I have had the pleasure of working at Reliance and contributing towards India’s sporting growth over the past decade. It’s been a worthwhile journey with successes and learnings in equal measure. The organisation’s competence and capability to invest are the attributes that I appreciate the most, which has allowed me to test the boundaries and match my professional ambitions.
I consider myself to be fortunate to have the opportunity to pursue my passion and contribute meaningfully towards the country’s sporting renaissance.
In the time that I have spent so far at Reliance Jio, I feel I have been highly valued for my contributions. My role is to not only help create new jobs, but also train and develop employees with new technologies and make them ready on global fronts.
I feel highly empowered to do things my own way and seamlessly deliver my role. My workplace has contributed significantly to my personal development with newer challenges every day.
I feel Reliance values my hard work and commitment, and I’m proud to have played a role in our country’s digital revolution.
As India’s largest private sector company spanning multiple business areas, Reliance gives professionals unparalleled opportunities, and I’m proud to be a member of the Reliance family.
In my current role, I look at the entire Jio infra build life cycle pan India, from concept to commissioning, and now, operations support. I feel privileged to have contributed to India’s digital transformation in a way never imagined before.
Reliance not only provides an empowering, diverse, inclusive, and attractive work environment, but also takes care of employees and their families’ safety and well-being through many thoughtful and beneficial initiatives. This combination has created a leading example for other corporates to emulate.
What I’ve loved most about my time at Reliance is building consumer digital products that truly make a difference. The culture of ownership here has empowered me to drive projects with passion and creativity.
After nearly a decade at Apple in the USA, returning to India and working at Reliance has been profoundly enriching. The chance to work on large-scale projects at Jio and see our innovations drive real change is incredibly rewarding. The supportive and collaborative environment has made my journey both emotionally fulfilling and professionally exciting, reconnecting me with my roots and reinforcing my passion for meaningful work.
I’m deeply inspired by the idea that “What’s good for India is good for Reliance”. It is fulfilling to contribute to initiatives that positively impact the nation.
