Graduate Engineer Trainee Network

About Jio Infocomm

Jio has been around since 2007, but it only really kicked off after being acquired by Reliance Industries. Owner Mukesh Ambani swiftly catapulted the company to success in 2016 by offering entirely free phone plans to Indians, later turning on the monetization in 2017 to great success. At a minuscule ₹3 per gigabyte of data, the company quickly overtook the market and dethroned older telecom giants. 

Today, Jio is capitalizing on its market-disrupting advantage by expanding into e-commerce and cloud services. It aims to keep providing low-cost alternatives to historically expensive services across India and beyond.

Despite being in a difficult sector, Jio has seen unparalleled growth, which is excellent for freshers. They have numerous graduate programs and internships designed to acquaint you with the industry. Prominent examples include the Graduate Engineer Trainee Program and Management Trainee Program.
