Reliance Jio’s JioPC Can Now Turn Any Screen Into a Powerful AI Desktop
Reliance Jio has entered the cloud computing space with the launch of JioPC, a virtual desktop solution powered entirely by the cloud. This new platform turns any television or monitor into a full-scale AI-ready computer at just Rs. 400 a month.
With no hardware requirements beyond a Jio set-top box (STB), a keyboard, a mouse, and an HDMI-compatible display, JioPC targets India’s growing demand for affordable and flexible computing.
A Cloud PC for Everyone: Affordable, Scalable, AI-Ready
This cloud PC aims to serve students, working professionals, home users, and small businesses who struggle with the rising cost of traditional desktop hardware. By eliminating the need for expensive CPUs or laptops, JioPC offers high-end performance using Jio’s cloud infrastructure.
A single monthly subscription unlocks a high-spec virtual machine with 4 CPUs, 8GB RAM, and 100GB cloud storage, upgradeable to 512GB on premium plans.
The system boots in seconds and gives access to an Ubuntu-based environment. It includes a wide range of AI tools and productivity software such as Microsoft Office (web version), LibreOffice, and Adobe Express Premium. Jio Workspace is also part of the suite, tailored for both remote collaboration and creative workflows.
Simple Setup and Subscription Plans with a Free Trial
Reliance Jio has priced the service to suit different user needs. Subscriptions start at Rs. 400 a month with unlimited access. Long-term plans come with added value - the annual pack at Rs. 4,599 includes three free months. All tiers include network-level virus protection, automatic updates, and full support without maintenance worries.
For first-time users, Jio is offering a one-month free trial, giving access to the full feature set without upfront commitment. The service is exclusive to those with JioFiber or Jio AirFiber connections and a compatible set-top box. The setup is simple. Users just need to launch the JioPC app on their STB, connect a mouse and keyboard, log in, and begin working.
While JioPC does not support external hardware like printers or webcams yet, its accessibility, speed, and security make it ideal for digital learning, programming, or document work. Creative professionals can also leverage the integrated Adobe and AI tools for content creation.
By tapping into the virtual desktop space, Reliance Jio has made a bold move to redefine India’s digital access. JioPC is not just a new product; it is a shift toward virtual desktops that can scale with the user’s needs, without being limited by hardware.
Put simply, the launch of JioPC signals Reliance Jio's intent to bridge all digital gaps throughout India. For quite a lot of people in India, owning a PC was never an option. JioPC turns that around. The offering is an affordable, plug-and-play kind of solution to making powerful computing within reach for millions.
