    Reliance Industries has pursued an aggressive acquisition strategy under Mukesh Ambani's leadership to diversify and grow beyond its traditional petrochemical business. This includes acquiring retail businesses to build out an integrated online and offline retail presence piggybacking on the growth of Jio. While acquisitions provide established businesses and revenue streams, organic growth remains important, and Reliance is planning initiatives like expanding Jio Fiber, launching e-commerce platform JioMart, and partnering internationally to drive future growth across industries.

    Questions for case

    1. Analyse the corporate strategy of Reliance industries limited. Why reliance has taken such a
    route? What are the alternative ways you can suggest for growth?

    This tenacity and challenging behaviour of Mukesh Ambani set the firm apart. Instead of
    focusing on conventional charge-the-customer for the call, it created an entirely different
    portfolio of retail chains. This led to even robust growth of Reliance Retail whose 34% of
    revenue in FY20 came from JIO billing and sim card sales (strong network effects). In the
    last five years, Reliance Retail has piggybacked on the growth of Jio and quadrupled to
    11,784 stores from 2621 stores in 2015. Thus, witnessing substantial revenues from
    grocery, lifestyle, and fashion segments. However, with all the success still not being
    enough; Mr Ambani is already financing the deal, as we write, to buy another successful
    retailer-Future Group founded by Kishore Biyani.

    From a business perspective, RIL is conventionally an organisation with 90% of its cash
    flows in the past decade coming from the petrochemical business. Something ubiquitous
    for the owners of the largest refinery of the world. But in FY20, the firm generated 35% of
    its cash flows from the consumer business. This was done by combining the power of 387
    million strong 4G Jio Subscribers with its modern retail platforms. Today JPL’s valuation is
    more than the start-ups like Zoom, Uber, Twitter that entered way before Jio in the
    market. No wonder, it is an organisation which has strategic partners like Microsoft,
    Google, and Facebook, three of the biggest firms in the world.
