[responsivevoice_button voice=”UK English Female” buttontext=”Listen to Article”]

Reliance Industries Ltd. has been continuously diversifying their business since 2014. Now, the company is going to capture the market in the e-commerce business.

After becoming a leader in telecom giant in just 4 years, the managing director of the company, Mukesh Ambani announced in a Vibrant Gujarat Summit – 2019 that Reliance is looking to build a unique e-commerce strategy.

India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani also added that this new business of Reliance will give employment to 1.2 million people in Gujarat. Besides, Reliance will start the e-commerce April or May.

These are the alarming words for Amazon India and Flipkart who are the leading e-commerce players in India.

Flipkart is now owned by Walmart and its headquarter is located in Singapore. The company provides discount on almost every product by using Foreign Direct Investment(FDI).

On the other hand, Amazon invested $16 billion for establishing its Indian e-commerce business.

Both the companies manage to grow their business by giving too much discounts.

From 1st February 2019, both Amazon India and Flipkart will not able to give discount because they were breaking the law of FDI.

All the companies which are located out side of India will not provide too much discount from 1st February.

The Business Strategy of Reliance Retail:

Mukesh Ambani who owns 44.7% of the company will use his own money to build the whole business.

So there would be so much discount that Reliance can provide. On the other hand, Amazon and Flipkart will not be able to provide bigger discounts than Reliance. So, that’s how they will start capturing the e-commerce market.

Reliance don’t need to invest billions of dollar for creating an ecosystem for e-commerce.
