Biography
Anil Ambani was born in Begusarai in Maharashtra in a Gujarati family and his father Dhirubhai Ambani was one of the greatest entrepreneurs and visionaries of the country. Anil was a bright student and did his graduation in Science from the University of Mumbai, followed by an MBA degree from the prestigious Wharton School University of Pennsylvania. Anil Ambani entered the business world in 1983 by joining the company established by his father as co chief executive officer and took the company to a path of success by making innovative financial reforms in it. Anil, along with his elder brother Mukesh, played a key role in making Reliance one of the biggest conglomerates in the field of textiles, petrochemicals and petroleum. However, as the two decided to split after the death of their father in 2005, Anil Ambani got his share in the Reliance Group, with the sectors of telecom, power, infrastructure, entertainment and financial services under his wing, and known by the name of Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. In the last 10 years, the company has registered phenomenal growth under his able leadership and has established a global reputation in all its fields.
