Jio already has JioTV (with 600+ channels) which is free with Jio recharge. I don't think Jio would be comfortable bringing on what would essentially be a competitor for its services and give it a cut when it already has a free offering.

Airtel also has Airtel TV but offers one year of free Amazon Prime membership. There might some overlap between TV channels and content that Amazon/Netflix provide but both can co-exist and infact might be a competitive offering.

Makes sense! But I think Airtel is offering free Amazon Prime Membership to gain more market share. Does Jio need to do that since it has dominant market share already?

If they sit on their laurels, their dominant market share will not stay that way. It is an endless race.
