Within 6 months, Reliance aims to connect JioMart with WhatsApp. The move would prohibit users of WhatsApp from leaving the app and encourage them to purchase items from one site. In April 2020, Reliance and Facebook partnered and the latter acquired a 9.9 percent stake for $5.7 billion in Jio Platforms.
Reliance, which is headed by Mukesh Ambani, plans to connect JioMart with WhatsApp within 6 months. This move would make 400 million users of India’s most popular messaging service order goods without having to leave the app.
For $5.7 billion, Facebook purchased a 9.9 percent stake in the digital unit of Jio Platforms from Reliance Industries. Ambani then said that JioMart and Whatsapp will allow almost 3 crores of small Indian Kirana stores to digitally deal with any customer in their neighborhood.
The convergence of both services is largely intended to discourage users of WhatsApp from leaving the app. In November 2020, WhatsApp, in collaboration with India’s National Payment Commission, also launched its payment scheme. According to the report, Ambani is attempting to grab a greater share of the retail market in India, which is expected to cross $1.3 trillion by 2025.
We’re going to put millions of small businesses and the consumers they represent into the digital economy through our Jio investment. This would make it possible for corporations to communicate with clients and close sales,” told by a WhatsApp spokesperson.
Mukesh Ambani said during the settlement between Reliance and Facebook. With its two ambitious targets, Ease of Living and Ease of Doing Business for every single group of Indian people, the synergy between Jio and Facebook will help realize the Modern India Project without exception. In the post-Corona era, within the shortest span of time, sure of India’s economic growth and revival.

WhatsApp introduced an updated term of service that would change how a customer communicates with a company account while the application handles user data. The most famous chat app noted that they would forfeit their account if users refused to comply with the new conditions by February 8, 2021. WhatsApp faced a serious uproar during which the agreement deadline for the revised strategy was postponed.
This update does not improve our ability to share Facebook info. While not all shops with a WhatsApp company now, we expect that more customers will want to do so in the future and that these services are aware of their significant individuals, WhatsApp said in a message.
