Reliance urges employees to back Jio Platforms IPO
In short
Reliance Industries has asked most of its nearly 420,000 employees to think about investing in the $3.2 billion Jio Platforms IPO. The company also reportedly paid October salaries early and reserved shares for eligible employees and Reliance shareholders.
