EXCLUSIVE: Amazon has warned India's antitrust body that revoking its 2019 deal with Future Group would send a negative signal to foreign investors and allow local retail behemoth Reliance to 'further restrict competition' by AdityaKalra
While Future is staring at liquidation, the legitimacy of the small $200 million deal could have far-reaching consequences for India's retail sector.
