Four days after mega-deal with social media giant Facebook, Reliance Industries' JioMart Platforms has started testing its WhatsApp-based online shopping portal. The service so far is available in Navi Mumbai, Thane, and Kalyan. Despite all supply-related constraints, JioMart, along with its new partner WhatsApp, could spread the pilot run of the project to different states.
Jio Platform was created as a subsidiary of RIL in October last year to bring together all digital and mobility businesses under one roof. The new entity has become the parent of Reliance Jio Infocomm and applications like MyJio, JioTV, JioCinema, JioNews and JioSaavn, besides content-generation ventures. The setting up of online portal takes Mukesh Ambani closer to take on India's two biggest e-commerce giants - Walmart-backed Flipkart and Amazon India.
