India Billionaires
Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, has reshaped India’s economy with the Jamnagar refinery—the world’s largest—India’s top retail chain, and telecom disruptor Reliance Jio. Born in Aden in 1957, he returned to Mumbai, studied chemical engineering, and left Stanford’s MBA to join the family business in 1981. Under his leadership, Reliance expanded from textiles into petrochemicals, telecom, retail, and green energy. His fortune, often surpassing $100 billion, makes him Asia’s richest man. Ambani’s empire includes digital platforms, IPL’s Mumbai Indians, and global media ventures. Through Reliance Foundation, led by Nita Ambani, the family supports nationwide education and healthcare initiatives. Advocating technology adoption from 5G to AI, he has been awarded the Padma Vibhushan, featured in Time 100, and named Fortune Businessperson of the Year.
