Both are unlimited plans and offer calling, data and some other benefits. Jio also offers free Netflix subscription with its postpaid plans and currently, the company has around two such plans available, priced at Rs 699 and Rs 1,499.So wondering how Reliance Jio’s prepaid and postpaid plans with free Netflix subscription compare and which may be a better option for you. Here are all the four plans compared to help you make an informed decision.Reliance Jio Rs 1,099 prepaid planThis is the most affordable prepaid plan with Netflix subscription. It comes with 84 days of validity, 2GB daily data, 100 SMS per day and unlimited calling. The plan is also eligible for unlimited 5G data as a part of Jio Welcome Offer.

The plan is also eligible for unlimited 5G data as a part of Jio Welcome Offer. Reliance Jio Rs 699 postpaid planThe Rs 699 postpaid plan is a JioPlus plan that offers 100GB data, unlimited calling and SMS and also includes Netflix and Amazon Prime subscription. Users can add up to 3 connections at Rs 99 per user. Also, users get additional 5GB data. The plan is also eligible for unlimited 5G data. It includes Netflix mobile subscription worth Rs 149 per month and one-year Amazon Prime membership with Rs 1,499. Reliance Jio Rs 1,499 postpaid planThe Rs 1,499 is not a JioPlus plan that means it does not offer add-on SIMs like the previous plan. But, what it offers is unlimited calling, 300GB of data, unlimited SMS and Netflix mobile subscription worth Rs 149 per month and 1-year Amazon Prime membership with Rs 1,499. In addition to these, the plan also includes international roaming in the USA – 5GB high speed data and 500 minutes(incoming and outgoing local and callback to India). International Roaming in UAE – 1GB high speed data and 300 minutes (incoming and outgoing local and callback to India).

Telecom regulator TRAI said that it has been receiving a number of call drop complaints from subscribers triggering the need to review existing quality of service (QoS) rules to measure network performance at the district level and bring 4G-5G services also under its ambit. It said that the complaints from the subscribers regarding call drops and other network related issues has increased, especially after the rollout of 5G services. The authority noted that upon detailed analysis of quarterly QoS performance reports, has noted that d that due to long performance assessment period of a quarter over a large area like LSA, there may be pockets or areas experiencing poor quality of service due to averaging effect while service providers are meeting overall QoS benchmark at LSA level.Accordingly, to have a closer view of the status of QoS, it is proposing monthly QoS performance reporting at State and UT level in addition to at LSA level. The QoS parameters and benchmarks for voice and data services are technology agnostic in present regulations. The relevant terminology for 5G services has also been updated in draft regulations to monitor QoS performance of 5G.“As 4G and 5G networks are providing much wider coverage in the country compared to the 2G and 3G networks, stringent performance benchmarks, especially related to call drops, are preposed for 4G and 5G services to improve consumer experience,” it said.The network availability is an important requirement for good QoS. Therefore, the performance against service provider’s network availability is proposed to be monitored at State and UT level to ensure that consumers get uninterrupted services.To simplify the regulatory framework for QoS, it is proposed to have single regulation dealing with QoS standards for all voice and data services irrespective of their access medium i.e., for both wireline and wireless services. Accordingly, three regulations are proposed to be merged into single regulation.

