<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Reliance-Jio-1024x576.jpg?x44794" alt="Reliance Jio" class="wp-image-594516" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Reliance-Jio-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Reliance-Jio-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Reliance-Jio-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Reliance-Jio-696x392.jpg 696w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Reliance-Jio-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Reliance-Jio-747x420.jpg 747w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Reliance-Jio.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<h2>Jio Will Also Launch a New OS for Televisions</h2>



<p><a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/bharat-gpt/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bharat GPT</a>, developed as a potential competitor to ChatGPT, is a large-scale language model tailored to India&#8217;s diverse needs. Jio plans to implement <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/artificial-intelligence/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">artificial intelligence</a> (AI) across its wide range of products and services. Ambani highlighted that <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/ai/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI</a> would not be confined to a single area within Jio but would spread across the company&#8217;s entire spectrum of products and services. This approach indicates a significant shift towards AI-driven solutions, emphasizing Jio&#8217;s strategy to be a forerunner in AI application across multiple domains.</p>



<p>In addition to Bharat GPT, Jio is also developing its own television operating system. This move is seen as a strategic step to enter the competitive TV OS market, which is currently dominated by Android TV OS. The details about whether Jio&#8217;s TV OS will be entirely proprietary or based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project) remain unclear. However, this development signals Jio&#8217;s ambition to expand its technological footprint beyond telecommunications and into consumer electronics, particularly in the rapidly evolving smart TV segment.</p>



<p>Ambani&#8217;s confidence in India&#8217;s market potential and AI growth is evident. He envisions India as a primary hub for innovation over the next decade and anticipates the country&#8217;s economy reaching USD 6 trillion by 2030.</p>



<p>Furthermore, <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/jio/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jio</a> is prioritizing the provision of customized 5G private networks and aims to offer a comprehensive <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/5g/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">5G</a> stack to enterprises of all sizes.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/reliance/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reliance </a>is apparently planning on shelling out billions of dollars to acquire <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/disney-hotstar/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Disney+Hotstar</a> in India. Recent rumors have hinted at Disney exiting the Indian market. For this, the company is also looking to sell its local assets and Reliance might be the buyer.</p>



<h2>Reliance May Buy Out Disney+Hotstar</h2>



<p>According to the previous report, Disney was in talks with Sun TV, Adani Group, and Reliance Industries for the potential acquisition. Now, the latest rumor hints that the deal could close soon with Mukesh Ambani&#8217;s Reliance Group. The transaction would involve Reliance acquiring a major control stake in the business, although both parties are expected to be in the negotiation stage to decide the exact valuation for the deal. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="538" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DisneyHotstar-Acquisition-1024x538.jpg?x44794" alt="Disney+Hotstar" class="wp-image-577338" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DisneyHotstar-Acquisition-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DisneyHotstar-Acquisition-300x158.jpg 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DisneyHotstar-Acquisition-768x403.jpg 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DisneyHotstar-Acquisition-696x365.jpg 696w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DisneyHotstar-Acquisition-1068x561.jpg 1068w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DisneyHotstar-Acquisition-800x420.jpg 800w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DisneyHotstar-Acquisition.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>While initial rumors claimed that Disney is looking to completely exit the Indian market, a Bloomberg report believes that the company only wants to sell a controlling stake rather than completely letting go of its Indian unit. The news from Bloomberg adds that Disney is near a multi-billion dollar deal with Reliance Industries. If this deal goes through, then a vast part of the Disney+Hotstar OTT platform, including its TV channels like Star Sports and Star Gold, could fall under Reliance. </p>



<p>Disney is reportedly asking for 10 billion US Dollars for Hotstar and Star India. However, Reliance isn&#8217;t agreeing with this evaluation, instead valuing it for around 7 to 8 billion US Dollars. Interestingly enough, the company acquiring Disney+Hotstar implies that the Ambani led group could gain control over the TV streaming rights of cricket in the Indian market. This is a big deal considering the immense popularity of the sport in the region.</p>

