Dhirubhai preached — and personally practiced — one mantra throughout his life: Dream with conviction.
He built the Reliance empire from scratch and, in a short span of 25 years, catapulted it to become on of the top Fortune 500 corporations of the world — an achievement unparalleled in history.
He was deeply rooted in traditional Indian values, yet Dhirubhai possessed the outlook of a modern man — truly a person of the 21st century. His corporate philosophy was short, simple and incredibly effective: “Think big. Think different. Think fast. Think ahead. Aim for the best.” This clearly reflected in his passion for mega-sized projects, as well as his fascination for cutting–edge technology and desire to always achieve the highest possible productivity. At Reliance, Dhirubhai was a pillar of inspiration for one and all. By practicing what he preached, he inspired and encouraged everyone to surpass the best in the world.
Dhirubhai fully realised that true empowerment of the people is possible only through education. Being an effective communicator, he continued to inspire, guide, educate and motivate everyone through his communications. He was a firm believer in the power of information and communication, and how it can be utilised and turned to the advantage of one and all, by making time and distance irrelevant.
He would always say that if a telephone call could be made cheaper than a postcard, it would transform every home, empower every Indian, remove every obstacle to opportunity and growth, and tear apart every barrier that divides Indian society. He was convinced that infocomm could energise enterprises, drive governance, and render learning an interesting experience, apart from making life exciting.
True to his conviction, Reliance Communications is committed to transform Dhirubhai’s dream into a reality.
