Through the deployment of Merchant Point of Sale for small shop owners, we will enable them to do everything that
large enterprises and large ecommerce players are able to do.
They will be able to manage inventory, keep digital records and file returns, improve working capital management,
retain and upgrade customers, access new customers, run promotion and loyalty programs, link to our highly efficient
supply chain, and much more.
Our NEW COMMERCE PLATFORM will redefine retail in India by enabling all customers ─ rich or poor, whether at
home or on mobile ─ to transition from simple shopping to personalised Immersive shopping experience.
This will be made possible by Augmented Reality, holographic technology and VR devices.
Our digital tools will predict and anticipate the needs of shoppers.
JioGigaFiber will bring the entire marketplace to large screens powered by high speed broadband at home.
We will also leverage Reliance Retail's deep insights into Indian customers, large local presence, and best-in-class
supply chain.
We will invest in the best data analytics engines using artificial intelligence to bring a powerful offering to all consumers,
merchants and small businesses.
We will also facilitate availability of financing to small shopkeepers and merchants to improve their capital efficiency, so
that they can become competitive and grow their businesses.
Thus, the principal purpose of our hybrid NEW COMMERCE PLATFORM is to promote Shared Prosperity.
This will enable even the smallest merchant to earn more, employ more people, and give common Indian customers
the best value for their money.
