signing and developing software hands-on. Please share one aspect of you that your biography does not cover. There is one fun fact that I would like to share. The idea of building Jio Platforms' 5G stack was decided in a car, during a traffic jam. It's amazing how decisions taken from the heart can be so intuitively right, as now we are using this technology in India to power one of the largest 5G SA networks globally. What was the major focus of your company in the last 1-2 years? The focus of our company has been to offer the latest 5G technological developments to Indian consumers. We adopted 5G standalone from day 0, and as we speak, we are using network slicing in production. We want to be the early adopters of new 5G capabilities and create a unique benchmark. What's your perspective on 5G as opposed to the common views on this technology? 5G should not be considered a Swiss army knife - a solution to all problems under the sun. My perspective on 5G is more pragmatic. The core technology offers agility in terms of being cloud-native, hence enabling faster deployment and change management. However, the business value is delivered through an over- arching layer that enables new use cases through APIs. The 3GPP standards call this the Common API Framework (CAPIF) layer. How efficiently we leverage this layer will be the key to 5G monetization beyond voice and data services. The numerous 5G use cases will also leverage the CAPIF layer for deeper integration with network capabilities. How is your company contributing to the adoption of 5G in the industry? Jio is at the forefront of 5G adoption and the massive scaling of 5G services. As of early 2023, Jio True 5G standalone services have been launched in more than 200 Indian cities. This number keeps growing every week. This is beneficial not only to the consumers but also to the industry in general. 5G SA being deployed at this massive scale comes with important operational learning, which Jio 5G products inculcates. This learning will help the industry transiti
