Ambani hints at accelerating leadership transition process at RIL

Richest Indian Mukesh Ambani on Tuesday mentioned about leadership transition at his energy-to-retail conglomerate, saying that he wanted the process to be accelerated with seniors, including him, yielding to the younger generation. Mr Ambani, 64, who has previously not spoken about succession plans at the country’s most valuable company, said Reliance is “now in the process of effecting a momentous leadership transition”. 


Ambani has three children – twins Akash and Isha and Anant. 


Speaking at the Reliance Family Day, which marks the birth anniversary of the group’s founder Dhirubhai Ambani, he said that Reliance Industries (RIL) would become one of the strongest and most reputed Indian multinational companies in the world in the coming years, propelled by forays into the clean and green energy sector as well as retail and telecom business reaching unprecedented heights. 


“Achieving big dreams and impossible-looking goals is all about getting the right people and the right leadership. Reliance is now in the process of effecting a momentous leadership transition... from seniors belonging to my generation to the next generation of young leaders,” he said. 


Ambani said that an organisational culture must be built at Reliance that outlasts its leaders. “I have no doubt that Akash, Isha and Anant as the next-gen leaders will lead Reliance to even greater heights.”
