These guys are really funny because they themselves receive huge amounts of FDI into their all back-end business components like wholesale cash & carry, logistics, O&M, real estate, warehousing services, management services, brands etc, leaving merely the front end activity namely 'sales to retail customer' housed in a separate entity held by resident shareholders! Whom are they fooling?
