Mukesh Ambani

• Early Life: Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani was born on April 19, 1957, in Aden, Yemen, to Dhirubhai Ambani and Kokilaben Ambani. In the late 1950s, the Ambani family relocated to India, where Dhirubhai began building what would become Reliance Industries.
• Education: He attended Hill Grange High School in Mumbai for his early education. Later, he pursued a Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical Engineering from the Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai. Mukesh then enrolled in an MBA program at Stanford University but left in 1980 to assist his father in expanding Reliance Industries.
• Net Worth and Assets: As of February 2025, Mukesh Ambani’s net worth is estimated at $90.5 billion, making him one of the richest individuals in the world. His wealth is largely attributed to his substantial stake in Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), which accounts for the majority of his fortune.
• Mukesh Ambani’s net worth has seen consistent growth over the years, driven by the expansion of RIL into new sectors such as telecommunications (Reliance Jio) and retail (Reliance Retail). The success of these ventures has significantly boosted RIL’s market capitalization, contributing to Ambani’s increasing wealth.
• Business Ventures and Key Investment: Under his leadership, RIL has expanded beyond its original petrochemicals and refining businesses into telecommunications, retail, and digital services.
• Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, Reliance Retail Ventures Limited, Reliance Petroleum Limited, Reliance Strategic Business Ventures Limited (RSBVL), Jio Payments Bank. 
• In 2019, Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Brands Limited (RBL) entered into a joint venture with the iconic American jeweller Tiffany & Co. to bring the brand to the Indian market. 
• Investment Philosophy: As demonstrated by Reliance Jio's digital transformation, he incorporates state-of-the-art technology into several businesses. Diversification across industries such as digital services, retail, and renewable energy aids in risk mitigation and the capture of new opportunities. Using programs run by the Reliance Foundation, he highlights social responsibility. To ensure steady growth, his long-term vision centres on making strategic investments in industries that are prepared for the future. Reliance Industries has become a major force in the world because of this strategy.
• Reliance’s retail and digital services units have attracted $50 billion in investments since 2020. These divisions, part of Reliance Industries Ltd., contribute significantly to the group’s $200 billion market value and are preparing for their public listings.​​​
