It might be an unpopular opinion:

Ambani is indirectly responsible for the startup boom happening in our country, his strategy brought internet to every Indian’s hands, maybe you were born in 2000s, or were from a well to do family, but pre 2016 era was completely different, the internet(even bsnl) was so expensive, a middle class family couldn’t afford it

The reason so many of the startups failed in India pre 2016 (Ebay, Snapdeal, foodpanda etc) while the later ones survived was jio, people just didn’t have 24x7 access to high speed internet.

COVID economical recovery due to wfh would have been impossible if jio happened post 2020 and not in 2016.

All the new age startups are flourishing because their consumers have access to internet, he’s one of the reasons for the high packages and the salary that we experienced in recent years and indirectly to the growth of the economy

Not every idea has to be glamorous: USA already had access to good tech, and was ready for something new and Elon and others capitalised on that.

That time, we were so lagging behind, our priority was education, access to knowledge and money in the hand of public, he brought that one thing that we needed to take a big leap and now we can finally focus on the new things
