RIL’s retail operations may turn profitable
the retail operations of Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), India's largest private-sector conglomerate, are likely to turn profitable by next year, a company official told DNA.
At its annual general meeting on Thursday, Reliance announced that consumer-oriented businesses like retail would become important growth drivers for the group over the next few years.
Reliance Retail currently generates revenues of more than Rs 7,600 crore but that's still just a little more than 2 percent of Reliance's annual turnover.Chairman Mukesh Ambani said Reliance Industries is investing aggressively in this business to strengthen its leadership position in the sector. "We are targeting growth of five to six times in existing revenues to achieve Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000 crore over the next three to four years," he said.
Reliance merger gone bad, Britain's Chicken King to axe 1800 jobs
Reliance merger gone bad, Britain's Chicken King to axe 1800 jobs
Reliance industries chief Mukesh Ambani's diktat banning all non-vegetarian products from his Reliance Retail chain has sent ripples in Britain.
The move may be behind British-Indian businessman Ranjit Singh Boparan's announcement to axe around 1,800 jobs in the UK as part of a major restructuring of his food business empire. Boparan is known as the Chicken King in UK and runs 2 Sisters Food Group (2SFG), the third largest food company in UK.
In October, Boparan announced it had swung from a full-year pre-tax profit of £42.5 million to a £33.5 million loss despite a 23% jump in sales to £2.9 billion.
The Birmingham-based tycoon is planning to shut two sites and cut jobs to rein in costs. Industry sources say this could have been a result of the company's merger with Reliance a few months ago.
Reliance had planned to run an exclusive chicken restaurant chain in India in partnership with a UK-based company. Thee chain was to be called "Chicken came First" and was expected to directly compete with KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken).
RIL went ahead and picked up a 45% equity stake in Two Sisters Foods India (TSFI). The balance 55% was held by 2SFG founded by Boparan. TSFI was to supply chilled and frozen foods to Reliance.
But Ambani's plans to go veggie shutting down 100-odd Reliance Delight stores that sell a range of fresh and frozen meats and seafood might have hurt Boparan
Ambani apparently took this decision after demands were made from his shareholders who claimed that Reliance's 'non-vegetarian' business hurt their religious sentiments.
It is now looking at the closure of a site in Corby, Northamptonshire and a cake factory in Newport, South Wales. A further 230 jobs are expected to go in Coupar Angus near Dundee.

Subject: VERY SERIOUS MATTER
Attn : ADMIN
I the undersigned is unsure if this is the correct email address to write about a very serious issue ,in the event this is not the case then I would request to forward the same to the concerned HOD.
The incident took place in Reliance Santacruz ( west ) Super market , Date: 5th of May 2013, Time 1130 hrs .
After parking the vehicle on the lower level basement I and my wife entered the lift which had 7 people already inside . The door had closed and we waited for the lift to arrive on the ground floor . After a while the door opened however the lift had not moved and opened on the same level. At this stage everyone laughed and again the door closed .
This time neither did the lift move NOR DID THE DOOR OPEN.
Ventilation /AC had stopped . The air was getting less and less breathing was a becoming a serious problem . Some of us were banging the door . THE EMERGENCY ALARM WAS NONFUNCTIONAL. Among the occupants there was an infant and self with an existing Heart condition.
One of the person assured us that his brother was outside and that he would surely do something . We were scared of dehydration too as the heat inside was unbearable and all of us gasping for breath.Eventually the door opened and the person responsible for opening the door was NO ONE FROM RELIANCE but another CUSTOMER . This person had got a long screwdriver from his car tool box .
Once we were out of the lift the observations I made was very scary
1) The security man was completely unmoved and was carrying out his duty of parking the cars as usual . He did mention that he has informed someone about the problem.
2) After 15 minutes we meet the Manager at the ground floor level with no sense of urgency ,it appeared that he was not aware of the situation.
Meanwhile since there was no reaction from the staff the brother of the person inside the lift had called for Police help and the Police arrived the scene the same time the Manager arrived.
On enquiring further the following was noted
1) There was no instruction inside the lift for dealing with Emergency.THE EMERGENCY ALARM WAS NONOPERATIONAL.
2)The staff was completely unaware about individuals action incase of any emergencies .
3) The Manager was probably not in the list of people to be informed in a distressed situation OR may be the LAST one..
4) Ventilation was shut off with steel doors sealing any air movement.
5)Mobile network not present.
6) No drills carried out .
7)The lift maintenance person was himself not aware of emergency functions, he was of the opinion that one could speak from inside the lift, which provision is not available.
Activities in the shopping market was going on as usual without anyone from the staff taking any corrective action and treating this as an emergency matter.
It is important to note that on the same day an hour earlier two ladies had earlier Complained ABOUT THE LIFT DOOR NOT OPENING.
I am writing this to make some positive changes in our day to day way of thinking and make a better LIFE . I will be interested to know what action has been taken by the TOP MANAGEMENT to avoid such incidents in future as a policy .
SAFE BUISNESS IS GOOD BUISNESS.

Subject: Poor quality of Plastic Patla
Dear R/s,
Plastic Patla - 01 No. was purchased on Dt. 09.04.2013 @129.00 Rs, which was broken on just one sitting.
On request it was replaced on Dt. 05.06.2013, which was again broken on just one sitting.
We asked Reliance fresh Vikhroli West store to replace this by good quality Patla or return money on 06.05.2013 08:50 PM. They denied same & shown reluctance with misbehave.
We have mentioned our feedback in compliant register and deposited broken Patla at Reliance fresh for action.
Hereby request to take action & apologies fast before we may go to escalate this matter to consumer court.
