The Founder’s Mindset and the 10 Tenets
"Our founder, Shri Dhirubhai Ambani, had a mighty big vision and a soaring ambition, and also an indomitable willpower to translate his vision into action, surmounting the stiffest of obstacles that came his way.
Today, Reliance has grown into one of the world's largest and most valuable business enterprises. We have collectively succeeded in growing Reliance from strength to greater strength only because each one of us in the Leadership Team has internalised the Founder's Mindset.
What do I mean by Founder's Mindset? It means working incessantly to preserve and further enrich the Purpose, Philosophy and Passion of our Founder Shri Dhirubhai Ambani."
- Mukesh Ambani
Chairman and Managing Director, RIL
