance Jio announced that it is working with Google to develop ultra-affordable 5G smartphones for India. This comes after the launch of JioPhone Next last year.
The company also said that it will also leverage the advanced capabilities of Google Cloud to offer Jio’s Private 5G stack and other 5G-enabled solutions to both domestic and global users at scale.
Jio said that it is working with Meta in realising its vision of bringing the benefits of immersive technology to everyone. “We believe India’s vibrant digital ecosystem will play a critical role in shaping the metaverse and bring new possibilities in Education, Healthcare and Commerce 4.0,” said the company.
Jio also announced its partnership with Microsoft to expand the Azure ecosystem in India, and to develop a vibrant ecosystem of cloud enabled business applications and solutions, especially for small and medium businesses.
It is also working with Intel on technologies used in Jio’s cloud-scale data centres and 5G Edge locations, as well as in infrastructure for cutting-edge applications like Articial Intelligence.
The company said that it has well-established relationships with
leading global network technology providers such as Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung and Cisco.

Regarding the partnership, Qualcomm CEO, Cristiano Amon, said that he is excited to be working together on cloud-native, scalable, and flexible 5G
