Several companies of Anil Ambani were raided by the Enforcement Directorate  under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) leading to several stories about Anil Ambanis legacy. Anil Ambani’s Reliance Infocomm later rebranded as Reliance Communications (RCom)—once stood as the telecom flagship of the Reliance empire. In the beginning Reliance Communications (RCom) embodied disruptive growth with slashing call rates bundled handsets and rapid expansion into India’s underserved markets. However within a decade Anil Ambanis spiraled from market leader to bankruptcy. How did Reliance Infocomm grew so big? Launched in the early 2000s Reliance Infocomm rapidly grew under Anil Ambani’s leadership after the 2005 split of Reliance Industries. The company pioneered CDMA services in India with the “Monsoon Hungama” campaign making mobile telephony accessible to lower-income segments. Riding high on investor enthusiasm RCom’s IPO in 2006 was oversubscribed dozens of times allowing it to build one of the country’s largest telecom networks. Notably Reliance Infocomm revolutionized the telecom market by offering CDMA mobile phones for Rs 501 under the Monsoon Hungama plan in 2003 giving a tough competition to Idea and Bharti Airtel. How did Reliance Communications’ downfall come? Reliance Communications’ downfall was driven by poor strategic choices including sticking too long with outdated CDMA technology and entering the GSM space late. The launch of Reliance Jio by Mukesh Ambani worsened its decline. Mounting debt failed deals and rising losses led RCom to file for bankruptcy in 2019 marking the collapse of what was once a telecom giant.
