It's incredible the way Mukesh Ambani became India's richest person and made his company, Reliance Industries Limited top the list of India's biggest companies. The reason why Mukesh Ambani's success as a business tycoon is full of inspiration is the fact that he is a college dropout.

After that, Mukesh Ambani went to the Institute of Chemical Technology at the University of Mumbai, where he completed his Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering. Not only this, Dhirubhai Ambani even sent his son, Mukesh Ambani, to Stanford University to pursue an MBA degree. However, it was in 1980 when Dhirubhai Ambani told Mukesh Ambani to leave his degree and return to India to help him assist in his business.
