Reliance  Launches Online Grocery E-Commerce Platform ‘My Jio Mart’

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), led by Mukesh Ambani, has launched a new e-commerce platform for grocery shopping, named My Jio Mart. The talks about the industry’s plans to launch this new vertical have been going on for quite some time now. 

My Jio Mart is RIL’s most ambitious, hyperlocal Kirana-led retail project and will compete against some well established similar platforms, such as Bigbasket and Grofers. There are also larger platforms such as Amazon and Flipkart. 

As per sources, “What Reliance will do is to integrate the inventory and other grocery products from the neighbourhood kiranas on the platform. On its part, the company will also supply products to the kiranas at wholesale rates by aggregating purchasing requirements.”

They have also said that Kirana stores have already been invited to get themselves registered on the platform. Some of the products from the connected grocery stores can be seen on the platform already.

Reliance also has retail stores that delve into multiple verticals from neighborhoods and supermarkets. Reliance Retail has over 100,091 stores across 7000 towns in India.
