Reliance Retail to be biggest threat to Amazon, Flipkart: Mohandas Pai

"Reliance has a wider reach, more physical stores, better distribution and more money to invest in India than the other two."
HYDERABAD: Reliance Retail will pose the biggest challenge to top e-commerce players Amazon andFlipkart next year due to its wider reach and tremendous penetration of telecom arm Jio, said an IT industry veteran. 

Consolidation would be the name of the game in e-commerce space next year, with small firms shutting shop, leaving fewer players in an environment of intense competition, former CFO ofInfosys T V Mohandas Pai said.
