Project #3

Reliance Jio Digital Service Platform
04.2018 - 10.2018

Jio Digital Service introduced Ease of adding new service should be easy and non-intrusive to the other services on platform

Independence and deployment- While the platform should be common but each service be able to create differentiated experience and control their destiny with independent deployment and build speed

Different stack - Multiple services on JFS Platform - all built with a different technology stack

Common problems but different solutions- Services are not leveraging the common concerns and have built multiple solutions for the same problem

High cost - Cost of building different stacks is not only high but also costly to maintain

DIGITAL GOLD Service- We had built Digital Gold, Given that JFS is building a suite of financial investment products it becomes imperative for us to offer Gold as an Investment class to our customers

Jio offer this proposition to our customers digitally through our platform

For the same we plan to partner with MMTC-PAMP which is the largest gold refiner in the country

One of the propositions of MMTC PAMP is Digital Gold - where the customer can buy/sell Gold online from them via their channel partners

The Gold thus bought by the customers is stored in secured vaults maintained by them and under the custody of independent trustees

The customer can also request for physical delivery of the Gold purchased online in the form of gold coins
