About Me

Mukesh Ambani chairs and runs $125 billion (revenue) Reliance Industries, which has interests in petrochemicals, oil and gas, telecom, retail, media and financial services. Reliance was founded by his late father Dhirubhai Ambani, a yarn trader, in 1966 as a small textile manufacturer. After his father's death in 2002, Ambani and his younger sibling Anil divvied up the family empire. Reliance's telecom and broadband service Jio has over 500 million subscribers and Ambani has said he plans to list it in 2026. In 2023, Reliance listed its finance arm, Jio Financial Services. Ambani has expanded Reliance into green energy. The company will be investing $80 billion over the next decade or so on renewable energy and building a new complex next to its refinery. Ambani's three children joined the board of Reliance in 2023. Son Akash heads Jio; daughter Isha oversees retail and financial services; and younger son Anant is in the energy business.
