3. INTRODUCTION
Dhirajlal Hirachand "Dhirubhai" Ambani (28
December 1932 – 6 July 2002) was an Indian
business tycoon who founded Reliance Industries
in Bombay with his cousin.
Dhirubhai Ambani son of a school teacher in a remote
village in rural Gujarat, chose to build his own
spectacular dream by hiring as well as using some
of the country’s most shrewd and influential minds.

4. BIRTH OF RELIANCE INDUSTRIES
 the birth and history of Reliance Trading Corporation (which
imported polyester and exported spices) later renamed
Reliance Textiles Corporation before finally being named
Reliance Industries show, both camps were spot on in their
estimation of the man who returned from Aden to begin his
tryst with destiny in 1958 with just Rs 50,000.
 He was 26 then but had already given enough indications of
his money-making abilities while first working as a petrol
pump attendant and then as a clerk in an oil company.
 No one, of course, could have imagined then that the former
student of Junagadh’s Bahadur Kanji High School, who during
the sixties lived in a one-room chawl in Mumbai with his wife
and children, would be ranked by Forbes as the world’s 138th-
richest person, with an estimated net worth of $2.9 billion in
2002, the year he succumbed to a vascular stroke.

5.  In 1976-77, Reliance had an annual turnover of Rs 70
crore (Rs 700 million).
 By the time he passed away, Ambani had converted
this fledgling enterprise into a Rs 75,000-crore (Rs
750-billion) colossus -- an achievement that earned
Reliance a place in the global Fortune 500 list, the
first ever Indian private company to do so.
 Ambani, who established his first textile mill, turning
out polyester cloth under the Vimal brand name at
Naroda near Ahmedabad in 1966, set up a polyester
plant in the 1980s.
 In the 1990s he turned aggressively toward
petrochemicals, oil refining, telecommunications and
financial services.
 On the flip side, many say, he had to pay a heavy
price in later years for remaining a hero in the eyes of
ordinary shareholders.

6. He appeared in the The Sunday Times top 50
businessmen in Asia. Ambani took Reliance Industries
public in 1977 and by 2007, the combined fortune of the
family was $60 billion, making the Ambanis the third
richest family in the world
He probably holds a world record in setting up a 10,000
tonne polyester yarn plant in 14 months.
In 1976-77, Reliance had an annual turnover of Rs 70
crore (Rs 700 million).
By the time he passed away, Ambani had converted this
fledgling enterprise into a Rs 75,000-crore (Rs 750-
billion) colossus -- an achievement that earned Reliance
a place in the global Fortune 500 list, the first ever Indian
private company to do so.

7.  Dhirubhai Ambani has undoubtedly made
enormous capital in his lifetime. But he started his
journey with Rs 1 ands while he crested wealth it is
not for him but equally for his thousand of share
holders.

8. Following a stroke in 1986, Ambani handed over
control of Reliance to his sons Mukesh and Anil.
Ambani died after a major stroke on 6 July
2002 in Breach Candy Hospital.
In November 2004, in an interview, admitted to
haMukesh Ambani ving differences with his brother
Anil over 'ownership issues.' He also said that the
differences "are in the private domain." After the
death of Dhirubhai Ambani, the group was split into
Reliance Industries Limited, headed by Mukesh
Ambani, and Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group
(Reliance ADA Group), headed by Anil Ambani.
RISING OF AMBANI BROTHERS

9. HE COULD ALL THIS BECAUSE HE COULD
DREAM, AND DREAM BIG
Here are some inspiring quotes by Dhirubhai
Ambani which will give wings to your dreams
 “If you don’t build your dream, someone else will
hire you to help them build theirs”.
 “Think Big Think Fast ,Think Ahead .Ideas are no
one monopoly.”
 If you’re born poor it’s not your fault but if you die
poor it’s your fault
 True Entrepreneurship come from Risk Taking
 If you work with determination and with perfection,
success will follow you.
