Mukesh Ambani is the wealthiest person in India, with a mammoth net worth of Rs. 7.65 lakh crores. He is the Chairman and Managing Director of one of India's biggest conglomerates, Reliance Industries Limited. As per a Forbes report, Mukesh Ambani is currently the 11th richest person in the world and the sole Asian member in the coveted 100 billion USD club.

However, Mukesh turned his doubters into believers as he continued to make significant decisions in multiple industries. He joined Reliance Industries Limited back in 1981, but after his father's untimely demise at the age of 69, Mukesh worked on RIL's expansion and diversification. He makes sure that RIL doesn't rely solely on its traditional ventures, such as oil and petrochemicals.