<h2><strong>JioPhone 5G</strong></h2>



<p>Rumors are rife that Reliance Jio’s first 5G-enabled smartphone which is tentatively dubbed the JioPhone 5G will debut through the 2023 AGM meeting. According to a previous <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/2022/01/25/jiophone-5g-full-specs-sheet-and-launch-timeline-revealed/">report</a> by <em>Android Central, </em>the JioPhone 5G will arrive with a 6.5-inch IPS LCD HD+ display boasting a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels. Under the hood, it is expected to feature the <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/snapdragon-480">Snapdragon 480</a> chipset, supported by 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage.</p>

<p>According to a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-indias-reliance-jio-launch-4g-enabled-low-cost-laptop-184-sources-2022-10-02/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Reuters</em> </a>report, the Indian company is planning on launching Jio&#8217;s laptop in India for a price tag under 15,000 INR. The new laptop will apparently be called the JioBook, with Reliance partnering with tech giants Qualcomm and Microsoft for the upcoming notebook. So under the hood, the laptop will have a chip from Qualcomm with Microsoft providing support for applications on the Reliance JioBook.</p>
<p>Notably, the report further adds that the new Jio laptop will be launched for enterprise customers later this month. In other words, the new laptop will be made available for educational and government institutions. On the other hand, the JioBook will be made commercially available for customers within the next three months. This would mean that the device will be releasing sometime by the end of this year. Although, Reliance has yet to confirm any of this information.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this report with a pinch of salt for now. Notably, the JioBook will be made locally in India by contract manufacturer Flex with Jio aiming to sell &#8220;hunders of thousands” of units by March of next year, as per one of the sources. This laptop will also run on Jio&#8217;s proprietary JioOS operating system and apps can be downloaded from the JioStore.</p>

<p>According to the report, the Jio Phone 5G is codenamed &#8220;Ganga&#8221; and has the model number &#8220;LS1654QB5&#8221;. The device is expected to have a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD screen with a refresh rate of 90Hz. The Snapdragon 480 processor, which is Qualcomm&#8217;s entry-level 5G SoC, powers the device. This processor will be paired with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.</p>
<p>The device is also said to have a 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. The device also has a dual rear camera setup on the back, with a 13MP main camera and a 2MP secondary lens. For optics, it is expected to have an 8MP camera on the front. The operating system will be based on Android 12, and because it is expected to have 4GB of RAM, we can expect the full version of Android OS rather than the Android Go Edition. Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.1, and a Syntiant NDP115 always-on AI processor are also included.</p>
<p>Considering these leaks, the Jio Phone 5G appears to be a decent entry-level 5G device at the Rs 8,000-12,000 price point.</p>

<p>Several bands of the 5G spectrum were bought by Reliance Jio, including the 700MHz, 800MHz, 1800MHz, 3300MHz, and 26GHz bands. Jio, owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, has stated that India will soon see a 5G rollout. The recently appointed Reliance Jio Chairman, Akash Ambani, announced that the business would roll out 5G throughout all of India in honor of &#8220;Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav.&#8221;</p>
<p>In order to commemorate &#8220;Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav,&#8221; Reliance Jio claimed it will bring out &#8220;the world&#8217;s most advanced 5G network throughout India.&#8221; When India commemorates its 75th anniversary of independence on August 15, the company may disclose some information.</p>
<p>Jio placed the highest offer at the 5G spectrum auction, purchasing bands for Rs 88,078 crore. This includes the highly sought-after 700MHz 5G spectrum, which is supposed to provide a stronger signal.</p>
<p>The telco has over 400 million active users. Jio further stated that its 5G solution is made in India, by Indians and to suit the need of every Indian. “Jio is fully ready for 5G rollout in the shortest period of time because of its nationwide fiber presence, all-IP network with no legacy infrastructure, indigenous 5G stack, and strong global partnerships across the technology ecosystem,” the company further said in its <a href="https://www.ril.com/getattachment/d817e2ef-6c98-4df5-8130-b1b6f6823a36/Jio-Gets-Ready-to-Roll-out-the-World%E2%80%99s-Most-Advanc.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a>.</p>
<p>Jio’s arch-rival Airtel was the second highest bidder. Airtel bought 19,867 MHz airwaves across different bands for Rs 43,084 crore. Vodafone Idea (Vi) bought spectrum for Rs 18,784 crore. 5G services are expected to roll out in India by October.</p>

