UL kept denying the fact that there will be zero impact because of IKEA’s existence ( Its going to their monopoly pretty soon .. MUCH NEEDED )
but the reality is different.. on top of that COVID-19 made things worse (Been months since many UL branches in bengaluru were shut)
Now that RR owns UL, Pepperfry will be very happy that their competitor will be down to their level
