About Sh.

Dhirubhai Ambani

Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their countrys economic fortunes as did the founder of Reliance, Sh. Dhirubhai H Ambani. Fewer still have left behind a legacy that is more enduring and timeless. As with all great pioneers, there is more than one unique way of describing the true genius of Dhirubhai: the corporate visionary, the unmatched strategist, the proud patriot, the leader of men, the architect of Indias capital markets, the champion of shareholder interest. But the role Dhirubhai cherished most was perhaps that of Indias greatest wealth creator. In one lifetime, he built, starting from the proverbial scratch, Indias largest private sector enterprise. When Dhirubhai embarked on his first business venture, he had a seed capital of barely US$ 300 (around Rs 14,000). Over the next three and a half decades, he converted this fledgling enterprise into a Rs 60,000 crore colossusan achievement which earned Reliance a place on the global Fortune 500 list, the first ever Indian private company to do so. Dhirubhai is widely regarded as the father of Indias capital markets. In 1977, when Reliance Textile Industries Limited first went public, the Indian stock market was a place patronised by a small club of elite investors which dabbled in a handful of stocks. Undaunted, Dhirubhai managed to convince a large number of first-time retail investors to participate in the unfolding Reliance story and put their hard-earned money in the Reliance Textile IPO, promising them, in exchange for their trust, substantial return on their investments. It was to be the start of one of great stories of mutual respect and reciprocal gain in the Indian markets. Under Dhirubhais extraordinary vision and leadership, Reliance scripted one of the greatest growth stories in corporate history anywhere in the world, and went on to become Indias largest private sector enterprise. Through out this amazing journey, Dhirubhai always kept the interests of the ordinary shareholder uppermost in mind, in the process making millionaires out of many of the initial investors in the Reliance stock, and creating one of the worlds largest shareholder families.

The late Dhirubhai Ambani dreamt of a digital India an India where the common man would have access to affordable means of information and communication. Dhirubhai, who single-handedly built Indias largest private sector company virtually from scratch, had stated as early as 1999: Make the tools of information and communication available to people at an affordable cost. They will overcome the handicaps of illiteracy and lack of mobility. It was with this belief in mind that Reliance Communications (formerly Reliance Infocomm) started laying 60,000 route kilometres of a pan-India fibre optic backbone. This backbone was commissioned on 28 December 2002, the auspicious occasion of Dhirubhais 70th birthday, though sadly after his unexpected demise on 6 July 2002. Reliance Communications has a reliable, high-capacity, integrated (both wireless and wireline) and convergent (voice, data and video) digital network. It is capable of delivering a range of services spanning the entire infocomm (information and communication) value chain, including infrastructure and services for enterprises as well as individuals, applications, and consulting. Today, Reliance Communications is revolutionising the way India communicates and networks, truly bringing about a new way of life.

Think big. Think different. Think ahead. Dhirubhai preached and personally practised one mantra throughout his life: Dream with conviction. He built the Reliance empire from scratch and, in a short span of 25 years, it catapulted to become one of the top Fortune 500 corporations of the world an achievement unparalleled in history. He was deeply rooted in traditional Indian values, and at the same time, Dhirubhai possessed a very modern outlook - truly that of a 21st century person. His corporate philosophy was short, simple and incredibly effective: Think big. Think different. Think fast. Think ahead. Aim for the best. This was 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 infocom could energise enterprises, drive governance, and render learning an interesting experience, apart from making life exciting. Keeping his conviction as our credo, Reliance Communications is committed to transform Dhirubhais dream into a reality.

Our constant endeavour is to provide an enhanced customer experience and achieve customer satisfaction by upscaling the productivity of the enterprises and individuals we serve. Reliance Mobile (formerly Reliance India Mobile), launched on 28 December 2002, coinciding with the joyous occasion of the late Dhirubhai Ambanis 70th birthday, was among the initial initiatives of Reliance Communications. It marked the auspicious beginning of Dhirubhais dream of ushering in a digital revolution in India. Today, we can proudly claim that we were instrumental in harnessing the true power of information and communication, by bestowing it in the hands of the common man at affordable rates. We endeavour to further extend our efforts beyond the traditional value chain by developing and deploying complete telecom solutions for the entire spectrum of society.

Wireless Reliance Mobile

With over 150 million subscribers across India, Reliance Mobile is Indias largest mobile service brand. Reliance Mobile services now cover over 24,000 towns, 6 lakh villages, and still counting. We have achieved many milestones in this short journey. In 2003, AC Nielsen voted Reliance Mobile (formerly Reliance India Mobile) as Indias Most Trusted Telecom Brand. In July 2003, it created a world record by adding one million subscribers in a matter of just 10 days

through its Monsoon Hungama offer. What sets Reliance Mobile apart is the fact that nearly 90 per cent of our handsets are data-enabled, and can access hundreds of Java applications on Reliance Mobile World. Reliance Mobile has ushered in a mobile revolution by offering advanced multimedia handsets to the common man at very affordable rates. This innovative low pricing has increased the number of mobile phone users and its result is clearly reflected in the meteoric rise in Indias tele-density over the past four years. Our pan-India wireless network runs on CDMA2000 1x technology, which has superior voice and data capabilities compared to other cellular mobile technologies. CDMA2000 1x is more cost-effective as it utilises the scarce radio spectrum more efficiently than other technologies do. Enhanced voice clarity, superior data speed of up to 144 kbps and seamless migration to newer generations of mobile technologies are some of its key differentiators.

Corporate Governance
Organisations, like individuals, depend for their survival, sustenance and growth on the support and goodwill of the communities of which they are an integral part, and must pay back this generosity in every way they can... This ethical standpoint, derived from the vision of our founder, lies at the heart of the CSR philosophy of the Reliance Group. While we strongly believe that our primary obligation or duty as corporate entities is to our shareholders we are just as mindful of the fact that this imperative does not exist in isolation; it is part of a much larger compact which we have with our entire body of stakeholders: From employees, customers and vendors to business partners, eco-system, local communities, and society at large.

We evaluate and assess each critical business decision or choice from the point of view of diverse stakeholder interest, driven by the need to minimise risk and to pro-actively address long-term social, economic and environmental costs and concerns. For us, being socially responsible is not an occasional act of charity or that one-time token financial contribution to the local school, hospital or environmental NGO. It is an ongoing yearround commitment, which is integrated into the very core of our business objectives and strategy.

Code of Conduct
Reliance Group continually reviews corporate governance best practices to ensure that they reflect global developments. It takes feedback into account, in its periodic reviews of the guidelines to ensure their continuing relevance, effectiveness and responsiveness to the needs of local and international investors and other stakeholders. Our code of conduct and business policies encompass the following areas: Values and commitments Code of ethics Business policies Ethics management Prevention of sexual harassment Policy on insider trading To read the complete Code of Conduct, click here. Whilstle blower policy : This policy is formulated to provide mechanism to employees
to approach the Audit Committee of the Company and disclose unethical and improper practices or any other alleged wrongful conduct in the Company and to prohibit managerial personnel from taking any adverse personnel action against those employees.
