Some interesting info

Some interesting information related to the corporate king of India, Dhirubhai Ambani are given below:
The first loan
Three decades ago the financial institution ICICI gave Dhirubhai the first loan for Reliance Industries Ltd. The ICICI officials had never thought that Dhirubhai would be at their office within one year to demand second instalment of the sanctioned loan.
The managerial director of ICICI was then a lower rank official of the institution. He had looked at Dhirubhai and some sixth sense told him that Gujarati loan seeker was no ordinary business man. His sixth sense proved right when Dhirubhai appeared to ask for the second instalment within one year.
Country’s largest industrial group
Late Dhirubhai Ambani’s Reliance group has set several industrial records in the country and abroad. The fast industrial growth and expansion earned him several national and international awards. Reliance Industries was India’s first private sector industrial house that made it to the ‘Fortune 2000’, global list of 500 largest Industrial Houses. It was amongst the 200 most profit earning companies. Reliance group made it to the 400-Best and largest companies of Forbes global list. And ‘Financial Times’ also included Reliance in its 500-global list of top business houses.

Problem solved—Amitabh Bachchan

Sharp business mind of Dhirubhai had made great impression on Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan too. Finding solutions to problems had become second habit of Dhirubhai. Tell him a problem and his mind would race to find answers just like you throw a ball and your dog runs after it to bring it back to you. Only difference here was that the mind dog of Dhirubhai would come back with answers to the problems. Challenges of the business world had trained his mind in that way. Amitabh was facing a problem. He met Dhirubhai and related the problem to him. Dhirubhai laughed. He analysed the problem and revealed the solution to the superstar in a simple matter of fact manner. The solution worked out by Dhirubhai amazed him. It was so simple. Amitabh Bachchan wondered—”Why didn’t I think of it myself?”
