Mukesh Ambani – Life Lessons
We often hear stories being told about children inheriting their parents’ fortune, yet relatively few are told where children take their parents’ dream and turn it into the most profitable venture in the world. When one looks at the path taken by Mukesh Ambani, this is exactly what they will say.
From textiles to polyester strands and further into petrochemicals and oil refining, he made numerous new world class fabricating offices. He took over the Indian telecommunications market when he launched Reliance Jio in 2016.
Mukesh Ambani has been India’s richest man for the past decade and as of March 2019, he is the thirteenth richest man in the world. Here are a few things we can learn from his life.
1) Let your work speak on your behalf
On the off chance you ask Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani to share his secret of success, he may say extremely few words. Since the man is among the individuals who are ‘doers’ and not ‘talkers.’ The business tycoon usually keeps a low social profile and yet, he is one of the most talked about people in the Country. Ambani’s focus has always been on his business and he is credited for building the largest empire in Asia. Need we say more?
2) Dream big
Just like his father Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh Ambani also likes to dream big in business and in life. Back then, Dhirubhai Ambani dreamt of becoming the largest producer of polyester fiber and yarn in the world and he actually did it. Now, his son has taken over Indian oil and gas market and Indian telecom market with this very attitude. Needless to say, his billion dollar skyscraper house is also a result of dreaming big.
3) Depend on yourself
Ambani, in an interview, said he did not want “people carrying their wisdom in notebooks as if it some kind of secretive operations.”
Though he learnt to trust a few people over the years, Ambani constantly accentuated on the significance of being associated in one’s own business. He always trusts his own instincts and knows nothing can match the aspects of self learning and perseverance.
4) Hunt for new ventures
Mukesh Ambani is constantly on the hunt for new opportunities. It always pays well to observe and understand your surroundings. You may have created the best product or service, but there is always a chance a new product or service could outdo yours. It is better you keep your eyes wide open for any new venture or opportunity which may come your way.
5) Stay strong, don’t panic
Mukesh Ambani joined his father’s business at a very young age and while he was still in the process of learning the business, his father passed away. This did not shatter him. Ambani gathered all his strength and steered Reliance Industries Limited to become the biggest Asian company. Mukesh Ambani strongly believes that strength and perseverance can bring you out of any hardships.
Mukesh Ambani is one of those names whose accomplishments in the business world is a testament to India’s rise as a business power. A man with no capital, no associations and no Ivy League degree demonstrated to the world what is conceivable with grit, resilience and diligent work. Year after year, Reliance Industries only continues to become bigger and better. With this kind of work, Ambani will soon be among the top 10 richest people in the world.

Delhi NCR-based gaming startup Zupee has acquired Mumbai-based microdrama platform Vertical TV in a deal valued under INR 40 Cr. This move strengthens Zupee Studio, its short-video arm launched in September 2025, by integrating Vertical TV’s expertise in bite-sized dramas like romance and thrillers.
Facing challenges from India’s 2025 real-money gaming ban, Zupee valued at $1 Bn after raising $120 Mn has pivoted to non-gaming content, including recent layoffs of 40% of its workforce. The acquisition builds on its November 2025 purchase of Australian AI firm Nucanon for interactive storytelling, targeting its 200 Mn+ users with engaging, mobile-first formats.
This deal underscores the rising microdrama trend in India, helping Zupee diversify amid regulatory pressures and compete in the short-video space dominated by quick, shareable content for on-the-go audiences.
T.N. Seshan’s name stands tall in India’s history as the man who transformed the nation’s electoral system with extraordinary courage and integrity. Born in 1932 in Kerala, Seshan grew up with values of discipline, education, and service to the nation — virtues that shaped his illustrious journey. From his early brilliance at Madras Christian College to his advanced studies in public administration at Harvard University, Seshan’s path reflected rare determination and intellect. Joining the Indian Administrative Service in 1955, he built a reputation as a no‑nonsense officer committed to efficiency and honesty, serving in key roles such as Secretary of Defense and overseeing vital national programs.
As the Chief Election Commissioner of India in 1990, T.N. Seshan sparked a new era of electoral integrity. In a system once marred by corruption, violence, and malpractice, Seshan brought order, fear, and respect through his groundbreaking reforms. He introduced voter ID cards, imposed strict spending limits on campaigns, and insisted on transparency at every level of the election process. Despite criticism from political circles that labeled him dictatorial, his relentless pursuit of fairness empowered every citizen to vote fearlessly. Under his leadership, the Election Commission became a symbol of strength and integrity in Indian democracy.
Seshan’s passing in November 2019 marked the end of an era, but his message continues to resonate across generations. Leaders from every corner of the country mourned the loss of the man who restored faith in free and fair elections. His enduring legacy reminds us that true leadership lies not in wielding power, but in serving people with honesty, courage, and conviction. T.N. Seshan’s life remains a timeless inspiration a reminder that democracy thrives only when its citizens are vigilant, responsible, and fearless.
