The launch of the new app in the Indian e-market is going to happen soon. The Tata Group, the country's most trusted industrial house, is about to do a pilot launch of SuperApp in September this year to expand its digital business. The company is preparing to raise $ 2-2.5 billion (Rs 14.83-18.53 thousand crore) from foreign fund investors before that.

The main objective of the Tata Group is to grow the digital wing of the company as a whole. So that it can give tough competition to the already existing companies in the market. Like Amazon, Flipkart, and Reliance Group's Jiomart.
