Jio Platforms has achieved a groundbreaking milestone, surpassing one crore applications for its initial public offering. This makes it the first public issue globally to receive more than 10 million applications. The ₹30,213-crore offering, which is India's largest IPO, attracted substantial interest from institutional, non-institutional, and retail investors.

The IPO is expected to list on October 28, with the company's next challenge being to convert this broad investor interest into sustained growth and shareholder value.
