• Speaker said once Jio Platforms lists, holders of Reliance Industries would be better off selling RIL and buying Jio given it is the high-growth part of the group.
• Cited precedent of holding companies underperforming subsidiaries, e.g., Bajaj Finserv vs Bajaj Finance, and Tech Mahindra vs Mahindra & Mahindra.
• Said Jio's IPO and listing would be phenomenal, with money from large-cap stocks moving into Jio due to scarcity of growth among existing large caps.
• Added that telecom is a strong cash-generating business in India, with Bharti Airtel expected to generate free cash flow of 70,000 crore rupees next year.
