Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani reportedly said that the Jio subscriber base is growing at a pace which they even did not expect at the time of launch. "When we started Jio, we set a target for ourselves that we will acquire 100 million customers in shortest time. Even we didn't imagine that we would do it in months”, said Ambani. Jio crossed 50 million subscribers in just 83 days at an average rate of 6 lakh subscribers per day.
