The company is part of alghanim industries of kuwait. Since FDI in retail is not allowed they have taken the wholesale route. They have incorporated a wholesale company called YAAS wholesale and have formed an indian entity Impact Retail for front end. They are fooling indian govt and pumping in FDI money here.
