"Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of self-reliance can be attained by making use of Internet and technology."

“The food market is much bigger than the software services market. And the money goes straight into the hands of millions of farmers. The spinoffs are enormous -- jobs, houses, durables, a whole new consumption boom will start in rural areas.”

“Even when I was doing chemical engineering, I was working almost full time for Reliance. I finished college at 2.30 pm and went straight to the office. I remember, we were raided and my father was in the US.”

“Mukesh cut his teeth at the group’s Patalganga plant immediately after his stint at Stanford.”

“So, these were the four components of my upbringing -- the academic stuff where I was left to myself, Mahendrabhai, my father's passion for creating Reliance and the last piece was his deep links with the family.”

“Reliance will get listed on wall street because we want to benchmark ourselves with the top 100 companies of the world.”

“When we started work on setting up a polyester filament yarn project, my chemical engineering and business school background helped me in organizing the work, creating reporting structures, motivating people... in all this, my father and Rasikbhai were two steps ahead of me.”
