Acquisitions by Reliance Retail in the last 4 years

From retail tech solutions to intimate wear, here are the key acquisitions by Reliance Retail since 2019

New Delhi: Reliance Retail is one of the fastest-growing retail companies, which according to Reliance Industries Ltd’s (RIL) chairman Mukesh Ambani is the only Indian retailer in the global Top 100 and has a potential to grow.

Reliance Retail has posted an annual revenue of Rs 2,60,364 crore in the financial year (FY) 2023, registering a year-on-year growth of 30%. The company’s EBITDA stood at Rs17,928 crore and its net profit stood at Rs 9,181 crore.

Over the past few years, it has attracted investments from large and reputable global investment firms and sovereign wealth funds owing to its rock-solid fundamentals and compelling value proposition.

In September 2020, the valuation of Reliance’s Retail business stood at Rs4,28,000 crore. In less than three years, it doubled. “Based on this valuation, Reliance Retail, had it been listed, would have ranked among the Top 4 companies in India and Top 10 retailers globally,” the company’s director Isha Ambani said at RIL’s 46th annual general meeting.

A key element of its growth has been acquiring the right businesses, be it technology or retail. Here’s a list of key businesses acquired by Reliance since 2019:

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims.

Ankit Chona, Founder and Managing Director of HOCCO, delves into the company’s revenue model, growth strategies, and vision for the future… Bengaluru: HOCCO (House of Chonas Collaborative) , the Ahmedabad-based ice cream and quick-service restaurant (QSR) chain, boasts a rich legacy spanning over 70 years, with roots tracing back to pre-independence India. The Chona family has been deeply entrenched in the food industry since 1944, originally operating in undivided Pakistan.
