The Reliance`s Chairman Ambani said that the RIL-Facebook deal would be a milestone for the government's 'Digital India' initiative.

"In the post-Corona era, I am confident of India's economic recovery and resurgence in the shortest period of time. The partnership will surely make an important contribution to this transformation,"
