How is Reliance Jio making products without high TC?

Jul 15, 2020 42 Comments

Jio Meet (Zoom)
Jio Glasses
Jio TV+ (combines all streaming with SSO and easy search and filter across all services, I don't know if such service even exists)
Jio Pay
Jio Mart (Amazon + Aliexpress)
Jio News
Jio Chat

Indian government also developed UPI for payment, DigiLocker (no need to carry physical documents like license, insurance, car registration - verified copy is available on the app and is equivalent to physical copy). Payment landscape is more advanced in India than the US!

RuPay (competing Mastercard and Visa)

Neither Indian government nor Jio pays high TC. The high paying TC companies like Swiggy, Zomato are struggling to profit and just have a food delivery while Jio is making products at much bigger scale!

How are they doing it?!

  • Indian developers spend time building products while US developers spent time on leetcoding their ass off their entire life for high TC

  • Frankly, after so much India bashing on blind in the last few months, it's refreshing to see this news. It's hilarious when people maintaining/tweaking web apps for so called unicorns and Big Tech rant about the lack of innovation and creativity from India and Indian engineers. The word Innovation itself has been diluted these days, thanks to the stock market rally.

    Difference between Indian engineers in India and US is not of quality but of greed.

  • There is not much difference in quality between Indian engineers working in FAANG in US vs those working in product based companies in India and currently less than 20% of 1.5 million STEM graduates are moving out of India, rest are staying back.

    Also Jio pay decently well to attract them for a good lifestyle in Mumbai, much more than service based companies.

    and few more jio products:

      Their quality is trash, but, since they are trying to create a monopoly by giving stuff out for free and bankrupting their competitors. Quality won't matter because there will be no alternatives.

    • The ratings are still 4+ on Play Store.
      If you remember Skype, Hangouts, even FB was consistently trash product (the app) for years when they launched and they slowly improved it.
      Zoom is not launched yesterday, it is around since years. Quality will improve by time.

      If you launch a polished product in your v1, you are too late to the market (unsaid SWE rule, go out and capture the market rather than waiting for polished product, the product will never be polished enough).
      It will improve by time!

    Dude everything is like linked to fingerprints. India went through a voluntary (more like compulsory) collection of fingerprints from people. Now, basically all services are kind of linked through your fingerprints, and one ID.
