Barring a short period of surge due to Reliance’s output from the Krishna-Godavari basin, natural gas production in the country has failed to rise meaningfully, negating expectations of having assured green fuel supplies at economic rates on long-term basis.
“The whole DNA of his business was not only to innovate for survival but also to innovate to change the rules of the business game,” says Pritam Singh, former director, IIM Lucknow.
Stressing that, in this new world, data is the new wealth, Ambani said, "India's data must be controlled and owned by Indian people and not by corporates, especially global corporations."
Reliance Naval and Engineering Limited operates the country's largest integrated shipbuilding facility and has obtained a license and contract to build warships.
While Ambani was estimated to be worth $44.3 billion on Friday as RIL shares rose 1.6 percent, Ma's wealth stood at $44 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
While the two families have refused to comment, if sources are to be believed an announcement of engagement can be made in next few weeks with wedding being planned for early December.
Ambani retains the richest Indian title for the sixth year running and this year he has climbed to top 15 in the Hurun global rich list for the first time.