<p>The figures get more impressive when put up against the Reliance-owned Indian telecom company&#8217;s highest average 4G data download speed of 21.9 Mbps. Compared to 4G, 5G achieves around 20 times faster download speeds, meaning your 4K movie downloads should take only a matter of minutes. Real-world performance once 5G actually rolls out will most likely differ from these controlled pilot test results &#8212; but let&#8217;s just marvel at those triple-digit speeds for now.</p>
<p>Speaking of rollouts, 5G in India is expected to reach <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/2021/12/28/5g-confirmed-to-go-live-in-2022-in-india-and-these-13-cities-will-get-it-first/">13 metro cities</a> before the end of this year, according to the Department of Telecom (DoT). Jio appears to be leading the race and recently even announced that it has completed its 5G rollout plans in around 1,000 cities in the country.</p>
<p>Earlier last year, Jio had managed to <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/2021/06/16/jio-starts-indian-5g-trials-in-mumbai/">reach speeds of 1 Gbps</a> as part of its 5G field tests. These were obviously performed with the operator having complete control over the situations though, so users shouldn&#8217;t expect to see Gbps-class speeds anytime soon. Further, Gbps speeds can only be achieved when the network utilizes the millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum, which is something no telecom provider appears to be interested in presently.</p>
<p>Current 5G implementations seem to be favoring distance over speeds, utilizing sub-6GHz frequencies that can hit a few hundred Mbps tops but also cover much wider coverage areas.</p>
<p>Jio will be joined by Airtel and Vi rolling out their respective 5G networks in India in late 2022 and early 2023.</p>

<p>There will also be a &#8220;Translate&#8221; feature that will let users have any screen translated to a language of their choice. In the <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/camera">camera department</a>, the JioPhone will come with a “smart and powerful camera,&#8221; which is likely to be a 13-megapixel sensor.</p>
<p>It will support multiple photography modes such as portrait mode, night mode, and more. Users will also get “custom Indian augmented reality filters&#8221; to enhance the pictures by associating them with “emotions and festivities.&#8221;</p>
<p>A recent leak of the phone through Google Play Console listing reveals that it will feature an HD display with a screen resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels. It will be powered by the Qualcomm <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/2019/07/09/snapdragon-215-soc-unveiled-with-64-bit-cpu-dual-camera-and-199-aspect-ratio-support/">Snapdragon 215 SoC</a>. It may be offered in two variants &#8212; 2GB RAM with 16GB storage and 3GB RAM with 32GB storage.</p>
<p>The phone is expected to come powered by a 2,500mAh battery. While the pricing and availability details still remain unknown, it will probably be priced between ₹5,000 (~$66) and ₹7,000 (~$93) in the Indian market.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The JioPhone Next is unlike the older LYF-branded smartphones from Reliance.

