Reliance Industries Director Isha Ambani on Wednesday described the listing of Jio Platforms Ltd (JPL) as a moment of fulfilment of her grandfather Dhirubhai Ambani’s vision of making ordinary Indians stakeholders in the country’s economic growth, while pledging to uphold investor trust with integrity.

Addressing the listing ceremony of JPL, Isha said the milestone brought the Reliance Group’s nearly five-decade-old philosophy of public participation in wealth creation full circle.

Recalling Reliance’s first public offering in 1977, when the company raised Rs 2.82 crore at a valuation of Rs 10 crore, she said Dhirubhai had chosen to take the company to the people rather than a select group of wealthy investors.

 “Almost 50 years later, that trust has come full circle,” she said, thanking investors for placing their faith in the company and choosing to participate in its growth journey.

Isha said Jio, built on Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s founding principles of creating genuine customer value and generating sustainable earnings, had reported revenue of about USD 15.5 billion and earnings of around USD 8 billion this year.

She noted that achieving such financial scale within just 10 years was a significant accomplishment, but emphasised that customers remained at the heart of the business.

 “Jio aapne banaya,” she said, acknowledging the role of customers who welcomed the telecom and digital services company into their homes, businesses and classrooms.

Describing the listing as a beginning rather than a culmination, Isha said she, Akash and Anant Ambani would renew the family’s commitment to investors and customers.

 “We will honour your trust with integrity, and we will keep building,” she said, invoking Dhirubhai’s enduring belief that “growth is life”.

She also paid tribute to Mukesh Ambani, crediting his ability to envision new opportunities and build businesses that expanded possibilities for millions of Indians.

 “Different industries. Different decades. The same faith in India — the same unshakeable conviction that our best is yet to come,” she said.

Isha acknowledged the contributions of her brother Akash Ambani, Jio leadership and employees, describing their dedication as central to the company’s journey.

Concluding her address, she thanked her father for his leadership and invited Akash Ambani, managing director of Jio, to address the gathering.

 “Today isn’t a finish line. It’s a promise,” she said.
