MUMBAI, Aug 28 - Reliance Industries' retail unit is attracting "strong interest" from other top investors after raising $1 billion from Qatar Investment Authority, its billionaire chairman Mukesh Ambani said on Monday.
Reliance Retail, which aims to list on the stock market, raised $1 billion from Qatar Investment Authority at a $100 billion valuation, three years after a wave of fundraising where the unit attracted investors such as KKR, Silver Lake and TPG. "In less than three years, the valuation of Retail has almost doubled, notwithstanding the intervening COVID-19 pandemic," Ambani, Asia's richest person, said during the company's annual general meeting.
"Several marquee global strategic and financial investors have shown strong interest in Reliance Retail," he said, adding he would share progress about them "in due course".Led by Ambani's daughter Isha, the retail arm includes e-commerce operations and outlets selling electronics, clothing and food products, a consumer goods business and international partnerships with brands like Burberry, Pret A Manger and Tiffany.
