Mega thread on how the India’s Largest Telecom Operator – Reliance Jio (~35% market share) came into existence & became India’s Largest Mobile Broadband in less than 2 years.

Crazy story...no less than revolution..

Please retweet and comment below if you got blown away..

(1/n)

 1 >> It was year 2011...year of spark

"The idea of Jio was first seeded by Ambani’s daughter, Isha, in 2011. She was a student at Yale (in the US) and was home for holidays. She wanted to submit some coursework and she said, 'Dad, the internet in our house sucks'," he recalled.
2) There was opportunity...

What was that?

That big thing...that will change India forever...for good..

Ambani said - Akash, at that time, stated that in the old world, telecom was the voice and people made money on calls but in the new world everything is DIGITAL...!!
3) That was it - DIGITAL

One simple but powerful idea..high speed internet is future

After the conversation, he researched more about it & found out that India was suffering from poor connectivity of data & prices were high which was not affordable to majority of Indians.
4) But it was not easy...

Dream was BIG...but it was game-changer...

After years of planning & research, Jio was finally launched on 5th September, 2016.

There was lot of competition...but Winning is their DNA..
5) To lure users in India, Jio offered free data and free calls. On hearing this, consumers all over India started lining up to get Jio SIM cards.

It clicked...Indian customers loved it..

Digital revolution 2.0 in India just got started...

Digital Bharat..affordable cost..
6) And something crazy happened..really crazy..

Reliance Jio extended the free usage period for Jio services to its existing and new customers till March 31, 2017.

Jio reached the 100 million user mark in the first 170 days, adding consumers at an average of 600,000 a day.
7) Jio also launched “world’s most affordable4G LTE smartphone” with a deposit of Rs.1500/-.

It has been reported that around 6 million units of Jio Phone were booked within three days of its pre-booking that started on August 24.

And then came FIBER....yes...the new age gold.
8) After success in mobile internet revolution...it did not stop..

They first announced as Jio GigaFiber in 2018 at the Reliance Industries 41st AGM. Later renamed Jio Fiber, it did commercial launch on September 5, 2019

This was truely a revolution..

How did it transform?
9) Ambani announced at Reliance Industries’ 42nd annual general meeting that the Jio Fiber base plan with a 100Mbps speed would start at Rs 700.

And this was just part of the game...

There was a bigger game..
10) The company also shared its plans to launch ‘Jio forever’ data plans, in which a free 4K LED television will be bundled with a Jio Fiber connection set-top box.

So it's mobile + Broadband + OTT..

Truely - Karlo DIGITAL duniya mutthi mai..😀

Game-changing...
11) RIL won 'Drivers of Change' award for its "exceptional commitment to innovation-led, exponential growth within the areas of hydrocarbon exploration and production, petroleum refining and marketing, petrochemicals, retail and 4G digital services."

And market also rewarded it
12) After many years of stagnant share price due to old economy oil refining business concerns..finally it got rewarded..

Why not - it was thinking about FUTURE..

Yes...and the future is surely DIGITAL..

What it do to INDIA?
13) Whatever happened to company, competition and the market

But one thing is for sure...it changed the DIGITAL landscape of INDIA forever..for good..

And transformed lives of crores of Indians

Biggest mistake many investors make in highly cyclical sectors like steel, sugar, metals etc.

is that...during upcycle they assume earnings to be structural and get swayed away by optically low valuation thinking it as value buy..

Result... averaging down during fall n disaster

@Sanjay__Bakshi @iancassel Thanks Sir for amazing insights as always.

To fight some of these "bad demons" I keep doing experiments like averaging up..

Also, during feeling of high PE or market overvaluation, I try not to take profit, but trail exit and give room of 20-35% drawdown to excellent businesses

@iancassel Also, I am experimenting few indicators which will help me re-enter known great business again (even if I exited at lower price) and help remove price anchoring in objective way..

Let's see how it pans out..

But yes... ultimately anyhow we need to conquer these demons 😀

To people who are under the impression that you can get rich quickly by working on an app, here are the stats for https://t.co/az8F12pf02

📈 ~12000 vistis
☑️ 109 transactions
💰 353€ profit (285 after tax)

I have spent 1.5 months on this app. You can make more $ in 2 days.

