Reliance Retail




Reliance is gearing up to revolutionize the retailing industry in India. Towards this end, Reliance is aggressively working on introducing a pan-India network of retail outlets in multiple formats, A world class shopping environment, state of art technology, a seamless supply chain infrastructure, a host of unique value-added services and above all, unmatched customer experience, is what this initiative is all about.  The retail initiative of Reliance will be without a parallel in size and spread and make India proud. Ensuring better returns to Indian farmers and manufacturers and greater value for the Indian consumer, both in quality and quantity, will be an integral feature of this project. By creating value at all levels, we will actively endeavor to contribute to India's growth.
The project will boast of a seamless supply chain infrastructure, unprecedented even by world standards. Through multiple formats and a wide range of categories, Reliance is aiming to touch almost every Indian customer and supplier.
With a vision to generate inclusive growth and prosperity for farmers, vendor partners, small shopkeepers and consumers, Reliance Retail Limited (RRL), a subsidiary of RIL, was set up to lead Reliance Group’s foray into organized retail. Since its inception in 2006, Reliance Retail Limited (RRL) has grown into an organisation that caters to millions of customers, thousands of farmers and vendors. Based on its core growth strategy of backward integration, RRL has made rapid progress towards building an entire  value chain starting from the farmers to the end consumers.
Reliance Retail continued to expand presence of its value and specialty formats. During the year, Reliance Retail opened 90 new stores spanning across 'value' and 'specialty' segments. In-store initiatives, wider product choice and value merchandising enabled the business to achieve robust growth during this period.  Its presence in the optics business is in partnership with Grand Vision. 51 new stores were added during FY-11 taking the total presence to 100 stores across key markets in the country. The retail chain offers single brand optical products including Vision Express frames, lenses, contact lenses, sunglasses, solutions and accessories.
For the very first time, consumers in India got the opportunity to experience Hamleys, which is considered to be the world's most wonderful toy shop. The brand was launched in India with opening up of 2 stores during the year.
iStore by Reliance Digital is a one-stop-shop for all Apple products and services. There are 17 such stores currently operational. 
Reliance Brands also announced exclusive licensing arrangement with two leading international brands:
·         Steve Madden, a leading designer, wholesaler and retailer of fashion-forward footwear and accessories for women, men and children.
·         Quiksilver, a leading outdoor sports lifestyle company to launch their core brands 'Quiksilver' and 'Roxy'.
