Reuters reveals India’s Reliance seeks repeat of phone success with $184 laptop

By Reuters News Agency
Reuters was first to report Reliance Jio will soon launch a laptop priced at just 15,000 rupees – one of the cheapest on offer in India, aiming to replicate the success of its low-cost phone. Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance is known for disrupting businesses with cut-throat price offerings. Jio, its telecoms unit, has been credited with upending the world’s no. 2 mobile market with cheap 4G data plans and free voice services in 2016. Last year, it followed that up with its 4G JioPhone that costs $81.
