Jio Platforms Limited (JPL), the technology arm of Reliance Industries, has entered the top 20 of the latest Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) rankings published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), marking a significant milestone for India’s innovation ecosystem.
Jio climbed 320 positions in the 2025 rankings, emerging as the only Indian technology company among the world’s top 20 PCT applicants. The achievement places the company alongside global technology leaders such as Huawei, Samsung, Qualcomm, Google, Apple and Microsoft.
The ranking reflects Jio’s growing focus on research and development across advanced digital technologies, including 5G and 6G networks, artificial intelligence, cloud-native platforms, intelligent automation, network software, edge computing and digital infrastructure.
Commenting on the achievement, Akash M. Ambani, Managing Director, Jio Platforms Limited, said, “The rise of Jio Platforms to the global top 20 in the WIPO PCT rankings reflects our years of efforts towards transforming into a deep-tech company. It demonstrates the velocity of innovation at Jio across multiple advanced technologies, which will continue to grow in coming years.”
He added that the accomplishment aligns with India’s ambition of becoming a creator, owner and exporter of technology and reflects the country’s growing role in global innovation.
Jio’s rise is particularly noteworthy as it came during a year when global PCT filings grew by less than one per cent. According to the company, it has cumulatively filed 6,817 patents as of March 31, 2026, including 2,393 in India and 4,424 in international jurisdictions. The company has secured 1,009 patent grants globally, comprising 538 in India and 471 overseas.
Jio said its innovation efforts are focused on technologies that can be deployed at scale, while also investing in future platforms such as 5G and 6G radio and core networks, satellite communications and Agentic AI initiatives under JioBrain.
The recognition underscores a broader shift in India’s technology landscape, highlighting the country’s growing contribution to original technology creation and intellectual property development on the global stage.
