Also, it's quite evident that Jio, its telecom vertical, will be looking to go public in coming years and it will be monitoring it's value for shareholders. To put a long story in short, Reliance is also present in all growth verticals like Telecom, Retail, E-commerce which all are growth engines that can propel faster growth in the next 4 to 5 years as compared with the growth witnessed till date.''

In RIL’s 41st AGM meeting last year, Ambani said, “As Reliance transitions to become a Technology Platform Company, we see our biggest growth opportunity in creating a hybrid, online-to-offline New Commerce Platform. We shall create this by integrating and synergising the power of Reliance Retail's physical marketplace with the fabulous strengths of Jio's digital infrastructure and services.”

Reliance has been spreading in all new verticals like telecommunications, e-commerce, digital services and has a tremendous growth model in the form of Jio in front. In Goldman Sach’s view, RIL’s retail business is now bigger than all of India’s organised players combined in both revenue and store count. 

It could certainly pose a threat to any business in the world, just like Jio overshadowed some giant telecom companies like Airtel, Vodafone, Idea since its arrival.
