Reliance Jio has signed deals with broadcasters such as Star India, Zee Entertainment Enterprises (ZEE), Sony Pictures Networks India, Network18, Eros International, Shemaroo, Balaji Telefilms, Venus and Rajshri Productions, to gcontent on its platform.
"We are providing very high speed data and expect more and more users to experience it," a Jio official told ET.
While announcing a host of services such as cheap data and free voice calls, Ambani said Reliance Jio's plan is to offer high speed data with top notch content.
Following its agreement with Jio, Star India had removed its content from all other platforms like Hotstar, which is now available on Jio app.
"Unlike on other platforms like Airtel, where a consumer has to subscribe to our service, here Jio will pay us and consumer can access the content," Jyoti Deshpande, group CEO at Eros International, told ET.
