According to Andy Campbell, chief brand officer, Reliance Retail, "We want to increase our employee strength by 93,000 at all levels across, mainly the value formats.

He further added, " We will only look at the top eight cities for expansion and then look at tier-II cities after exhausting the former."


At present, Reliance Retail has 660 stores in 100 cities.
