"We believe Reliance Retail/Jio is the best positioned player in the largest and fastest growing e-commerce market.

"Since 2015, RIL has built; Reliance Retail into an over 18,000 store nationwide chain with GMV of USD 30 billion, a dominant 4G network with 430 million subscribers in Reliance Jio, and a strong digital media platform OTT/IPL, music streaming, news through strategic acquisitions," it said.
