“M&S is a very well respected brand globally. At Reliance, we have always strongly believed in the power of the Indian consumer market.

We are excited to partner with M&S to combine Reliance's understanding of the Indian marketplace, and its traditional strengths in the areas such as technology, infrastructure, logistics and training with M&S's legendary retailing and product development capabilities to deliver a delightful experience for Indian consumers.”
