Our collaboration with global entities like Netflix is thriving, and we are jointly shaping innovative use cases for others in the industry to emulate.”
Tony Zameczkowski, Vice President of APAC Partnerships for Netflix, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “We are thrilled to further enhance our collaboration with Jio. Over time, we have introduced shows, documentaries, and films that have resonated deeply with Indian audiences. Our repository of captivating narratives is continually expanding, and our fresh prepaid bundle partnership with Jio will grant an even larger audience access to this diverse array of Indian and global content.”
