Reliance Industries (RIL) will induct global partners and investors into the
company in the next few quarters, said its CMD Mukesh Ambani. Reliance
Retail is India’s largest and most profitable retail business, he added during
RIL's 43rd AGM on July 15.
Mukesh Ambani on Wednesday said his group's retail
venture has received strong interest from strategic and financial
investors. "We have successfully piloted JioMart grocery model with
kirana partners. The beta version of JioMart grocery platform is being piloted
in 200 cities. Daily orders have crossed 2.5 lakh, and the number is growing
each day," Ambani said.
"Reliance Retail is the only Indian Retailer
to feature in the Top 100 global retailers," Ambani noted.
Within the organised retail, Reliance Retail will
continue to be a partner of choice for marquee international brands, he said,
adding, Reliance Retail has been at the forefront of bringing about the
Organized Retail Revolution in India.
The company is also partnering with farmers, small
and medium-scale manufacturers, merchants, vendors, start-ups and global
companies.
Ambani said the following four things have given
him immense satisfaction:
- First, more than two-thirds of nearly
12,000 stores are operated in Tier II, Tier III and Tier IV towns.
- Second, the deep-rooted bond with
tens of thousands of farmers that has helped the company to source over 80
percent of fresh fruits and vegetable directly from farmers. “We sell more
fruits and vegetables than any other organised retailer in the country,” Ambani
said.
- Third, the company will continue to
provide large employment and development opportunities for lakhs of people
across India.
- Fourth, the growth model is based on partnership with small merchants and shopkeepers.
