Reliance Retail operates 15,196 stores across 7,000-plus cities, according to its website.

The Indian Government banned Shein and some other Chinese apps in June 2020, stating at the time that the platforms posed a “threat to sovereignty and integrity.”

This new partnership will, however, reinstate Shein in one of the largest democracies, thereby increasing its global outreach, which seems to be a key focus area for the e-tailer.

Last week, the Chinese e-tailer confirmed it was marching ahead with its global expansion plans with the official launch of its Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) headquarters in Dublin, Ireland.
