Reliance Jio’s mid-segment LYF Water 5 smartphone launches on Amazon
MUMBAI: Reliance Jio’s mid-segment LYF Water 5 phone from Reliance Digital has been launched. Water 5, unlike its predecessors Water 1, Water 2, and Water 7 that are available in various brick and mortar showrooms, is only available online, exclusively on Amazon India. The smartphone is priced at Rs 11,699/-.
Online platforms are fast becoming an attractive option for vendors because of the wide outreach it allows them as well as an increasingly web-savvy young generation that is taking to online shopping as a means of quick, hassle-free, and largely secure mode of shopping.
A few days ago, Reliance Jio opened its 4G mobile internet and phone call service for the general public on a ‘trail’ basis with a couple of conditions. One can buy the Jio sim-card after getting an invite from employees of Reliance Industries group firms and must buy an LYF handset. The invitee needs to pay Rs 200 to activate the services. This will also grant user free unlimited access to Jio’s 4G mobile applications like Jio Play, Jio On-demand, JioMag, JioBeats, Jio Drive etc., for 90 days. Reliance’s LYF range of mobile devices cost between Rs 5,599 and Rs 19,499 each.

Collective Artists Network reshuffles talent leadership
Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee take expanded roles in core division.
MUMBAI: Collective Artists Network just handed the talent baton to its homegrown stars because when your agents have been building careers this long, it’s time to let them run the show. Collective Artists Network has announced the next phase of leadership for its talent management business, elevating senior agents Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee to expanded roles within the division. The move strengthens the company’s foundational talent arm while it continues to grow into content creation and production-led ventures.
Each of the three has played a significant part in shaping artist careers across films, digital platforms and brand partnerships. Together they now represent the next generation of leadership for Collective’s talent operations, with a continued focus on long-term career building, strong partnerships and adapting representation to a fast-changing media landscape.
Collective Artists Network founder and Group CEO Vijay Subramaniam remains actively involved in guiding artist strategy and key relationships. He said, “Talent management has been the foundation on which Collective was built, and that philosophy continues to guide how we grow the company. As we enter this next phase, it’s important that the people leading this business have both deep context and long-term convictions.”
Collective Artists Network partner and head of talent Janahavi Rawal added, “Collective’s talent business has always been built on trust, long-term thinking, and a deep understanding of where artists want to go next. Fiona, Jinal, and Arjun have each played an important role in shaping the careers of the artists we represent, and this phase is about empowering our senior agents further while building the right support systems around them.”
The leadership evolution reflects Collective’s belief in promoting from within and creating clear ownership across verticals. In a talent world where yesterday’s agent is tomorrow’s partner, Collective isn’t just reshuffling chairs, it’s handing the spotlight to the people who’ve been quietly directing the show all along.
