Jio's Jiomeet Indian version of Zoom

MUKESH AMBANI ALL SET TO BUMP OFF THE DRAGON-RELATED "ZOOM" FROM BHARAT'S DIGITAL LANDSCAPE!

Dragon's dumping game aided by the UPA, fast drowning in the quicksands of Bharat's retaliation!

1. Asia’s wealthiest person Mukesh  Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd., which has scored billions of dollars of investments from Facebook Inc. to Intel Corp. for its digital businesses, has launched the JioMeet video conferencing app after beta testing. (The app has already garnered more than 100,000 downloads on the Google Play Store after becoming available Thursday evening). 

2. Like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and other services, JioMeet offers unlimited high-definition calls — but unlike Zoom, it doesn’t impose a 40-minute time limit. (Calls can go on as long as 24 hours, and all meetings are encrypted and password-protected, the company said on the JioMeet website). 

3. The app is one facet of Ambani’s rapidly expanding digital empire, which includes India’s largest telecom operator with nearly 400 million users. On Friday, Reliance announced Intel Capital has invested $253 million into Jio Platforms Ltd., a unit of Ambani’s oil-to-retail conglomerate. (The U.S. chip maker's arm is the 11th investor in about as many weeks to announce its backing for the digital services platform, which has now raised about 1.2 trillion rupees ($15.7 billion).

4. AMAZON, GOOGLE, BEWARE!

Jio Platforms is amassing a wide range of services from music streaming to online retail and payments, fast turning into an eCommerce juggernaut that can take on Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Amazon.com Inc on its own home turf. Like elsewhere, video conferencing apps have become lifelines for millions of Indians working in cramped homes during Covid-19 lockdowns.

5. JioMeet is also debuting at a time Zoom users have accused the service of security flaws. (It’s been accused of siding with China after deactivating accounts of pro-democracy activists in the U.S and Hong Kong, which it said was intended to comply with Chinese law).
