Well, as we know it all started with a big bang when the chairman announced free data for all in September. Today, the telco now has 125 million subscribers and counting. According to him, the subscriber base has grown at a rate of 7 customers per second. While the rapid growth stage was during the early stage when the telecom market was coming to grips with the new entrant, Reliance Jio grew to 100 million in a matter of 6 months. From the date of the debut, that is just 170 days. No doubt, at that time it was one of the fastest growing brands leaving behind biggies like WhatsApp, Skype, and Facebook.
After the free data run ended, Reliance Jio managed to keep hold of most of its consumers. Most of the paid subscribers switching from the free service introduced earlier. Moreover, majority of the paid subscription was for the Rs. 309 4G Plan which was a great success. More statistical data worth celebrating for the company was revealed at the meet.
