- Owns the cashcow RIL and IPCL
- To pay a huge amount to Anil
- RIL to continue guarantees to Reliance Infocomm and RCIL
- Gas supply commitments to Anil-owned Reliance Energy
The Pressure Points:
- Has to be ready for his next business battle with Purnendu Chatterjee who, after his takeover of Basell, has announced he wants global dominance in petrochemicals
- May not be able to use RIL's cashflows for expansion/diversification due to compensation commitments to Anil; may hurt RIL's investment plans
- His credibility has been dented because of corporate governance issues raised by Anil; needs to rebuild it
- May waste his time nursing the beating his ego has taken in the past 7 months; may spend a lot of his energy thinking of ways to get back at Anil
- Will face pressure about key loyalists-has publicly distanced Anand by removing him from IPCL board and Manoj Modi will find himself in the dock on the issue of re-routing of international calls
