Mumbai, April 19: Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani, business tycoon and son of legendary entrepreneur and industrialist Mukesh Ambani celebrates his 61st birthday today. India's richest man, who introduced 'Jio' in 2016 and brought a storm in the telecom sector by making 4G internet connectivity a mass reality by introducing the services at dirt cheap prices, is a man who doesn't speak often but when he speaks he makes sure he is heard louder. Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), has year after year topped the Forbes annual list of India's richest tycoon list. He has been crowned as India's richest man again in 2018, making it 11th time in a row. He is the 19th richest man in the world and the richest Indian. His real time net worth according to forbes at the moment is $40.9 Billion- that's more than Rs 26,30,20,00,00,000.00. Do the math now and keep counting the zero(s). He also owns the world's most expensive residential or private house in the world named Antilla.
The annual "Family Day" or general meeting conducted by Reliance is one of the biggest gatherings in the world for any business house. So what makes Mukesh Ambani so successful? Mukesh Ambani's wife Nita Ambani is also a popular figure for her active interest in sports and philanthropy. His son Akash Ambani is now emerging on the business scene as well along with Mukesh's daughter Isha Ambani.
Many credit Mukesh Ambani's success to his down-to-earth approach and clarity in thinking. But he is also a risk taker. But not of the careless kind. He is a calculated risk-taker who believes in taking risks only to grow higher and humbling the competition both at the same time. Calling Jio a digital revolution, he has bet more than $33 billion on the telecom gamble. But it's paying off and paying off well for the tycoon. Reliance Trends and retail is already India's top retail chain. To paraphrase and make the old saying in his context,it can be said that: All that Mukesh touches, turns into gold.
