Mukesh Ambani from Jio Financial Services revealed that JIS will explore blockchain and CBDCs to improve digital usage.
Reliance Industries Ltd’s financial subsidiary, Jio Financial Services (JFS), is starting a technology-focused journey by exploring advanced tech like blockchain platforms and Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). This is aimed at making its products even better.
Reliance Enhancing Digital Adoption
At the yearly company meeting, Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of RIL, highlighted JFS’s strategic direction. He mentioned that JFS aims to become well-known in the payment sector, helping both individuals and businesses while promoting digital use. Notably, JFS plans to offer advanced features like blockchain platforms and CBDC.
The main goal of the newly listed subsidiary is to expand financial services using a digital-focused approach. This approach involves simplifying products, reducing costs, and reaching more people.
RIL’s move into financial services started last year when it separated its financial business and created Jio Financial Services, which went public earlier this month.
JFS has a significant partnership with investment giant BlackRock, entering the Indian asset management field. This led to Jio BlackRock’s formation, a digital-focused entity with both companies owning half. Also, Reliance Retail, part of RIL, began accepting retail payments in digital rupees in February, potentially boosting the adoption of India’s new CBDC.
India’s Progress Toward Worldwide Crypto Regulations
Following Reliance’s announcement, India is becoming more involved in cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Today, during the G20 conference, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the importance of global collaboration in creating rules for cryptocurrencies. As the current G20 leader, India is leading the charge in promoting a global framework for governing cryptocurrencies.
With Reliance’s JFS exploring advanced technologies and India actively discussing crypto regulations, the country’s financial landscape is moving towards more digitalization and innovation.
