The founder, chief executive officer, and major stockholder of Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL), a Fortune Global 500 company and the most valuable company by market value in India, is Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani (born April 19, 1957). Ambani is predicted to have a net worth of US$86.3 billion as of July 4, 2022, making him the second richest person in Asia after Gautam Adani and the 11th richest person in the world, according to Forbes and Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Along with his brother, Ambani attended the Hill Grange High School in Peddar Road, Mumbai, as did Anand Jain, who would become his close friend. He attended St. Xavier’s College in Mumbai after finishing his secondary education. The Institute of Chemical Technology then awarded him a BE in chemical engineering.
HOW WAS THE AMBANI EARLY LIFE
On April 19, 1957, Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani was born to Gujarati Hindu parents Dhirubhai Ambani and Kokilaben Ambani, in the British Crown territory of Aden (modern-day Yemen). He has two sisters, Nina Bhadrashyam Kothari and Dipti Dattaraj Salgaonkar, and a younger brother named Anil Ambani. Ambani only spent a short time in Yemen because his father decided to return to India in 1958 to launch a textile and spice trade company. The latter’s initial name was “Vimal,” later altered to “Only Vimal.” Dhirubhai Ambani had previously worked for a company in Yemen before relocating to Mumbai in 1958, where he established his own spice company. Later, he began to concentrate on the textile industry, and over time, he developed into one of India’s most renowned business magnates.
