About Reliance Industries

Founded by Dhirubhai Ambani as a small textile manufacturer (Vimal), Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is today the undisputed titan of Indian business. Led by Mukesh Ambani, RIL operates the world's largest and most complex single-site oil refinery in Jamnagar, Gujarat, which acts as the cash engine for the group.

Over the last decade, RIL executed a massive, highly successful pivot toward consumer-facing businesses. Jio completely disrupted the Indian telecom sector with cheap 4G data, bringing hundreds of millions online. Simultaneously, Reliance Retail became India's largest retailer. RIL is now pivoting again, investing billions into New Energy (solar, hydrogen, batteries).
