However, at the AGM 2020 that was held earlier this month, the company's chairman Mukesh Ambani revealed that the platform will expand its inventory to categories such as healthcare, fashion, electronics, and pharmaceutical products soon.

How About Competition

The launch of JioMart brought stiff competition to the existing platforms including Amazon, Flipkart, and BigBasket among others.
