RIL AGM to be streamed live from 11 am onwards 1 Sept
MUMBAI: A lot is expected to be revealed about Reliance Jio progress and rollout plans during the course of Reliance Industries Ltd’s 42 annual general meeting with its shareholders on 1 September.
Punters are betting that its tariffs will be disclosed as well as the plans it has VoLTE, IPTV and broadband.
RIL has reportedly spent over Rs 29,000 crore over Jio and is expected to invest more. And while the profits are not expected to start rolling out during its investment and growth phase, RIL would still like to know what chairman Mukesh Ambani has in store. As Jio is expected to revolutionise the way Indians consume data and engage on their mobiles.
Keeping this in mind, RIL has decided to stream the AGM live on its various online digital channels from 11 am when Mukesh Ambani is slated to begin his speech.

JioHotstar enters micro-drama space with 100 shows under Tadka banner
Short-form push targets 300M users as content meets commerce in new format
MUMBAI: JioStar has made a bold play in India’s fast-growing micro-drama space, rolling out over 100 short-form shows under its new Tadka banner on JioHotstar, timed with the massive viewership surge of the Indian Premier League 2026.
The scale of the launch signals clear intent. Rather than testing the waters, the company has dived in headfirst, releasing a wide slate of content on day one. Each show is designed for quick consumption, with episodes running 60 to 90 seconds in a vertical format tailored for mobile-first audiences.
The move comes as India’s micro-drama market, currently valued at around $300 million, is projected to grow tenfold to over $3 billion by 2030. Globally, the format has already proven its mettle, with China’s micro-drama sector recording explosive growth in recent years.
What sets this rollout apart is its built-in monetisation strategy. The shows are free to watch and ad-supported, with brand integrations woven directly into storylines from the outset. It reflects a broader shift where content and commerce are increasingly intertwined, rather than operating in silos.
The timing is equally strategic. With more than 300 million users already tuning in for IPL action, JioHotstar is effectively turning cricket’s biggest stage into a discovery engine for its new format.
The company is not entering an empty arena. Early movers like Kuku TV, MX Player and platforms backed by Zee Entertainment Enterprises have already laid the groundwork, building audiences and validating demand for snackable storytelling.
Now, with scale, distribution and advertiser interest aligning, the big players are stepping in. For JioStar, Tadka may well serve as a proving ground for the next evolution of digital entertainment, where every minute counts and every second sells.
If the bet pays off, India’s next big content wave might just arrive in under 90 seconds.