🤷‍♂️


I'm still happy that I launched a paid app bcs it involved extra work:

- backend for processing payments (+ permissions, webhooks, etc)
- integration with payment processor
- UI for license activation in Electron
- machine activation limit
- autoupdates
- mailgun emails

etc.

These things seemed super scary at first. I always thought it was way too much work and something would break. But I'm glad I persisted. So far the only problem I have is that mailgun is not delivering the license keys to certain domains like https://t.co/6Bqn0FUYXo etc. 👌

omg I just realized that me . com is an Apple domain, of course something wouldn't work with these dicks

Ok, here is a thread for you.
What happens when you have:
Netflix
Apple
Amazon
WarnerMedia +
Disney+
SonyCrackle (Reboot)
Verizon All Access (after they buy CBS/Viacom)
UniversalSkyMedia
By 2021
Answer? Internet Slows To A Craw and Dies.
Why?
Bandwidth.

Netflix's gets 35% of all internet traffic.
Now we all know Apple Coming to Netflix Corner.
We know that WarnerMedia Planning One
We Know about Disney+
Now how will the net handle 8 Streaming Platforms all at once?
Answer - IT CANT.

But Novid, the speed, the 4K the all everything?
NOOOOO BUDDY.
Even if you could do it and even if AWS ran six million clouds, The Net Will still slow to a crawl. 35%, goes to nearly 90% if any of the 8 or all of the 8 eat at netflix's numbers.

Oh, they wouldn't be running at once.
FOOL. You forget how bad things were when game of thrones season premieres came around. HBO SERVERS FALL DOWN GO BOOM!

Now see if a season like 2021 come around and they air shows on a same day. It gets crazy. AT&T and others gonna realize they cant build out forever. Something will give and it might be your entertainment consumption big time.

THE BATTLE OF TALIKOTA and the destruction of Vijaynagar (Hampi)
26 January 1565

A tale of valor, deception and decimation.

A grim reminder that if we fail to protect our heritage, it will eventually crumble under the onslaught of "forces of anarchy".
(Elaborate thread)


This decisive battle was fought between the Vijayanagara empire and the Deccan sultanates resulting in a rout of Vijayanagara and ending the last major medieval era Hindu kingdom in south India.(1)

The seeds of 1565 encounter were sown more than 250 years earlier when the forces of the Delhi Sultanate, during the time of Alauddin Khilji and later Md Bin Tughlaq swept through southern India in an expansion spree.(2)

By middle of the 14th century, facing rebellions, Tughlaq withdrew to Delhi, leaving behind 2 empires, Bahmani, which ruled the Deccan from Kalaburagi, and Vijayanagara, which ruled most south India with its capital at Vijayanagar.(3)

The Raichur Doab, between the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers, existed as a natural boundary between these two kingdoms, with wars often breaking out over control of this territory.(4)

I think I'm giving up on mainstream marketing content.

I'm giving up on social media consumption too.

So little substance.

Need to devote more time doing. More time creating.

Who needs another "5 ways to boost growth" post? I click and am disappointed every time. Not again.

I don't want to poop on content marketing, but marketers need to step it up.

Or at least, founders need to know that doing something is not always better than doing nothing.

Why is content marketing not as effective as it used to be? An innumerable amount of factors...

But one things for damn sure.

Things have to change.

Two of the chief sins:
1. Unoriginal research/story/study/etc
2. Not having anything more to add that's meaningful

Why blog/podcast/vlog/etc about something that's already been said? Already been done?

Do we really need another interview with founder of x hot startup? Do we really need another ultimate guide about facebook ads?

Not all content is like this...

Sometimes, you get an occasional piece that truly leaves you better off than you were before. That doesn't make you want to skim.

An original case study. A first time interview with a founder. An honest account of an experiment. An explanation of a change, shift, or realization.

For fun I made a Robinhood account. It took me 5 minutes to sign up, get approved and transfer funds for trading...

Here's some details... Read on.

...it took me another 5 minutes to get qualified for options.

If I share a sign up I get "free shares" and I can share as much as I want up to 500$ worth.

The main UI has a prepopulated "list" of stocks/crypto to watch and links to news.


Clicking a stock opens a "trade" button that looks like this.

Notice options is first, buy second.

Options took me to an approval process (which took about a minute) and now away I go trading Baba options.


Buying stock looks like this. It emphasizes fractional shares.
