ALTBalaji has announced a strategic partnership with Reliance Industries Limited to make available its original content to the millions of customers of the online platforms of Reliance such as Jio Cinema, Jio TV, etc. This content would be enjoyed by all the subscribers of Reliance Jio as part of the Digital Services eco-system offered by Jio. 

Jio’s established user base of over 160 million will help to strengthen the distribution of ALTBalaji content and reach out to a wide base of subscribers. 

Speaking about the association, Nachiket Pantvaidya, Group COO and CEO of ALTBalaji, said, “Our content caters to the Indian language mass audience and is targeted at 18-45 years demographic. The early response to our content has been good and now we wish to be available inside all environments where audiences exist and consume videos. We believe that our association with the Jio platforms will help us reach their consumers and let them enjoy the content we are proud to present. Our offerings have a very good fit with the Jio Digital Life eco-system.”
