I think, if India did have something to be ’Proud’ of, (after the Taj Mahal), it is to be the BirthPlace of Our Great Ambanis, ’Dhirubhai Ambani’.
Do you all agree with me??? Well!, It is the Fact.
The Ambanis have really done India Proud. And we all must be grateful to them for their Enormous Contribution to the Industry and Society.
They maybe be a Monopoly, so what, they have Worked their Way Up from Scratch. The Perfect Example of ’RAGS TO RICHES’ story in this world. Thanks to Mani Ratnam, with his Hit film ’GURU’, through which, I actually came to know of their History. And Abhishek Bachhan has played his Role ’JUST SUPERB’.
Honestly, our Ambani’s with their Brains, have developed India’s Industry to such a high altitude. From Scratch to Castle, the man, ’Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani’, struggled, juggled, fought and with a Dead Strong Determination, created the Famous Brand Name ’AMBANI’S’. When I saw ’GURU’, I was like zapped!!! to come to know of so many things....about Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani. My first reaction after watching that movie was to think to myself "How I wish I was born in the Great Ambani Family".
Though people call him a ’Manipulator’, I say his was a Very Good Manipulator. And as per say Mr. Dhirubhai followed an ’Open - Door’ Policy. I can’t say much about the two Brothers, Mukesh and Anil, except that Both of them are Very Successful. Mukesh has the responsibility for Reliance Industries and IPCL while Anil has the responsibility for Reliance Infocomm, Reliance Energy and Reliance Capital.
I was very happy when Tina Munim married Anil, at that time, I was a kid, but I was a Great Great Fan of Tina Munim.She really is so pretty, even now, though she has put on considerale weight, she still has that Cutey Pie look in her face. Just like Mukesh’s wife! ( Well, could be the Botox Injections from Kaya...!!!!??? Heheheh!!!)
Anyway, my main reason writing this Diary Post is not to praise the Brothers or their Wives, but to share with you some Leadership lessons of Ambanism .
Yes, I really likes them and wanted you all also to read them and make atleast some of them a part of your Life’s Lessons.
