Reliance Industries Ltd has now stepped into the retail sector and has been preparing to compete with companies such as Amazon and Walmart.
Reliance has begun preparations to create a mixed platform for online and conventional shopping. Mukesh Ambani, the country’s richest person, said in the company’s annual meeting on Thursday that Reliance is looking at the biggest opportunity of growth on the hybrid and online to offline new commerce platform in the coming days.
The company’s chairman Mukesh Ambani said that for this, group companies Reliance Retail Limited and Reliance Jio Infocom Ltd will work together. Not only this, the company has already prepared for mega launch of Fiber-based broadband service on August 15.
