The group is making this acquisition as part of an effort to expand into the fast-growing e-business segment in India. This news has come at a time when Reliance Retail is expanding its business in the Indian market. Under this, more than 24 thousand crore rupees have also been signed between Future Group-Reliance Industries. This deal will be officially announced soon.
