He said, “I assure you that Jio will pioneer the 5G revolution in India in the second half of 2021. It will be powered by an indigenous-developed network, hardware, and technology components. I can say with utmost confidence that 5G will enable India to not only participate in the fourth industrial revolution but also to lead it.”
He further urged the government to develop the policies required to ease the migration of the underprivileged 2G population to economical smartphones so that they can enjoy the benefits of a faster and smarter digital economy.

“As the digitalisation of the Indian economy and Indian society picks up speed, the demand for digital hardware will grow enormously. India has developed world-class strengths in chip design. I clearly foresee India becoming a major hub for state-of-the-art semiconductor industry. When all the stakeholders work together, we can surely ensure that India’s success in hardware will match our success in software,” he further added.
