Addressing shareholders at the annual general meeting, Jio Financial Services' managing director and chief executive Hitesh Sethia said the company, which has partnered with global brands like BlackRock for asset management and Allianz for insurance in the past, will be entering more "strategic tie-ups" to expand its portfolio.

The Jio Payments Bank was serving over 2.5 million customers and had a deposit base of over ₹358 crore as of June this year. Payments banks are aimed at offering payments and remittances to customers, and have restrictions including a ₹2 lakh cap on the maximum permissible deposits.
