He wanted to quit school so he could help his father build his business. His father Dhirajlal Hirachand Ambani founded the petrochemical company Reliance Industries in 1966 . This was a very small company at the time, but it continued to grow.
When Mukesh Ambani joined the company in 1981 , the company had already expanded into refining and petrochemicals. This also resulted in business relationships with retailers and with products and services in telecommunications.