<p>It is currently under testing at the manufacturing facilities of Wingtech Mobiles, Dixon Technologies, UTL Neolyncs, and Flextronics Technologies, says the report. As previously noted, the phone is likely to be priced around $50 and the pre-booking could start in the coming months in India.</p>
<p>Citing one of the top executives, the report adds that Google&#8217;s job is to optimize the software of the device while Chinese Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) Wingtech will design the hardware while other vendors will be assembling the device.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a possibility that the upcoming smartphone&#8217;s specifications and pricing could be announced at <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/reliance">Reliance</a>&#8216;s Annual General Meeting (AGM) which is scheduled on 24th June but the actual sale date could be a few weeks or months later.</p>

<p>According to an <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/tech-bytes/reliance-partners-google-facebook-in-seeking-nue-licence-from-rbi/articleshow/81237979.cms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>EconomicTimes</em> </a>report (Via <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-india-reliance-facebook-google-idUSKBN2AR0CP" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Reuters</em></a>), three unnamed sourced have revealed that the Indian conglomerate and Infibeam were in advanced stages of submitting their proposal for a digital payment service to the nation&#8217;s central bank, Reserve Bank of India (RBI). For those unaware, RBI invited various companies to make a new umbrella entities (NUE) to create payment networks that would rival the system operated by the National Payments Council of India (NPCI).</p>
<p>Unfortunately, a spokesperson for Infibeam has declined to comment on the report at the moment, adding that the company was bound by confidentiality of process. Meanwhile, Reliance, Google, and even Facebook have yet to respond on the matter. Furthermore, Facebook and Google are already partnered with the Indian giant and also own stakes in Jio Platforms, Reliance&#8217;s unit that runs the company&#8217;s music, movie and telecom services.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-357482 aligncenter" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/google-logo-2.jpg?x44794" alt="Google Logo Featured" width="640" height="432" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/google-logo-2.jpg 640w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/google-logo-2-300x203.jpg 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/google-logo-2-622x420.jpg 622w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
<p>Notably, RBI extended the deadline for all partners to submit NUE applications until 31st March 2021 from 26th February 2021 earlier this week. Additionally, the central bank of the country is expected to take another six months to study all the proposals that are being submitted, and is not expected to give more than two new &#8220;for-profit&#8221; NUE licenses. Similar to the aforementioned brands, RBI has also declined to comment on the matter as well.</p>

<p>As per a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-amazon-com-india-future-reliance/amazon-scores-indian-win-as-court-freezes-futures-3-4-billion-retail-deal-idUSKBN2A221X" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Reuters</em> </a>report, the court&#8217;s decision is a major setback towards Future and could impact the retail landscape in India. For those unaware, the Future Group is India&#8217;s second largest retailer, with over 1,700 stores under its belt. The group had entered into a deal with Reliance for the sale of its retail businesses last year. But now, the court blocking the deal could be disastrous to the company, which stated that it faces liquidation if the deal fails.</p>
<p>The reason why Amazon is fighting the legal battle with Future is due to a previous deal it had with the retail giant back in 2019. According to the major e-commerce based firm, both Amazon and Future entered into a deal back in 2019, with one of the clauses prohibiting the Indian retailer from selling their assets to anyone on a &#8220;restricted persons&#8221; list that included Reliance. This led to a legal face off between the two corporations, which are led by two of the world&#8217;s richest men, Jeff Bezos and Mukesh Ambani.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_300816" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-300816" style="width: 1401px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-300816 size-full" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Jeff-Bezos.jpg?x44794" alt="Amazon" width="1401" height="862" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Jeff-Bezos.jpg 1401w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Jeff-Bezos-300x185.jpg 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Jeff-Bezos-768x473.jpg 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Jeff-Bezos-1024x630.jpg 1024w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Jeff-Bezos-356x220.jpg 356w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Jeff-Bezos-696x428.jpg 696w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Jeff-Bezos-1068x657.jpg 1068w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Jeff-Bezos-683x420.jpg 683w" sizes="(max-width: 1401px) 100vw, 1401px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-300816" class="wp-caption-text">Jeff Bezos</figcaption></figure></p>
<p>The result of this will also determine Amazon&#8217;s ability to eat away at Reliance&#8217;s dominance in the region. At the moment, the latter holds a 12,000 strong retail store network. Furthermore, Future had argued that it was not bound by an arbitrator&#8217;s order to put the deal on hold, despite Amazon pushing for the court to enforce the ruling to block the deal. As per Justice J. R. Midha, &#8220;This court is of the clear view that the (arbitration) order &#8230; is enforceable. All the concerned authorities are directed to maintain status quo.”</p>

