Reliance Retail ramps up high-end global cafes, from Armani to Muji cafes; from Pret to EL&N

Reliance Retail, which is the India partner of more than 70 global top-end to mass fashion brands, is now looking to ramp up its global café offering as affluent young Indians are increasingly seeking experiential café culture.

Reliance Brands, the upmarket global brand seller for the Mumbai conglomerate, already operates about a dozen outlets of coffee chain London-based Pret A Manger in the country. Two months ago, Reliance Brands also introduced Muji Café at the Jio World Plaza, where the Japanese brand is offering artisan brew to curated snacks.
