PEOPLE OFTEN ASK Mukesh Ambani, “How does Reliance keep doing so much?” His answer is elaborate, yet grounded in conviction. “We have a formula that is better than caffeine,” he says with a smile.
At the heart of that formula lies one powerful element. “Our own internal conviction that we can do it,” he explains. “We have leaders who handle refinery shutdowns, 5G rollouts, and [groom] teenage kids, all in the same week,” Ambani told the families of Reliance employees during the Diwali celebration at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. “We don’t say impossible. We just say, give me two weeks and I will make it possible.”
