Summary

Reliance Jio Platforms is advancing preparations for its anticipated stock market listing, with initial drafting of IPO documents underway. The company, a key entity under Reliance Industries and led by Mukesh Ambani, aims to offer a small stake, potentially around 2.5% of its equity.
This strategic move could yield approximately $4.5 billion, contingent on a $180 billion valuation. The size of the offering is influenced by pending regulatory approval to reduce the minimum public shareholding requirement for large IPOs in India from 5% to 2.5%.
While Jio Platforms has diversified into AI and digital services, telecom still forms the bulk of its revenue. The IPO planning occurs amid a strong Indian IPO market and potential competition from new entrants like Starlink.
