flag Reliance Retail tests QR-based personalized shopping in select stores to compete with online rivals, expanding to Smart Bazaar in 2026.

flag Reliance Retail is testing a new search-and-discovery platform in select apparel stores like Trends and Yousta, allowing customers to scan a QR code for personalized product recommendations. flag The initiative, led by CEO Damodar Mall, aims to merge in-store and online shopping experiences and will expand to Smart Bazaar later in 2026. flag The move is part of a broader strategy to counter competition from Amazon India, Flipkart, and quick-commerce players like Blinkit and Zepto, as well as JioMart’s entry into 10-minute delivery. flag Despite margin pressure—core margins fell to 8% in Q3 2025 due to festive discounts, delivery costs, and new labor regulations—the overall retail market continues to grow, supporting expansion and shifting market shares.
