Dhirubhai Ambani (Dhirajlal Hirachand Ambani) was an Indian business tycoon who founded Reliance Industries in 1977.
Dhirubhai handed over the control of Reliance to his sons, Mukesh and Anil in 1986 following his first stroke. The two brothers had issues over ownership along with some personal differences.
After the death of Dhirubhai Ambani, the group was split into Reliance Industries Limited headed by Mukesh, and Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group headed by Anil.
At the time of his death the combined fortune of the family was $6 billion. Today, Reliance Industries has more than 250,000 employees and is on the Fortune 500 list of the world’s largest companies by revenue. His son, Mukesh Ambani has also consistently been regarded as India’s richest man over the last decade.
Dhirubhai as most people called him was known for being a risk-taker with huge ambition and this is what ultimately made him successful.
