Mukesh Ambani is the man of the hour, what with the launch of the gamechanging Reliance Jio this week.
Reliance has waged a war on its telecom rivals by offering cheap data plans and free voice calls. According to reports, during Ambani's 45-minute speech on 1 September, Bharti Airtel lost approximately Rs 9,800 crore and Idea lost roughly Rs 2,450 crore of its market share.
While Jio has managed to drum up quite the hype, it has also found itself at the the butt of jokes. While some social media users poked fun at Reliance rivals - like Airtel and Idea - others made fun of the parent company itself. Here's a selection of the funniest memes and images making the rounds:
