Reliance Retail Writes Off Dunzo Investment, Focuses on AI and 6G
Imagine a delivery company called Dunzo, which Reliance Retail invested a lot of money in.
However, Dunzo had financial problems, and wasn't making enough money.
So, Reliance Retail decided they wouldn't get their investment back and wrote it off.
The company had losses and tried to make money in different ways but didn't succeed and eventually closed.
Reliance also mentioned they are working on AI and 6G technology.
Reliance Retail wrote off its entire INR 1,645 Cr investment in Dunzo.
The write-off occurred three years after Reliance led a $240 million funding round in Dunzo in January 2022.
Dunzo's co-founder and CEO, Kabeer Biswas, stepped down and joined Flipkart.
Reliance's annual report also highlighted its AI and 6G technology development.
Dunzo shut down operations after struggling financially and failing to secure funding.
