Ambani said at the Make in Odisha-Conclave 2018, “Most of our investments are in creating digital infrastructure.”
He added that RIL had successfully generated employment in the state, benefiting over 30,000 people in the last couple of years. He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of making India digital and hoped that India becomes a front-runner in becoming the world’s biggest digital economy.
