Reliance Jio Infocomm Chairman Akash Ambani praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, describing him as a guiding light for his vision in the digital industry. Speaking at the Indian Mobile Congress (IMC) 2026, Ambani stated that the company's mission is to enable disruptive services for consumers and become a creator of technology. This aligns with the 10-year mission of Jio, which has been focused on becoming a technology creator rather than just a consumer.
The 10th edition of IMC, inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi, has set the stage for India's next decade of digital transformation. Jio aims to connect the next billion and enable the next billion possibilities, positioning Bharat as a global hub for telecom, technology, and innovation.
Ambani emphasized that the biggest message from Prime Minister Modi's mission was to become a technology creator. Jio has been on this path for the past 10 years and marks a significant milestone. At the event, Jio unveiled its satellite connectivity vision, highlighting a proposed constellation of around 1,600 low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.
The company plans to set up 23 ground stations across India to ensure connectivity in areas where terrestrial networks are difficult to deploy. This initiative, called "sovereign satellite connectivity," aims to keep the entire value chain within India, from design to operations.
