Reliance Industries Limited (RIL)<\/strong><\/a> hosted its 48th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in 2025<\/strong><\/a>, unveiling a series of groundbreaking announcements that underline the company\u2019s vision for the future of connectivity, digital services, and entertainment. From updates on Jio\u2019s upcoming IPO to advancements in 5G technology and the debut of Jio Frames<\/strong><\/a> smart glasses, the event highlighted RIL\u2019s focus on innovation across multiple verticals. Among these announcements, one of the key highlights was the introduction of new features for <\/span>JioHotstar<\/strong><\/a>, the rebranded streaming platform born out of the JioStar venture.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n JioHotstar is now set to transform how audiences in India engage with content through <\/span>Riya<\/strong>, a voice-enabled assistant, and <\/span>Voice Print<\/strong>, an AI-powered live translation tool designed especially for sports and global entertainment content.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In November 2024, <\/span>Viacom18<\/strong><\/a> and <\/span>Disney\u2019s Star India<\/strong> merged their streaming businesses, bringing <\/span>JioCinema<\/strong> and <\/span>Disney+ Hotstar<\/strong> together under a single platform called <\/span>JioHotstar<\/a>. This merger created one of the largest streaming ecosystems in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n According to Akash Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, JioHotstar currently offers more than <\/span>3.2 lakh hours of content\u2014which is six times the combined library of its closest rivals. The company also plans to add <\/span>30,000+ hours of fresh content annually, ensuring a steady pipeline of movies, shows, and sports programming.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The platform has already achieved phenomenal success:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 600 million users joined within three months of launch.<\/span><\/p>\n More than <\/span>75 million connected TVs streamed JioHotstar content in the same period.<\/span><\/p>\n With <\/span>300 million active subscribers, JioHotstar is now the <\/span>second-largest streaming platform globally.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n One of the standout innovations is <\/span>Riya, a smart voice search assistant built into JioHotstar. Unlike traditional keyword-based search tools, Riya supports <\/span>natural language queries, making it easier for users to find content. For example, instead of typing \u201cHindi action movies 2023,\u201d a user can simply ask, <\/span>\u201cShow me Hindi action films from last year\u201d<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Riya can also filter shows by <\/span>genre, release year, number of seasons, or total episodes, giving users an intuitive way to navigate the vast content library. While RIL did not confirm whether Riya is powered by a generative AI model, its capabilities hint at advanced natural language processing.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Perhaps the most exciting announcement for sports fans is <\/span>Voice Print, an <\/span>AI-powered live translation feature. Designed specifically for sporting events and global entertainment, Voice Print leverages <\/span>voice cloning and <\/span>lip-sync technology to dub commentary into multiple Indian languages in real time.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This feature has the potential to make international sports events more accessible to regional audiences, bridging the language barrier for millions. However, RIL has not yet disclosed the <\/span>exact number of supported languages or the AI model behind the technology.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Another major feature is <\/span>JioLenZ, a tool that allows users to customise how content appears on their screens. Viewers can:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Overlay live sports scores.<\/span><\/p>\n Switch audio languages seamlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n Enable commentary tracks as floating pop-outs.<\/span><\/p>\n Enjoy device-optimised layouts that adapt automatically for smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This feature brings a new level of <\/span>interactive streaming, giving users more control over how they consume content.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n For mobile-first users, Reliance unveiled <\/span>MaxView 3.0, an upgrade to its cricket streaming interface. The feature enhances vertical video viewing by <\/span>aligning live scorecards, replays, and camera angles within the same screen. Users can swipe between layers without leaving the live stream, making it a more immersive experience.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This is aimed at <\/span>India\u2019s massive mobile audience, where vertical video consumption dominates.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The announcements at RIL\u2019s 48th AGM 2025 underline the company\u2019s vision to not just compete but <\/span>lead the global OTT landscape. With features like <\/span>Riya voice search, <\/span>Voice Print AI translation, <\/span>JioLenZ personalisation, and <\/span>MaxView 3.0, JioHotstar is positioning itself as more than a streaming platform\u2014it\u2019s becoming an <\/span>AI-driven, interactive entertainment hub.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n With over <\/span>300 million active subscribers, aggressive content expansion plans, and AI-powered innovation, JioHotstar is set to reshape how Indian and global audiences consume digital entertainment in the years ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Latest Technology News | Updates<\/a> | Latest Electric Vehicle News | Updates<\/a> | Electronics News<\/a> | Mobile News | Updates<\/a> | Software Updates<\/a><\/p>\n \n Facebook<\/a> | Twitter<\/a> | WhatsApp Channel<\/a> | Instagram<\/a> | Telegram<\/a> | Threads<\/a> | LinkedIn<\/a> | YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Stay informed, Stay Connected!<\/p>\n The post RIL 48th AGM 2025: JioHotstar Introduces Riya Voice Assistant, AI-Powered Sports Translation & Next-Gen Features<\/a> appeared first on Before You Take<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) hosted its 48th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in 2025, unveiling a series of groundbreaking announcements that underline the company\u2019s vision for the future of connectivity, digital services, and entertainment.
