How Reliance Jio plans to make aam aadmi a digital native

https://yourstory.com/2016/07/reliance-jio-money-wallet/
Reliance Jio, the broadband service owned by Reliance Industries, is creating a
payment wallet that could be used with kiranas (mom-and-pop shops) across the
country. Sources in the industry say that the Jio wallet will work with startups that
are building business models around kiranas to make payments (consumer
transactions) digital and also to empower the kirana with knowledge on their
customers. The company will start its pilot with 1,400 kiranas in a couple of months.
data collected on consumer transactions will be used to empower the kirana owners
to connect better with their customers and to avoid dumping from consumer goods
companies. More importantly, the consumer goods company has the relevant data
to streamline its supply chain and work with distributors to make the kirana network
more efficient.

For Reliance Jio, this is a test bed in making consumption of the Internet universal in
this country by bringing costs down for startups that use their services and the
consumers who will connect on their WiFi networks to pay the kirana.
For every card and net banking transaction, the banks and switches, like Visa, make
1.8 percent from the consumer. Reliance Jio wallets can start a payments revolution
and actually add 200 million Indians Internet consumers. But with the Jio wallets
integrated with startups the prices may drop to less than half percent.
