Jio Platforms Limited has solidified its position as India’s leading global intellectual property (IP) creator, surpassing all Indian companies and research institutions, according to the Annual Report 2024-25 released by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trademarks.

In a remarkable demonstration of innovation, Jio Platforms filed 1,037 international patents in 2024-25 — far ahead of its nearest competitor, TVS Motor Co, which filed 238 patents, followed by CSIR (70), IIT Madras (44), and Ola Electric Mobility (31). Notably, Jio’s international filings in the past year more than double the combined filings of entities ranked 2 to 10.

Including domestic patents, Jio Platforms filed a total of 1,654 patents in 2024-25, and as of March 31, 2025, the company held 485 patents, establishing itself as one of India’s largest patent holders, particularly in 5G and 6G technologies.

The achievement reflects the long-term vision of Mukesh Ambani, Chairman & MD of Reliance Industries, who is steering Jio towards becoming a deep-tech powerhouse. “We are resolutely transforming our operating model to become a Deep-Tech company with advanced manufacturing capabilities. We are making every one of our businesses AI-native, positioning them for hyper-growth,” Ambani said at RIL’s 2025 AGM.

Akash Ambani, Director of Reliance Industries, echoed the sentiment: “Jio’s transformation into a Deep-Tech company is now unmistakable. We have done it on a technology stack entirely designed, developed, and deployed in India by Jio’s own engineers. From developing our own 5G Core to rolling out the fastest 5G services and pioneering global-first home connect technology, Jio has cemented its place as a Deep-Tech leader.”

Jio Platforms’ innovation credentials have been recognized widely over the past year. The company won the WIPO IP Enterprise Trophy/Gold Medal for the Service Industry, the National IP Award for ‘Top Indian Company in Services’, and was listed among the Asia IP Elite at the IPBC Asia Awards 2025 in Tokyo. It also received the Clarivate South Asia Innovation Award 2025 in Telecommunications and was recognized as one of the top 30 IP-driven organizations by CII.

Reliance Industries continues to invest heavily in research and development, with Rs 4,185 crore spent in FY25, a 14.9 per cent increase from Rs 3,643 crore in FY24, and an increase of over Rs 1,500 crore over the last three years. This robust R&D investment, combined with a comprehensive IP governance framework, underpins Jio Platforms’ growing patent portfolio, which has seen over 4,000 global applications filed in the last three years across telecom, AI, and digital technologies.

With its unmatched IP creation and strategic R&D investments, Jio Platforms is not just leading India — it is defining the global frontier of deep-tech innovation.
