Ecommerce dream of the Ambani brothers
Last year, Mukesh Ambani had declared how his company is planning a big push in the e-commerce segment. With this fashion site and online marketplace, he is marching towards the ecommerce dream.On the other hand, his younger brother Anil Ambani has also entered the ecommerce industry but from a different route. In January this year, Reliance Commercial Finance, part of Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Capital tied-up with Snapdeal to provide supply chain financing to e-commerce vendors. The company is also in talks with Flipkart and Amazon for similar business arrangement.
While Mukesh Ambani is planning to compete directly with top etailers Amazon, Flipkart, and Snapdeal, Anil Ambani is collaborating with the existing ecommerce leaders. Whose ecommerce strategy will win and who will fail? Let’s wait to find that out.
