Business secrets of Dhirubhai Ambani


He used some secrets throughout his life-time to become a business tycoon. Some of them are as follow:

Business Secret No. 1: Gather information, whatever it may be. Gather information about Governments be local, state, central or international. Gather information about products, companies, consumers, markets, people, services, politics and any thing, just anything and everything. Do not forget to get information of your competitors. Dhirubhai Ambani had mastered this secret. It was in his practice to gather information about anything and every thing.

He used to gather information, analyzed and processed those. He was also able to find opportunities out of those news and information. He was also quick to disburse those information to his sub-ordinates when and where required.

One of my friends, Prof. M.L. Sisodia, a senior professor of physics and research scholar once told me a story about Dhirubhai Ambani. The story shows his extra ordinary ability in gathering information. Mr. Sisodia had undergone a bye-pass surgery after a heart attack. Just after few days of his surgery his son was called on for an interview with Dhirubhai Ambani.

Dhirubhai wanted him for a senior position in his company. The very first question Dhirubhai Ambani asked him was " How is your father". This instance alone is enough to describes his capability of information gathering. We have to remember that it was not an Internet age.

Business Secret No. 2: Find an opportunity. He always endeavor to analyze whatever information are gathered. He used to do that to convert information into an opportunity, a profit making opportunity. According to him, " There is no invitation for making profits". You have to find it. He always searched for news and information, a news or information that can earn him profit.

Business Secret No. 3: Jump from an orbit to the next. No matter where you are. Just work there. Master that place or situation. Accumulate some energy and jump into another orbit, a higher one. Stay there some time. control that orbit. Master it and again jump to another higher level, the next orbit. This is the way to success at faster pace.

Dhirubhai did it many times. He did it life long.

Caution: Do not jump from one orbit to another in hurry before mastering the present orbit. It could be proved dangerous. Do it patiently.

Business Secret No. 4: Complete projects on time. Thrive to do it before the scheduled time. He and his sons completed all their projects on time, mostly before time. However big the projects were, they completed those timely. No matter how much disturbance or hurdles came in their way.

Dhirubhai Ambani and his sons Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani derived some techniques to do so. They kept close eyes on their projects to monitor them effectively.

Vision: Dhirubhai Ambani

More business secrets of Dhirubhai Ambani


Business secret No. 5: Think big. Think global. He thought global much before the globalization took place.

Most of the Indian companies were not doing well in the global scenario at his time. Most of the Indian companies were not acting with global standards. He made world class projects and world class factories. No body in India could even think about that in his time.

Business Secret No. 6: Hire the best people. Pay them well.

Dhirubhai Ambani was able to employ the best people, top ranking masters of their respective fields. He was the best pay master of his time. He never compromised in Quality and timeliness. Only those top ranking masters could make it possible. Human resource is the best resource, according to him.

Business Secret No. 7: Pay share holders well. He paid his share holders the best.

His ambitious projects had hunger for capital. He required huge amount of money at that time to make his dreams true. Bankers and financiers were failed to assume his capabilities. They were reluctant and not agreed to fund those big projects. Funding his projects was risky in their eyes.

Dhirubhai Ambani went to his share holders as he recognized them the best source to funding his ambitious projects.

He went to his shareholders and asked money from them. The shareholders jumped out to fund his projects. He paid handsome to his shareholders in return. What he paid no body could even imagine. Shareholders trusted on Dhirubhai Ambani and they were rewarded for their trust.

He realized the fact that the share holders can not be satisfied with dividends only that was the trend at that time. He knew the value of capital appreciation. He paid bonus, gave rights issues to his share holders in addition to regular dividends. He went beyond the expectations of his investors. Even he went to the extent of challenging the law. Once he converted a non-convertible debentures into shares. Share holders got enormous profit, but it was against the law. He fought against that law and the government was compelled to change it.

Dhirubhai Ambani had highest number of shareholders with him in his time. He boosted market capitalization of BSE. He brought millions of share holders under his umbrella, many of them were first time in the stock market.

  • Anil Ambani
  • None of them

The world number one in wealth

Dhirubhai Ambani followed these secret techniques of business through out his lifetime.

He was not much interested in the books or magazines about management. Rather he left those for his sub-ordinates, his managers. He had an appetite, a never ending hunger for news.

He had given some ideas which are the Business Mantras indeed. One who follow these..... are at the doorstep of success.

A recent Bollywood movie "Guru" has depicted his life.

These are some secrets of a pioneer. Starting from a lower level employee of a gas filling station, he became an industrial giant, a global conglomerate. His name was included in the list of Fortune 500. He could manage an yearly revenue of $ 78 billions in his life time. No Indian industrialist could achieve that level up to that time. His ambition was not ended with that. He was dreaming of World No.1. He could not achieve that because of his untimely death.

However, it has been achieved through the Reliance industries that he founded. Dhirubhai Ambani is world No.1 today, though after his death. The assets of Mukesh and Anil ambani ( Both sons of Dhirubhai Ambani, between whom his assets were distributed ) together has crossed Bil Gates of Microsoft corporation.

The reason why he becomae great becuase..

1) He was a big cheat , unfaithful and bad towards his colleagues..

2) Its was not the age of cheaters..people around him were good....

He is the reason for bring cheat and fraud into this country..

I pray to GOD the Ambanis suffers a long terrible death..

because they have brought hungry and suffering into India..

