Mukesh Ambani’s Early Life
Yemen, the Middle East Country, is the place where Mukesh Ambani was born on April 19, 1957. His father, one of the legends of India, Dhirubhai Ambani was used to serve as a petrol pump attendant there.
When the Ambani family moved to India, their standard of living enriched and they started to live in an apartment, which was of 2 bedrooms. Here Mukesh’s father successfully started his business in the textile industry, under the Vimal brand.
Within a short time, Dhirubhai Ambani purchased a 14-floors building for where his family could live in. He wanted Mukesh to have a normal childhood as he believed it to be the best for Mukesh and so Mukesh had to use public transport for going to school and did not receive any allowance from his father. And from the Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai, Maharashtra, he completed his graduation and became a chemical engineer.
Dropped Out of Stanford University
When Mukesh was pursuing his MBA from Stanford University, his father asked him to drop out and join him to set up the plant, his father believed that real-life skills get harnessed through experiences, and not by sitting in the classroom.
Mukesh obeyed his father’s instructions and played a very significant role in setting up the plant, and he has done it exceptionally well as it was very advanced. It became possible because, for his father, Mukesh was a business partner and was allowed to make contributions even if Mukesh did not have experience.

And in this split of the assets, Refining, Oil and Gas, and Petrochemicals companies were now of Mukesh’s, and Telecom, Financial Services, and Electricity segments were given to Anil.
