Mukesh Ambani is expanding his business empire by entering into several new sectors. He is the chairman of Reliance Industries whose market cap is Rs 19.28 lakh crore as of May 30. He is Asia's richest man with a net worth of USD 110 billion (Rs 916220 crore), as per Bloomberg Billionaire Index. The 67-year-old is at number 12 on the list of the world's richest people.
The conglomerate has a presence in retail, telecom, oil and others. Now, Reliance's financial services arm Jio Financial Services has announced the launch of a pilot version of the JioFinance app. It will offer UPI, digital banking and other services to take on competitors like Google and Amazon.
Designed for friction-less navigation, the 'JioFinance' app will cater to users of all levels of familiarity with financial technology, ensuring money management on finger-tips. Jio Financial Services said this app seamlessly integrates digital banking, UPI transactions, bill settlements, insurance advisory, and offers a consolidated view of accounts and savings, all in one user-friendly interface.
Future plans include expanding loan solutions, starting with loans on mutual funds and progressing to home loans, demonstrating a commitment to evolving customer needs. It prioritises trust, relevance, and transparency, seeking user feedback for continual improvement towards redefining digital banking experience.
