A graceful persona with an industrial mind, Nita Ambani has time and again surprised the world and earned admiration from people she knows and those she doesn’t for her generous deeds. Nita Ambani has been tirelessly working as a part of Dhirubhai Ambani Foundation and her efforts have all paid off in the form of many institutions and groups that she has stood for. Be it earning a place for the physically challenged in call centers, running schools for the needy and deprived classes or upgrading overall education standards for children, Nita Ambani is one woman who believes in doing the right thing and never shies away from taking a stand wherever and whenever necessary.

Nita Ambani plays the role of the Chairperson to Dhirubhai Ambani International School (DAIS). DAIS which was built in 2003 by Reliance Group is located in Mumbai. The school has been crowned as the best in whole of Mumbai by both critics and general public alike. DAIS owes the credit of being regarded so, to its dynamic Chairperson Nita Ambani, who went the extra step to recruit world-class teachers from around the globe. DAIS also holds the credit of being one of the 37 schools in India which offer the prestigious International Baccalaureate Program to its students which renders them an opportunity to get placed in top class universities including Oxford, Cambridge and Princeton. Recently Nita Ambani opened the gates of DAIS for slum kids to use the school facilities. The program is called Akanksha-DAIS. The force that drives Nita Ambani to devote her efforts to the cause of upgrading educational standards in the country is the quest to bring out the best and imbibe a sense of responsibility towards society and environment in students. In addition, students of DAIS are also encouraged to work with several NGOs including Aditya, Akanksha, Goonj and Ishara.

Nita Ambani has an acute business sense and with a heart of gold that beats for making others lives productive, she restlessly works to give a better meaning to people’s lives and to make it worth living. Nita Ambani spearheads the development of villages around Reliance projects and takes keen interest in the upliftment of the lives of the people residing there.

Another major development that is in the pipeline and part of Reliance’s responsible engagement with society is the Reliance University. Reliance Foundation is planning to come up with a world-class university. As told by Nita Ambani herself, Reliance University which she is all geared up to head will be built in either Delhi or Mumbai. Reliance is on the lookout for a suitable land for the proposed university.

The University will apparently promote education and research in the disciplines ranging from liberal arts to technology at undergraduate level and will gradually incorporate Post graduate and Doctoral courses. Reliance University will follow on the lines of American Universities and will tie-up with other foreign universities. It will be international in approach with the best practices but will possess an Indian soul.

Nita Ambani is all set to up to take up the new venture and turn it into another big success.

The Dutch Government’s Nodal Investment Agency says that they will support RIL’s for LyondellBasell if the deal goes through. The Netherlands, which is supporting Mukesh Ambani’s $12 billion plus bid for the Rotterdam based pet-chem giant, is the parent country of LyondellBasell.

Bass Pulles, Commissioner of the Dutch Foreign Investment Agency, which facilitates investments in an exclusive interview with ET Now’s Sumit Chaturvedi, in Hague, Netherlands said the government will support RIL’s bid for LyondellBasell. “Since RIL is a foreign company, and so is LyondellBasell, we do offer assistance in the process which surrounds the take over, for instance speeding up immigration procedures or giving a warm shoulder from the ministry”, he said.

Reliance Industries Limited submitted an all-cash non-binding bid to buy a controlling stake in LyondellBasell in 21st of November, 2009. The bid came after LyondellBasell, the third largest petrochemical company in the world, filed for bankruptcy in January, 2009. The deal, if consummated, would facilitate growth of Reliance’s core business. As LyondellBasell has large petrochemical capacities coupled with a good tech portfolio as well as joint ventures in the Middle East, it would help Reliance Industries grow and reach the Western markets.

In December, 2009 Reliance Industries stated that it had no intentions of buying any of the debt from LyondellBasell. The month of January, 2010 witnessed Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries stepping up its offer for the acquisition by offering $13.5 billion instead of the earlier $12 billion.

The Netherlands government support comes as a shot in the arm for Mr. Mukesh Ambani as he prepares to bid for the Rotterdam based LyondellBasell. When asked why the vote of confidence, Pulles said, “They might consider to reinvest again, they might send out positive message to other companies back home or they might inform us on any other strategic developments in their industry.”

The Netherlands is home to global brands like Philips, ING Bank and wants to attract more talent and capital from India. They already have big investments from over 120 odd companies in India such as Infosys and TCS. If Mukesh Ambani does tide over the resistance from some lenders of LyondellBasell, he can be rest assured about support from Dutch Authorities.

Reliance Industries Ltd., operator of the world’s largest refining complex, increased its share of sales in India to meet growing demand for fuels.

