Reliance Industries buys retail assets of India’s Future Group

In India, Reliance Industries has agreed to pay $3.4bn for the retail assets of Future Group. The move boosts the plans of Mukesh Ambani, Reliance Industries chairman and currently the richest man in Asia, Walmart and Amazon for ecommerce dominance in India.
