Reliance Industries is one of the most renowned and successful business conglomerates in the world. From fuel and telecom to clothing Reliance dominates all these sectors. Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani is Asia’s richest person and one of the richest men in the world. The company is thriving every day and expanding its reach into other businesses as well. However the inception of Reliance was full of challenges. Its founder Dhirubhai Ambani started the business from scratch and took the company to the height of success with sheer dedication and hard work. 25 years ago Reliance started the world’s largest refinery in Gujarat’s Jamnagar. This was the dream of Dhirubhai Ambani which the Ambani family collectively realized. The Ambani family has a close connection to Gujarat as their roots belong to the state. While addressing an event celebrating the 25th anniversary of the iconic Jamnagar Refinery billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s wife Nita Ambani stated that Jamnagar is her birthplace workplace and a place of devotion. This location is the soul of Reliance and holds immense significance for the Ambani family. Jamnagar is not just a place. It is the soul of Reliance. It holds a very deep and dear place in our hearts she said. Jamnagar holds significant personal and familial importance as she highlighted its integral role in the growth of Reliance. She noted the citys strong connection to Kokilaben Ambani Dhirubhai Ambani Mukesh Ambani and the younger generation of the Ambani family. For Kokila Mummy it is her Janmabhoomi--the land of her birth representing her roots and values. She is here with us today and all this has been possible only because of her blessings. Thank you Mummy for everything you do for us she said. Dhirubhai Ambani envisioned building a grassroots refinery in Jamnagar in 1998. His hard work and dedication turned it into the worlds largest project. Mukesh Ambani fulfilled his father’s dream 25 years ago transforming Jamnagar into a hub of technology and development demonstrating his reverence and respect. Nita Ambani shared that Kokilaben’s blessings have always been with them. Kokilaben’s roots are in Jamnagar and she implant strong values in the family. According to Mukesh Ambani’s daughter Isha “Grandfather’s dream has been in our hearts for 25 years.” Their son Akash Ambani emphasised the development of AI infrastructure in Jamnagar and modernising the city. Anant Ambani remarked that Jamnagar is not just a place but the foundation of the familys faith and service. It is the result of 25 years of hard work. Against all odds and expert advice Dhirubhai Ambani was cautioned by leading project consultants about investing in a desolate region void of basic infrastructure such as roads electricity and sufficient drinking water. Dhirubhai turned doubt into determination pursuing not just an industrial setup but also his dream of a Nandanwan. Between 1996 and 1999 he and his committed team brought an engineering marvel to life in Jamnagar. Today the Jamnagar refinery complex boasts some of the worlds largest facilities such as the Fluidised Catalytic Cracker (FCC) Coker Alkylation Paraxylene Polypropylene Refinery Off-Gas Cracker (ROGC) and Petcoke gasification plants.
