Cloud for all

A very interesting situation has arisen in India. There are roughly around 200 million gmail users in India, however it has a very smart way of extracting money out of Indians. Only 15 gb data is free, after that you have to pay for increasing this space utilization. They charge nearly ₹ 1300 for 100 gb of usage, and nearly ₹ 550 for 30 GB of data.

There are nearly 450 million jio users, and nearly same number of whatsapp users in India. The users may be common across the pool of jio and whatsapp users. Most of them are using gmail storage, for taking backup of their whtsapp data. Imagin if Jio enters this space, then it may create a new way of tapping into google space.

Here my suggestion would be to provide users to access jio cloud space using otp. Login can be . Suppose a person has 989898 as phone no. then login id shoudl be 989898.jio.com and password is unique which will be a one time password which will be generated and sent to the mobile. this way the users will have secure password, and will have easier access to their cloudspace. Next the whatsapp users can change their backup to jio cloud space. The advantage here would be that people who are using gmail as backup can directly have this facility readily available. Another important point is that even people who are not using jio can use this facility. May be jio can provide this space for non jio users as well.

number of jio mobile users may remain roughly around 450 million, but the jio cloud space users may double. Another facility can be movement of all photos from google photos to jio cloud space. There are multiple ways in which Jio can challenge google with only one cloud facility. I will be more than delighted to assist you to build this user expereince. Warm Regards Girish K
