Mumbai: — The head honcho of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) Mukesh Ambani was awarded the title of ‘Businessman of the Year 2010’ by Financial Chronicle last week, unanimously voted by FC’s senior editors. This dynamic industrialist from the highly regarded house of Reliance was an obvious winner for many reasons, beating out competition from the flock of other top-notch industrialist from the country. Known, for his risk-taking abilities, head strong attitude and creating share holder values, Mukesh Ambani is a person of multiple facets. Mounting to this esteemed status due to his successful foray into retail, hospitality, telecom and broadband, and a planned plunge into other high-growth sectors of power, pharmaceuticals and education was a battle that only an epic personality like him could have undertaken with a striding and directive mind-set. He set out to venture on his own with his father’s directive principles to guide him, and today he stands as the personification of excellence and power.

Mukesh Ambani has fired the dreams of many investors, just like his father Dhirubhai Ambani. He has always focused on creating ‘value’ over money for not just consumers but for his employers and associates as well. Standing true to the words of trust and reliability, Reliance has led the excellence pact for many years coming out as a triumphant monolith that extends value propositions and prospect for growth.

As he reaches his self actualization status, Mukesh Ambani has rigorously made efforts to associate himself more personally with the philanthropic arm of Reliance called ‘Reliance Foundation’. A humanitarian at heart, Mukesh Ambani has always supported the cause of education and empowerment for the youth. His commitment to excellence has found its way into charitable grounds and with this a hope now exists for the youth of this country to taste brilliance the Reliance way.

It does not come as a surprise that Mukesh Ambani is the winner of this title. This recognition is an appreciation of values that bind Mukesh Ambani and Reliance Industries. The mark of a successful company is when it strives for long-term sustainable growth. Even in the face of challenges, Mukesh Ambani has only grown from strength to strength, just like his company, reinforcing that; “commitment to growth carries on without hindrances.”
