What the Headlines Don't Tell You! | What the 528-Page DRHP Reveals About Jio IPO
Think School reads Jio's 528-page draft IPO prospectus beyond the headlines. The video lays out Jio's headline numbers of 1.46 lakh crores in revenue, about 30,000 crores in profit and 524 million customers, then explains the business as one equation - revenue equals users times average revenue per user - across a six-level pyramid from 2G India to enterprises. It surfaces three things it says the headlines are missing: an outstanding spectrum obligation of 1.04 lakh crores that costs about 40 percent of profits a year until 2038, a deferred tax pile of 55,611 crores that kept the actual tax paid at 118 crores against a 10,300 crore paper bill, and a real free cash flow of about 20,300 crores that needs roughly 18 rupees more per user per month to hold steady. It closes with four growth engines - recharge prices, home broadband, small business digitization and AI distribution - and three risks: price-sensitive customers, the next capex cycle and satellite internet.
