The jury of TelecomLead Awards 2017 has decided to present TelecomLead CTO award to Mathew Oommen, president of Network at Reliance Jio for the success of Reliance Jio in the Indian 4G space and his contribution to the global telecom industry in the last 12 months.

Reliance Jio, which revolutionized the data network, has added 100 million Jio subscribers in 170 days of launch. The Jio network could withstand pressure from data consumption which was higher than the total mobile data consumption in the US and twice that in China.