In total, the company has fired 125 employees but there is no clarity on the job roles that have been impacted The new development comes days after Bharti Enterprises scion Kavin Mittal-led web3 gaming startup Hike slashed its workforce by 25%, impacting as many as 100 employees Earlier this month, gaming unicorn MPL began culling its workforce to conserve capital The homegrown online gaming sector continues to reel under the impact of 28% GST as another online gaming platform, Spartan Poker, has reportedly become the latest startup to undergo layoffs.  Sources told Moneycontrol that the startup has fired 125 employees or 40% of its total workforce, as it grapples with the new tax regime. It was not immediately clear which departments were impacted by the company’s retrenchment move.  With this, Spartan Poker has become the third major online gaming startup to have laid off employees after Hike and MPL.  Inc42 has reached out to a company representative for comments. This story will be updated accordingly. Founded by Amin Rozani, Sameer Rattonsey, and Peter Abraham in 2014, Spartan Poker is an online poker platform that allows gaming enthusiasts to play poker tournaments online across various formats.  The new development comes days after Bharti Enterprises scion Kavin Mittal-led web3 gaming startup Hike slashed its workforce by 25%, impacting as many as 100 employees. The company attributed the layoffs to the government’s move to impose a 28% GST, due to which it was staring at a 400% increase in tax burden. Earlier this month, gaming unicorn MPL began culling its workforce to conserve capital. On August 8, Inc42 reported that the company had decided to let go of 350 employees.   The entire gaming ecosystem came out all guns blazing after the GST Council announced its decision to impose 28% GST on the amount being paid at the entry level for online games. Solidifying the move, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, just days later, hinted that the government was looking at amending the GST Act during the Parliament’s Monsoon Session to implement the new tax.  A majority of online gaming platforms had beforehand warned that the 28% GST regime could lead to mass layoffs and increased tax burden. In their letters written to the government, many even termed the levy unconstitutional and called for its revocation.  With another startup joining the growing list of companies undertaking layoffs, it remains to be seen who else joins the layoff bandwagon as the government moves ahead with its plans. With much at stake, all eyes are now on the online gaming ecosystem and how it handles the new curveball which is a 28% GST.

Yulu will provide 20,000 next-generation shared DeX EVs to cater to the hyperlocal delivery needs of Zepto Both Yulu and Zepto have also agreed to promote each other’s products and services across offline and online platforms Earlier, Zepto also partnered with EV players, including Zypp, Howdyy, and Estimo, to electrify its hyperlocal last-mile deliveries Quick-commerce startup Zepto has partnered with electric mobility startup Yulu to move to an all-electric vehicle fleet for its last-mile deliveries. This association will help Yulu expand in the hyperlocal delivery category in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, and Gurugram, while enabling Zepto to electrify its vehicle fleet and sustainably deliver products. Since its inception in 2021, the quick-commerce delivery startup has partnered with several EV majors including Zypp, Howdyy, and Estimo with an aim to promote sustainable and cost-effective transportation.  On the other hand, EV mobility tech company Yulu claims to have helped save over 20 Mn kgs of CO2 emissions to date by making urban commuting clean, inclusive & sustainable. The electric two-wheeler mobility player, in a joint statement with Zepto, said it will deploy 20,000 next-generation shared DeX EVs for Zepto’s delivery partners. The companies also agreed upon promoting each other’s products and services across offline and online platforms as per the partnership. With this strategic partnership, Zepto claimed, riders will be empowered to earn and save more and encourage more women to choose delivery as a profession. “A majority of Zepto deliveries now are powered by environment-friendly vehicles. Partnerships like these not only help us further this effort but also help bring in a workforce by providing them with vehicles, thereby increasing employability,” said Vikas Sharma, COO of Zepto. The partnership with Zepto comes at a time when Yulu has been rapidly expanding its product portfolio and scale in the past one year.  From almost zero revenues at the onset of pandemic in 2020, Yulu claims to have ramped up its revenue 3X from pre-pandemic levels in September last year. Around the same time, the company also told Inc42 that it was targeting an annual run rate (ARR) of $6 Mn and operationalising 10,000 ebikes on Indian roads.  It has also made a slew of launches, including Yulu DeX, targeted at the last-mile delivery space and Yulu Wynn to offer ebikes to customers on a subscription model.  The collaboration comes amid a growing push from the government for cutting carbon emissions and EV adoption. As a result, several major startups, including Swiggy, Flipkart, and Zomato, have been adding EVs to their last-mile delivery fleets.  Last month, Inc42 exclusively reported that Zepto is in advanced talks to raise $150 Mn in its Series E funding round at a valuation of over $1 Bn.
