![]() Peek in to the Past Dhirajlal Hirachand Ambai ( Dhirubhai is a nickname ) came from a tiny village that is not even a dot on the political map of Gujarat. But Chorwad, in Junagadh district, today remembers that its most famous scion born- was the progeny of a humble school teacher, and that he could not go in for higher education simply because there was no money in the family kitty. |
![]() There are scores of rags to-riches
stories in every society, but there is only one on Dhirubhai. Dhirubhai
earned quite handsomely in the yarn business and graduated from a yarn
trader to a mill owner in 1966 by setting up a small textile mill at
Naroda, near Ahmedabad and then his tryst with success followed. \ A man
far ahead of his times, Dhirubhai Ambani epitomised the dauntless
entrepreneurial spirit. From a humble beginning, he went on to create an
enviable business empire within a span of just 25 years. The Rs.60,000
crore Reliance Group is a living testimony to his effort. |
