Shah Rukh Khan may be brand ambassador for Reliance Jio

Shah Rukh Khan, who was earlier the brand ambassador for telecom major Airtel, is now expected to be the brand ambassador for Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Jio.

Reliance Jio Infocomm will launch its much-delayed but eagerly awaited 4G services on December 27, but only for group employees. The commercial launch is widely expected to be around April-May of 2016, by when the group would have spent around Rs1,00,000 crore in buying airwaves, setting up its telecom and retail network and on human resources and marketing, among others.

The launch by the telecom unit of Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries (RIL) - a complimentary one for all group employees across India - will come on the eve of RIL founder Dhirubhai Ambani's 83rd birth anniversary.

Musician AR Rahman too is expected to perform in the event.
