Reliance Retail has launched an app in India to sell fashionwear from China's Shein under a licensing deal, almost five years since Shein's app was banned in the country after getting caught up in a diplomatic tussle.

Shein has restarted its India operations in partnership with Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd., as the fast fashion seeks to tap buyers in the world’s most-populous country where it was banned in 2020 on on security fears.

Shein, the fast fashion brand, has resumed its operations in India, in collaboration with Reliance Industries (NSE:RELI) Ltd., led by Mukesh Ambani. The move comes after the brand was banned in the country in 2020 due to security concerns.
