BIG DATA PLAY

Ever since the launch of the Jio brand, the Reliance AGM event has become a must-watch not only for investors but for the industry as well. The technologies and services announced at these events end up having a long-lasting impact on the entire country, with dozens of competitors scrambling to counter the fantastical dreams that Mukesh Ambani sells like candy. We have already witnessed it happen twice, in the telecom as well as the broadband segments. This year, the company has shifted another gear and decided to bring the pricing war to the rapidly developing digital services market. The technologies in focus are blockchain, IoT, and edge computing.

To most people, these are just fancy names for boring tech, but for companies that operate in this space; these are the tools for tapping into the digital nerve of the entire country. To understand this better, let us explore the applications and implications of each technology.
