Retailers Association of India (RAI) and VMentor.ai, a prominent technology-driven mentoring company, have announced a collaboration aimed at revolutionising retail education in India. 

Under this strategic alliance, RAI and VMentor.ai will jointly develop and launch specialised short-term courses tailored for the retail industry.
