He has attracted fame due to his growth and wealth, and criticism for being a plutocrat, and reports of market manipulation, political corruption, cronyism, and exploitation. Born in 1957 to Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder of Reliance Industries, and Kokilaben in Aden, Mukesh Ambani completed his studies at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai and Institute of Chemical Technology. He dropped out of Stanford University in 1980 to join Reliance Industries. He expanded the energy ventures of the company, and directed the set up of its largest petroleum refinery at Jamnagar. He took an increasing role in the company after his father developed health issues in the late 1980s. After the death of his father in 2002, the ownership of the companies in the group was divided between him and his younger brother Anil Ambani. Later, he expanded the portfolio of the group and launched or acquired several ventures in energy, finance, healthcare, media, telecommunications, and sports.
