Reliance Industries on Friday highlighted the growing role of Moneycontrol’s subscription business, with Akash Ambani describing the platform as India’s leading financial intelligence destination.
Addressing shareholders at Reliance Industries’ 49th Annual General Meeting, the Jio Platforms Managing Director said Moneycontrol’s premium offerings — Moneycontrol Pro and Moneycontrol Super Pro — are helping strengthen the platform’s subscription business by providing investors with research tools, market insights and premium features.
“Moneycontrol is India’s leading financial intelligence destination. Moneycontrol Pro and Moneycontrol Super Pro have strengthened Moneycontrol’s subscription business with a fast-growing, feature-rich offering for investors seeking actionable insights,” Ambani said.
The comments came as Reliance outlined the performance of its broader media and entertainment portfolio, which spans television, digital publishing, content production and creator-led initiatives.
According to Ambani, Network18 reaches 250 million people every month through television and has built a digital audience of more than 450 million subscribers and followers across platforms. The network also generated more than 65 billion video views across social media during the year, reflecting the growing shift toward digital and mobile-first content consumption.
Reliance said its flagship news brands — CNBC-TV18, CNN-News18 and News18 India — continue to lead their respective categories, while Firstpost remains a preferred destination for audiences seeking an Indian perspective on global affairs.
Within this ecosystem, Moneycontrol has emerged as one of the company’s most valuable digital properties as millions of Indians increasingly turn to online platforms for investment and personal finance information.
Reliance believes premium offerings such as Moneycontrol Pro and Super Pro position the platform to benefit from rising retail participation in equities, mutual funds and other financial products.
Beyond news and information services, the company also highlighted the performance of Jio Studios, which it described as India’s No.1 content studio by revenue, catalogue size and box-office share. Reliance said the Dhurandhar franchise crossed ₹3,000 crore in worldwide box-office collections, making it the first Indian film duology in which each film individually crossed the ₹1,000-crore mark.
The company also pointed to its growing focus on the creator economy through Creator18, which develops creator-led content and social media solutions for brands. Ambani said the initiative is aimed at helping advertisers connect with younger audiences through new digital formats.
