MY analysis on Reliance Facebook Deal

Reliance partnership with facebook and microsoft could give great amount of synergy to network telecom. It would challenge great players like amazon and groofers. As it is a startegic news on moneycontrol :- 
JioMart will fulfil orders placed through WhatsApp or Facebook, payments can happen digitally through WhatsApp Pay, completing the digital journey for the consumer.
INDIA IS GOING FOR BIG DIGITAL CHANGE LIKE JIO LAUNCH.

HAPPY INVESTING KEEP YOUR SELF SAFE.
