Dhirubhai Ambani: Against all odds: A story of courage, perseverance and hope / Ambani, Dhirubhai; Krishnamurthy, A.G. 2008  Book
Ambani, Dhirubhai Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New Delhi, McGrawHill Education India(Private) Limited, 2008.
Description xx, 130pRed spine
Summary/Abstract Dhirubhai and Reliance's success have been so phenomenal that most people are unable to see beyond he glitter of their wealth. Dhirubhai's success was by no means a walk in the park. He had to fight long and hard for it. And that is what is so inspiring about his life and success. It gives us the courage 'to dream...with our eyes open' as he put it. This is a collection of stories not just about dreams but about the price that you pay for achieving them. Dhirubhai's path was liberally sprinkled with obstacles. Some of them were deliberately placed by peers who hoped in vain to slow down his hard-to-beat pace, and some by fate itself. But unlike you and me who would probably change course after overcoming a few, he on the other hand, persevered, found a way around them, bulldozed his way through the others, but more importantly never, ever lost hope, and was rewarded a hundredfold because of it. This is a story of the triumph of hope.

Polyester prince: the rise of Dhirubhai Ambani / McDonald, Hamish 1998  Book
McDonald, Hamish Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New South Wales, Allen & Unwin, 1998.
Description xxi, 273pCream spine
Summary/Abstract Dhirubhai Ambani's life is a rags-to-riches story, from Bombay's crowded pavements and bazaars to the city's extravagantly wealthy social circles where business tycoons, stockmarket speculators, smugglers, politicians and Hindi film stars mingle, make money, make and break marriages and carry out prolonged feuds-sometimes violent, often histrionic." "Until the arrival of Ambani, India's big business scene was dominated by a few industrial houses from British times. In just 26 years since its foundation, Ambani's Reliance group has risen to rival these houses. By 1995 the group had 2.6 million investors." "Along with the dramatic expansion of the Reliance Group have come intricate political connections, a whole raft of corruption charges and a rollercoaster of booms and crashes for Ambani and his company. This study shows how capitalism emerges by fair means and foul in the new industrial countries of the Third World, and is one of very few studies of Asian or Third World tycoons.
