After raising over billions of dollars from 11 investors in 11 weeks with the names of Facebook and Intel for its digital business.

On Thursday, Jio Platforms, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), has released its new product with the launch of videoconferencing app, JioMeet with unlimited free video calling.

The launch of JioMeet is done when the nation of billions adapting ‘Make in India’ and with “Aatmnirbhar Bharat” is gaining movement. The Indian government recently also banned 59 Chinese apps for “being prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India”.

RIL intends to gain profit with ‘Work From Home’ culture emerging after Covid-19 outbreak and entering the ring against Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and other popular conferencing apps.

The JioMeet app can be used for one-on-one video calls and hosting meetings with up to 100 users with enterprise-grade host controls, Jio Platforms asserted on its website.

It is somehow also easily noticeable in the digital world that netizens are having a good time by circulating jokes about “copy-paste” of Zoom app by JIO.

But Zoom doesn’t look like much worried with some heavy-duty rivalry from the Indian-made app.

Zoom has experienced intense competition since it was established in 2011, and yet we have become the platform of choice for millions of participants around the world. We know what it takes to become the unified communications platform we are today, including the immense amount of work and focus required to create our frictionless user experience, sophisticated security, and scalable architecture,” the company said in a statement today.

The JioMeet video conferencing app is accessible across Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and web since Thursday evening.
