    MUMBAI: Telecom operator giant Reliance Jio Infocomm president Sumit D Chowdhury has decided to put down his papers from the telco to begin his new venture. Speaking to PTI, Chowdhury said, “I have quit to start my own venture. It is in the field of smart cities.”

Here, he was responsible for building the ecosystem of companies that would help build solutions on top of Jio platforms and network to provide consumer services.
