Google India Country Manager & VP, Mr. Sajay Gupta, said at the ’ABP Infocom – The Next Normal’, “The COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged us to use every tool available to tackle the threats and possibilities before us. Google recently acquired a 7.73% stake in Jio Platforms Ltd the digital subsidiary of Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL). The two companies have also reported plans to come up with an affordable smartphone at the entry level”.
Mr. Gupta stated that data usage increased to 14 GB per month from 8 GB during the pandemic. The total intake was a mere 86 MB per month in 2014.
