    In the luxuriant penumbra cast by this Indian magnate, perhaps there are some small lillies that might flower proficuously also upon this western soil.

    Cashing on his dad’s success and goodwill!
    His dad was a real marvel.Hats off for creating a company like Reliance.If Ambani would have been alive,he would’ve been worth more than $ 85 bn which is far more than the wealth of the richest(currently) man i.e. $ 66 bn ( Warren Buffet)

    How can these people use the word “he STARTED ADAG”…he didn’t start it! It was just his piece of the cake.