In September this year, Jio’s head Mukesh Ambani revealed that the company is gearing up to launch a world-class 5G service in the country. A fresh report by India’s <em><a href="https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/jio-planning-to-sell-5g-smartphones-for-rs-2500-3000-apiece-company-official/78731408">Economic Times</a> </em>states that Reliance Jio is planning to launch a 5G-enabled Jio Phone priced around Rs 2,500 (~$34) in India.</p>
<p>Reliance <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/jio">Jio’s</a> company official said, “Jio wants to bring the device for less than Rs 5,000. When we scale up the sales, it can be priced in the range of Rs 2,500 (~$34) – Rs 3,000 (~$41).” Currently, the <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/product/oneplus-nord-5g">OnePlus Nord</a> that is priced at Rs 24,999 is the cheapest 5G smartphone in India. While various companies have been launching flagship and upper-midrange phones with 5G support in India, it is yet to become a 5G-ready country.</p>
<p>In 2016, Jio sold the 4G-ready Jio Phone for free in India through an offer that required them to pay a refundable deposit of Rs 1,500. Probably, the company may adopt the same strategy for its entry-level 5G phone.</p>

<p>The government of India is yet to allocate spectrum to telecom service providers for carrying field trials of 5G networks. Meanwhile, Reliance Jio is working on its own 5G equipment and it is currently waiting for allocation of 5G spectrum from the Department of Telecom. While the commercialization of the 5G networks, Reliance Jio aims to turn the existing 200 to 300 million 2G users into 5G subscribers.</p>
<p>The first Jio Phone with 5G support is expected to debut next year. There are reports that the end of the year may see the arrival of a new 4G Android phone from the brand that could be priced <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/2020/09/23/jio-to-launch-a-50-android-phone-in-india/">around Rs 4,000 ($54)</a>. Last month, Reliance Jio announced that Google invested Rs 33,737 crore for a 7.7 percent stake in Jio Platforms so that both companies can build a new version of Android OS for low-priced smartphones.</p>

The second largest Indian retail chain received the notice for selling a portion of its business to the Ambani owned retail chain.</p>
<p>Back in August 2020, Future Group announced that it was selling off its retail and wholesale operations along with its logistics and warehousing business to Reliance Retail for 3.4 billion US Dollars. Although, Future Group already had a deal with Amazon, before the Reliance Retail deal came into play. The e-retail giant had acquired a 49 percent stake in Future Coupons, a subsidiary of Future Group&#8217;s real estate business, back in 2019.</p>

<p>The deal also gave Amazon a 3.58 percent stake in Future Retail and right of first refusal to purchase more stake in Future Retail as well. According to a <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/07/amazon-legal-notice-india-future-group-deal-reliance-retail/?guccounter=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>TechCrunch</em> </a>report, local news networks reported on the legal notice, which arrived as Amazon and the Indian firm had a deal that would restrict the Indian firm from entering into a deal with certain other firms.</p>

<p>The legal notice also arrives amid rumors of Amazon planning on acquiring a multi billion dollar stake in Reliance Retail as well, which is India&#8217;s largest retail chain at the moment. Currently, the online retailing segment only accounts for 3 to 7 percent of the total retail sales in the country. Thus, with Reliance Retail launching its own e-commerce business in the region, Amazon and <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/flipkart/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Flipkart</a> would face stiff competition in the market.</p>

<p>Industry analysts have stated that retail is crucial for the future of American e-commerce firms in India. Amazon arrived in the country seven years ago and has since invested more than 6.5 billion US Dollars in the local business. The e-commerce giant has also confirmed that it has filed a legal notice but has refrained from divulging any additional information at the moment. So stay tuned for more updates.</p>

