Dan will join the Executive Committee of Jio Platforms Limited and will contribute more broadly across the business as well.

Commenting on the appointment, Akash Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, said: "We are delighted to welcome Dan to Jio. Dan has been a trusted advisor to us for many years, and his counsel has been invaluable as we have grown and evolved."

"He has spent his career at the centre of the global telecom and technology ecosystem and brings deep relationships, strategic insights, and a strong understanding of the industry's complexity. Just as importantly, he shares our ambition and energy for what lies ahead. I look forward to working closely with him," he added.

The chance to help take that story global is the kind of opportunity you don't think twice about. I am delighted to be joining Akash and the team and cannot wait to get started."

As outlined at Jio Platforms Limited's most recent Annual General Meeting, Jio's next chapter extends beyond India.

While I appreciate the global ambition, I hope this doesn't mean Jio's focus shifts away from improving services in India. We still face call drops and patchy 5G in many areas. Global success should be built on domestic excellence first.

Interesting appointment. His background in investment banking for TMT sectors is perfect for navigating international partnerships and M&A. Jio's strategy seems very well-considered.

Hope this global push includes creating more jobs back home in India, especially in R&D. We have the talent. Jio should leverage Indian engineers and managers to lead this international charge too.

"The chance to help take that story global" – Dan's quote says it all. Jio's impact here has been massive. Affordable data changed everything. If they can replicate even half that success abroad, it will be huge for the brand.
