2. Reliance is also building a future-ready garment manufacturing system to deliver better quality garments at a competitive cost. “We have created supplier partnerships in 21 pan-India clusters where these garments will be manufactured,” he said.

2. An exports platform 

“Our exports platform is a logical extension of our manufacturing platform in retail. The rapid growth in our consumer brands business in India has given us the confidence to build a strong and scalable global FMCG business. Our export journey reflects the growing strength of our brands, our competitive product portfolio and our ability to serve diverse consumer needs across global markets,” said Mukesh Ambani.