Sources close to the matter revealed this information and even stated that this would boost India&#8217;s technology ambitions and raise the competition against major Chinese players like <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/xiaomi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Xiaomi</a>.</p>

<p>Reliance Jio is currently in talks with various domestic assemblers to make an extremely affordable version of its <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/jiophone-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jio Phone</a> that runs on <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/google/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google</a>&#8216;s Android and costs just 4,000 INR (roughly 54 US Dollars). If this device launches, it would be one of the cheapest handset offerings in the market and will also stand with Jio&#8217;s known low cost wireless telecom data plans. For those unaware, Jio is a leading telecom operator in the Southeast Asian country and is also actively working to develop 5G networking as well.</p>

<p>Mukesh Ambani, Reliance Chairman, is apparently seeking to reform the country&#8217;s smartphone industry in a manner similar to when he reshaped the telecom services. When Reliance Jio first launched as a wireless data plan provider, it had a simple strategy of offering great deals at very aggressive pricing, which was extremely successful in India. Now that the company also has the government&#8217;s support, the billionaire is also aiming at building more domestic manufacturing sites that would likely also benefit other local brands like <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/karbonn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Karbonn Mobiles</a>, <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/lava/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lava International</a>, <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/dixon-technologies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dixon Technologies</a>, and others.</p>

<p>For those unaware, the Indian government had previously <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/2020/06/29/indian-government-bans-59-chinese-mobile-apps-including-tiktok-uc-browser-and-wechat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">banned TikTok and 59 other applications a few weeks prior</a>. This was done due to security and privacy concerns and arrived during increased tensions between India and China after certain military clashes in the Indo-China border regions. India has the largest userbase for TikTok outside of China, with over 200 million users.</p>

<p>At the moment, ByteDance employs over 2,000 people in the country, who are also in the gray regarding the situation surrounding their company. Either the company manages to convince the government and allow its operations or sells itself. But a new report from <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2020/08/12/bytedance-in-talks-with-indias-reliance-for-investment-in-tiktok/?guccounter=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>TechCrunch</em> </a>has suggested that the company is currently in talks with Reliance to strike a deal regarding investment into TikTok.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-247861 size-full" src="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tiktok-1-1.jpg?x44794" alt="ByteDance" width="875" height="583" srcset="https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tiktok-1-1.jpg 875w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tiktok-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tiktok-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tiktok-1-1-696x464.jpg 696w, https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tiktok-1-1-630x420.jpg 630w" sizes="(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px" /></p>
<p>Two sources revealed a conversation between both companies last month which has yet to reach a deal. TikTok&#8217;s operations in India have been valued at more than 3 billion US Dollars, according to one of the sources. Unfortunately, both ByteDance and Reliance have declined from commenting on the matter. Although, an investment in TikTok could be highly beneficial for one of India&#8217;s largest firms.</p>

<p>Notably, the telecom operator has already replaced 4G technology from <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/nokia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nokia</a> and Oracle with its own technology, and this seems to also be extending to 5G networking. According to analysts, this development is perhaps the world&#8217;s first, where a mobile phone company has developed proprietary 5G technology to replace 3rd party equipment providers, like <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/huawei/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Huawei</a>, <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/zte/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ZTE</a>, <a href="https://www.gizmochina.com/tag/Ericsson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ericsson</a>, and others.</p>

<p>A source close to the matter said that &#8220;We have now developed everything end-to-end around 5G technology. We are more scalable than these vendors and are fully automated since we have our own cloud-native platform. In 5G, we will totally be self-sufficient. Furthermore, apart from designing its own infrastructure for 5G networking, the company has also readied other IoT gear.</p>

<p>Previously, we had reported on 5G trials in India being possibly delayed due to the country passing new data security laws that might have Huawei and other 5G vendors pull out of the region. However, with this development, the 5G trials can still be held later this year. The source also said that &#8220;We can give the design, layouts, and board support packages to third-party manufacturers to have our gear made.&#8221;</p>
