Dhirubhai Ambani

Born in 1932 in a Gujarat village to a schoolteacher father, Dhirubhai Ambani worked as a migrant laborer in Aden before returning to India and founding Reliance Industries. Starting with polyester-yarn imports, he integrated vertically into petrochemicals and oil refining, building in a single generation one of India's three largest conglomerates alongside Tata and Birla. He pioneered the 'equity cult' by renting stadiums for shareholder meetings attended by tens of thousands of retail investors.
