Aug 19 – Reliance Jio released two prepaid mobile plans including a Netflix subscription on Friday.
The arrangement is a global first-of-its-kind prepaid package partnership for Netflix, according to the business.
“We are committed to bringing world-class services to our users. The launch of Netflix bundles with our prepaid plan is yet another step to demonstrate our resolve. Our partnership with global partners like Netflix has grown in strength, and together we are creating use cases for the rest of the world to follow,” Jio Platforms CEO Kiran Thomas said in a statement.
A Netflix subscription is previously available on certain Jio Postpaid and Jio Fibre plans, but this is the first time it will be available on a prepaid plan.

Our collection of must-watch stories is growing and our new prepaid bundle partnership with Jio will give more customers access to this exciting line-up of Indian content as well as some incredible stories from around the world,” Netflix Vice President of APAC Partnerships Tony Zameczkowski said.
The firm is selling two plans with 84 days validity with a Netflix subscription for Rs. 1,099 and Rs. 1,499, respectively.
