Billionaire Mukesh Ambani has become the owner of the two most valued companies in India, after a stellar listing of Jio Platforms, the country's largest telecom operator and digital services firm.
The share of Jio Platforms continued to climb higher on Thursday, opening 3.3% higher a day after its market debut.
The Meta- and Google-backed company listed on Wednesday at a premium of over 25% to its IPO price, leading to a market capitalization of 13.05 trillion rupees ($137.1 billion).
Ambani's flagship company, Reliance Industries, also the most valued company in India, owns more than a 64% stake in Jio Platforms after the initial public offering.
Ahead of the listing, the patriarch of the Ambani family teared up as his three children shared the journey of building Jio and vowed to create value for investors over the next 50 years.
Analysts expect Jio's free cash flow to improve significantly as the funds from the initial public offering will be used to repay legacy telecom debt, and the company's 5G investment cycle is slowing down.
