Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani (born on 19 April 1957) is an Indian business magnate. He is the chairman and managing director of Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries, the largest private sector enterprise in India listed in Fortune 500 magazine. His personal stake in Reliance Industries is 48%. On the 17th of August 2011, Reliance Industries Ltd. lost its status as India's most valuable firm. RIL , for long the favourite of Indian investors, was knocked off its four-year perch as the country's most valuable company, as fears over slowing gas production dragged its stock down almost 30% in 2011 and led to the first full day of trade with state owned Coal India on top.

In 2010, he was named among the most powerful people in the world by Forbes in its list of "68 people who matter most" As of 2011, he is the second richest man in Asia and the ninth richest man in the world with a personal wealth of US$27 billion. In 2007, a strong rally in the Indian stock market and the appreciation of the Indian rupee boosted the market capitalisation of Reliance group companies, briefly making him the world’s richest man. According to Forbes Magazine forecasts, he is expected to regain the title of the richest man in the world in 2014.

He is a member of the board of directors of Bank of America Corporation and a present member of the international advisory board of the Council on Foreign Relations.

4.25 min. | 3.09 user rating		 The Maharashtra government Friday promised to protect Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan after he came under attack from the Shiv Sena for advocating the cause of Pakistani cricketers in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Minister of State for Home Ramesh Bagwe told reporters that the government was ready to provide Shah Rukh security if he desired it. The minister also vowed to give "full security" to all the players in the IPL matches. The Shiv Sena hit out at the actor, who is also the Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner, after he said that he would have picked a Pakistani player for IPL matches if his team had a slot. The IPL teams' failure to select even a single Pakistani cricketer has raised a storm in Pakistan. Attacking Shah Rukh for espousing the cause of Pakistani players, Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut said if the actor was so keen on them, "he could go play his matches in Lahore, not in India". "Pakistan has been blatantly indulging in terror activities and killing our innocent people. Sena is firm in not allowing Pakistani players on our soil," Raut told reporters. Taking the issue further, Thane Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde announced that no film of Shah Rukh would be screened in the district. "Since Shah Rukh Khan has hurt the sentiments of the people by his utterances, we have decided that his films will not be exhibited in any cinema or multiplex in the entire Thane district," said Shinde.
