The key to unlocking the real potential of IoT is to be focused and dedicated-it is this business opportunity that we are targeting with UNLIMIT,” said Amitabh Jhunjhunwala, Group Managing Director, Reliance Group.
Reliance is the country’s first telecommunications services provider to set up a dedicated and integrated IoT business unit committed to helping its corporate customers achieve their goals.
