Billionaire Mukesh Ambani opened the doors of his new mega-mall Jio World Plaza in Mumbai’s luxurious Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) on November 1, with the red carpet seeing the top celebrities and Bollywood stars during the grand opening.
While the opening of Jio World Plaza was a star-studded affair, the retail business plan of the mega-mall is nothing short of impressive. Through his new venture, Mukesh Ambani has signed multi-crore deals with many international luxury brands.
