Reliance Retail, led by Mukesh Ambani and his daughter Isha Ambani, is transforming India’s luxury retail landscape. In 2024, they are set to introduce six global brands to the Indian market, making high-end shopping more accessible to consumers. Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries, has already brought international luxury brands like Versace, Armani, Balenciaga, and Boss to India through Reliance Retail.
Since taking charge in 2022, Isha Ambani has expanded the company’s presence in the global luxury retail sector. The year 2024 will see the Indian debut of brands such as Old Navy, Armani Café, Shein, Asos, and Sandro & Maje by the SMCP Group. These brands will be available both online via platforms like Ajio and offline at Jio World Plaza in Mumbai, the country’s premier luxury shopping destination.
Jio World Plaza, located in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), is designed to be the ultimate hub for luxury consumers. With a sprawling setup valued at ₹840,000 crore, it showcases Reliance’s dedication to luxury retail. The six global brands entering India under the Ambanis’ leadership cater to a wide range of consumers.
Isha’s influence on luxury retail
Old Navy offers trendy yet affordable apparel, while Armani Café brings a sophisticated dining experience. Asos and Shein target digital-savvy shoppers with stylish and budget-friendly clothing, and Sandro and Maje by SMCP Group appeal to discerning luxury shoppers.
Isha Ambani’s influence extends beyond luxury retail, as she spearheads Reliance Retail’s diversification into various industries. She has introduced platforms such as Tira Beauty, AJIO, and more. Tira Beauty offers a mix of international and local beauty products, while Hamleys continues to attract Indian families with its extensive range of toys.
AJIO, a leading e-commerce platform, offers a mix of global and homegrown fashion brands. Freshpik combines international brands with local offerings in the premium grocery segment, and Reliance Smart is rapidly expanding across India. Netmeds, powered by Reliance Retail, is a trusted online pharmacy offering medicines and wellness products.
Under the combined vision of Isha and Mukesh Ambani, Reliance Retail is not just a retail giant but a transformative force in India’s lifestyle and consumer sectors. Their efforts are making global luxury more accessible to Indian consumers and reshaping the country’s retail landscape.
