With the entry of the RIL, online shoppers are likely to get big discounts this Dewali as RIL's entry into the ecommerce space would force incumbent players to offer better deals to customers. Earlier this year, during the Vibrant Gujarat summit, Mukesh Ambani had said that his group companies Reliance Retail and Reliance Jio Infocom would jointly launch a new e-commerce platform in the country and Gujarat would be the first state to get it.
Last year adressing at the 41st annual general meeting (AGM) last year, Ambani had said that by 2025, it aims to double the group's revenue with the help of retail and telecom businesses' increasing contribution. He had also hinted about the group's plan on expansion of its retail business using Jio's digital platform.
