Reliance Industries: In a study from May 24, analysts at Bernstein said that Reliance Retail is best set up to lead India’s $150 billion e-commerce market in the long run. The study gives Reliance an edge over Amazon and Flipkart in the long run because of Reliance’s large retail network and digital skills, such as its weight with Jio mobile services, which are not shared by Amazon and Flipkart. India’s e-commerce market is currently led by Flipkart and Amazon, which have about 60% of the market between them.
