Walmart joins hands with Tata, what does it mean for your Business?

The retail scene in India has seen some key changes in the last couple of years.

Walmart took the Indian retail landscape by the storm in 2018 when the American conglomerate invested $16 billion in Flipkart. And now, with Reliance offering Amazon a $20 billion stake in its retail line, the Indian retail market has seen a solid upward trend.

Walmart is again the talk of the town. The American retail behemoth is now keen to join hands with the Tata Group to create a retail “super app”. Here’s a swift recap of the potential venture:

• Walmart may invest $20-$25 billion to create a retail marketplace with Tata Sons.
• The “super app” is predicted to value around $60 billion.
• The rumored joint venture is estimated to hit the floors by December or January.
• It will encompass Tata’s various consumer businesses like healthcare, financial services, food & grocery delivery, electronics, fashion, and more.
