The Story of a Global Company

About this book:

From a tiny, 350-square-foot office with one telephone to a global empire spanning petrochemicals, telecom, retail, and green energy—this is the definitive story of how one man’s audacious dream reshaped an entire nation. *A History of Reliance Industries* takes you inside the relentless vision of Dhirubhai Ambani, who left school at 16 and returned from Aden with just 50 rupees, only to build a conglomerate that would rival the world’s mightiest corporations.
