Mukesh Ambani Biography

Mukesh Ambani is Indian’s most prominent business tycoon and Asia’s wealthiest man. He was born on April 19, 1957, in Yemen. His father, Dhirubhai Ambani, used to work in Yemen. He also has a younger brother Anil Ambani and two sisters Nina Bhadrashyam Kothari and Dipti Dattaraj Salgaocar. Dhirubhai Ambani moved back to India in 1958 along with his family and started a textile trading business.

In 1980, Mukesh Ambani started studying MBA at the prestigious Stanford University but was later called back to India by his father to expand his business of Reliance industries. According to Dhirubhai Ambani, practical life challenges could not be taught in any university. Individuals have to make mistakes and learn from them. In 1981, Mukesh started helping his father run the company he established as Reliance Industries. By then, Reliance Industries was already working in petrochemicals, retails, and telecommunications.

In 1985, Dhirubhai’s partner and the executive director of reliance industries, Rasikbhai Meswani, died. One year later, Dhirubhai suffered from a heart attack but survived. However, due to his bad health conditions, he could not work. The entire responsibility of business was shifted to Mukesh Ambani and his brother Anil Ambani. Mukesh Ambani founded Reliance Communications, which was one of the leading telecommunication companies back in the time.

In 2002, Dhirubhai Ambani took his last breaths, and tensions between the brothers started surfacing. In order to stop the family feud, their mother came in between and split the company into two parts. Mukesh got Reliance Industries and Indian Petrochemical Corporation, whereas Anil got Reliance Communications.

In 2010, Mukesh Ambani built the world’s largest grassroots petroleum refinery in Jamnagar. Mukesh Ambani was already creating news because of his business sense and investments he made at the right time. He knew what the people wanted, and he always had a solution for them. Reliance Industries Limited is now India’s most prominent multinational conglomerate company and one of the Fortune Global 500 companies. Mukesh Ambani is the chairman and managing director of the company. He also holds around 47% shares in the company, which is the largest amount of shares in the company by an individual.

In total, Reliance has earned more than $21 billion by selling 33% of its equity to various investors.

It is fascinating to know that the idea of Jio came to Mukesh Ambani through his daughter Isha Ambani when she complained about slow internet speeds in India. The phenomena of Jio came late in 2016 when Reliance launched India’s first LTE operator. Jio offered free outgoing calls over the LTE network and really cheap 4G internet. Today, Jio is India’s largest mobile operator and the third largest mobile network in the world. Jio has more than 400 million subscribers as of Nov 2020.