The Mumbai-based energy explorer and refiner sold 20.65 million metric tons of fuels in the South Asian nation in the nine months ended Dec. 31 compared with 8.01 million tons a year earlier, according to Bloomberg calculations based on export figures released by the company on 22nd Jan. The numbers were confirmed by a Reliance spokesman, who declined to be identified in line with company policy.

The company gave up the export-only status of its first refinery in April in light of the global recession after completing in December 2008 a 580,000 barrel-a-day refinery that caters to overseas customers. Domestic sales as a share of output rose to 47 percent in the nine months ended Dec. 31, compared with 33 percent a year earlier, according to data released by the company.

Customers include Indian Oil Corp., the largest state-run refiner, which started purchasing diesel and gasoline from Reliance in April. “Buying fuels from Reliance Group reduces our costs,” Gyan Chand Daga, marketing director at Indian Oil, said by telephone from Mumbai today. “Demand for fuels is growing and we need to meet that gap.”

In terms of fuel pricing, the government partly compensates state refiners for selling fuels below cost without extending the benefit to private refiners, including Reliance and Essar Oil Ltd. Despite this, the private companies like Reliance are offering competitive rates to local companies and refiners. This fact raises a question about the validity of the storms raised in the recent past with respect to the Reliance gas disputes about pricing that RIL has been needlessly dragged into and embroiled in.

In a ceremony at the Trident Hotel he was honoured with the Dean’s Medal by Eduardo Glandt, Dean of Penn Engineering. The University of Pennsylvania has conferred this award on Mukesh Ambani for his visionary leadership in the application of engineering and technology for the betterment of society and mankind.

In his speech Mr. Ambani announced the newest project of the Reliance Foundation – a university in India, to be headed by Mrs. Nita Ambani.

Mr. Mukesh Ambani has come a long way having started his corporate journey in 1981 when he joined his father, late Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani, the founding chairman of Reliance. He initiated Reliance’s vertical integration journey from textiles into polyester fibres and further into petrochemicals, petroleum refining and eventually oil and gas exploration and production. He then led the creation of 51 new, world-class manufacturing facilities encompassing diverse technologies that increased Reliance’s manufacturing capacities manifold.

The Jamnagar Refinery in Gujarat which is now the world’s largest grassroots petroleum refinery was the brainchild of Mukesh Ambani. Dhirubhai’s dream project Reliance Infocomm, which is now one of the largest telecommunications companies in India and has emerged as Reliance Communications Limited was also set up by Mukesh Ambani. He is currently steering Reliance’s development of a pan-India retail network, a transformational initiative connecting, rural and urban India.

In a recent study by the Harvard Business Review, Mukesh Ambani has been recognized as the fifth best CEO of the world in a review, which surveyed a total of 1,999 CEOs of large public traded companies across the globe.

He has also featured in the survey of ‘Top 50 Most Respected Business Leaders of the World’ conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2002 as well as 2004. At the global level Mukesh Ambani has been felicitated twice by the United States India Business Council. He is also the only Indian CEO to be invited thus far to become a Council Member of World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) in July 2007.

Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) spearheaded by Mukesh Ambani displayed concern and condemned the allegations made by a Telugu TV Channel in lieu of Y S Rajasekhara Reddy’s helicopter crash. Mukesh Ambani’s RIL made a statement today stating that the allegations are baseless, “false” and “malicious”.
Reliance Industries said in the statement, “We are shocked and outraged at the false, malicious, motivated and libelous news on TV-5 channel, concerning the fatal mishap of Reddy’s helicopter. We condemn, rebut and reject the allegation with the contempt it deserves.”

Reliance further stated that the accusations were the “dirty handiwork of our business rivals in cohoot with TV-5”. RIL also pointed towards the “well coordinated attacks on RIL’s personnel and establishments in Andhra Pradesh” that followed the telecast on TV-5.

Reliance Group’s counsel Harish Salve made this assertion before the three-member bench of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, in his counter-arguments in the reliance gas dispute with Reliance Natural Resources Ltd (RNRL) over gas supplies from the Krishna-Godavari basin.

“If I challenge the gas utilization policy and the court says ’sorry, you do not have the power’, the government will discover the power elsewhere,” Salve told the bench, which includes Justice B. Sudershan Reddy and Justice P. Sathasivam.

“The government is opening various sectors to private players. If we do not behave responsibly, we may earn profit for 15 days, but will eventually be out of business.”

“The only suitable agreement for supply of gas to the REL’s Dadri power plant is supply of gas under the gas utilization policy and at the price arrived at as per the formula approved by the empowered group of ministers,” he said.

This decision by the ministerial group is applicable to all the gas produced by Reliance, Salve said, adding this compelled his client to supply gas to specific customers, in defined quantities and at the notified price.

The government has also specified that a firm commitment on gas supplies can be made only for five years, based on the ministerial panel’s recommendations, he said.
