Mumbai, March 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) on Thursday inaugurated India's largest and multi-faceted destination, the 'Jio World Centre', spread over 18.5 acres at the prime Bandra Kurla Complex.

The Dhirubhai Ambani Square -- dedicated to the legendary industrialist and Reliance founder -- is centred around the Fountain of Joy, with a free entry, open public space, which is set to become a 'must-see' destination for Mumbaikars and international tourists.
