Reliance Industries is on a spree once again. But this time around, it's not the Jio Platforms that is attracting investments from investors around the globe. Instead, this time Reliance Retail has taken the spotlight.

In the past couple of weeks, Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRLV) has attracted investments from investors including General Atlantic, Silver Lake, KKR, Mubadala, GIC and TPG among others -- all of which also invested in RIL's Jio Platforms. Today the company announced that it had attracted major investment from Saudi Arabia-based Public Investment Fund or PIF.