Its not easy to become ambani now..because cheaters are everywhere now including the ambanis..

Dal roti though good means is always better than any possesed weath gathered by suppressing the poor and weak..

I pray to GOD ..show us urself by bring him ( the ambani rakshas ) a solid death thorugh a down to earth DAL ROTI PERSON..

No not true that Dhirubhai would be the richest today since combined wealth of his heir adds to more than Bill Gates. Actually, Bill also has given away more than 35% of his wealth to Charity.

However, Sam Walton would be the richest because combined net worth of his 6 heirs is more than combined wealth of the world's 3 richest billionaires.

Sunil 22 months ago

have been going thru these comments for a couple of minutes, and many of them said these secrets which he followed like changin his orbit frequently, and finding opportunities etc etc,,,to be like him being more precise u need to have guts in your butts,,,,In a legal chamber lined with vellum-bound case references, a senior lawyer took an equally stark view. ‘Today the fact is that Ambani is bigger than government,’ said the lawyer in all seriousness. ‘He can make or break prime ministers. In the United States you can build up a supererogation but the political system is still bigger than you. In India the system is weak. If the stock exchange dares to expose Ambani, he tells it: I will pull my company shares out and make you collapse. I am bigger than your exchange. If the newspapers criticise, he can point out they are dependent on his advertising and he has his journalists in every one of their departments. If the political parties take a stand against him, he has his men in every party who can pull down or embarrass the leaders. He is a threat to the system. Today he is undefeatable". Please read this book "The Polyester Prince" , few dialogues which are used in guru movie were actyally said by dhirubhai,,,"I always carry two slippers a Golden one and Silver one" & "dhirubhai se ladna tho dhirubhai banke lekin dhirubhai ek hi hai"

JOGINDER 22 months ago

Its right he have all the qualities of a leader the one thing i like about him is his never ending hunger.Be hunger keep feeding and more about his passion of being no. 1 n always strive to get it n the risk taking ability....the higher u'll take the risk ...........the more bigger u'll be

Hello Sir,

This is very informative. I like Ambani for 1 reason that he created wealth for the country. Made many ppl rich who had stakes in his companies.

But Reliance is more like inclined towards profit than towards social values which TATA follows.

I heard long back that Reliance is not allowed for taking candidates from IIMs because of this reason. But I am not sure of this news.

There is no doubt that Dhirubhai was the best businessman of his time. The best part about him is that he very often said "I am deaf to the word 'no'", which still inspires the youth of India. He is a perfect role model.

What do you have to say about Dhirubhai Ambani's famous quote when he was asked by a journalist what his key to success was:

"One must have ambition, and know the minds of men."

Is this principle more important than gathering and acting on business information?

Goshu 2 years ago

I like the article, and the fact is that not only Dhirubhai used these methods of information collection to succeed. John D. Rockefeller was another user of such methods. So was Henry Ford. But I think, that the most important aspect in a successful business lies in bringing the best people together, and creating a certain culture, which "forces" people to work together in a continuous manner. Standard Oil, John D. Rockefeller's company, achieved its peak long after he retired, simply because he had built the necessary culture to carry the company through. Information gathering is important, but if you don't have the culture you won't last... after you retire from the company it will stop moving. The most important aspect, as I previously mentioned is the culture that you build. That's what keeps and attracts talented people to the company, and these people know the importance of information gathering, and acting/improving on it.

Hi Rajan,

It is well known fact that Dhirubhai Ambani was highly manipulative. He himself admitted that many times.

Most of the people manipulate lot of things. Few people know how American industrialists and even the federal Government manipulate things in their favor.

There is nothing succeeds like success. When someone becomes a celebrity out of his success, all the weird and manipulative acts of him are comfortably forgotten! I still remember a period some 25 years ago how Dhirubhai used every manipulative, bribing and skills to get his business going through overt and covert corrupt practices practically at every department in the Central Government.

This is really a nice article. I got really inspired by Dhirubhai Ambani. He really proved that man has infinte potential and it depends upon a man how to use it. Hats of to late Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani. His story is really a good motivation for people who wantes to do something in their life.

The hub is very informative. Dhirubhai Ambani and his two sons are proud sons of India, who made India global. The world knows India is a poor country. But Ambani family had shown to the world that money could be earned also by Indian business skills and few Indians could also be rich people like other countries.

Dear Santosh,

Dhiru Bhai Ambani was a great businessman from rags to riches. He also nurtured his sons. Mukesh Ambani is maintaining the tradition. However, I reserve the word "Great" for the father, Dhiru Bhai Ambani.

I wish you all success in your business life. Please try to learn and practice his secrets.

Dear Stooge,

yes, he had exploited loopholes of the system. He thought these as an oppurtunity. Hunger for news and info made him capable of finding loopholes which he could successfully utilised to achieve his goal.

I agree withyou that his lifestory should be read religiously to find the sucess mantra.

As far as I know and understand, Dhirubhai's best mantra of success was to exploit the loopholes in the system and the government set-up. Sometimes, he did things which could not be deemed legal. Still, No doubt, he was one of the most brillient brain of his entire era - someone in the league of founders of Microsoft and Google. It is so good to see that he finally achieved his dream of making his group world's #1, even though it was a couple of years after his death.

There are many case studies on him and his group. All the budding entrepreneurs should read them religiously.

Good one Jyoti. You surely provied some food for thought to all of us.
