About Mukesh Ambani
Mukesh Ambani chairs and runs $125 billion (revenue) Reliance Industries, which has interests in petrochemicals, oil and gas, telecom, retail, media and financial services.
Reliance was founded by his late father Dhirubhai Ambani, a yarn trader, in 1966 as a small textile manufacturer. After his father's death in 2002, Ambani and his younger sibling Anil divvied up the family empire.
Reliance's telecom and broadband service Jio has over 500 million subscribers and Ambani has said he plans to list it in 2026. In 2023, Reliance listed its finance arm, Jio Financial Services.
Ambani's three children joined the board of Reliance in 2023. Son Akash heads Jio; daughter Isha oversees retail and financial services; and younger son Anant is in the energy business.
In 2026, Ambani announced plans for an $110 billion investment on AI infrastructure to be built across the country over the next seven years.
