PAST HABITS

Dhirajlal Hirachand Ambani

Born on December 28, 1932 in Chorwad,Gujarat.

Business sense came early as he sold‘Bhajjias’ to pilgrims on Mount Girnar during his childhood.

Went to Yemen to join his elder brother , worked at a gas station. Later promoted to as a distributor of Shell products.

Came to India, started the business of exporting spices.

Founded Reliance Commercial Corp. with cousin Champaklal Damani with initial capital of 15,000rs

An Opportunist

During 1950s-

In the 1950s, the Yemini administration realized that their main unit of currency, the Rial, was disappearing fast.

It was found that a young man in his twenties was placing unlimited buy orders for Yemini Rials.

Rials, pure silver coins and was in much demand at the London Bullion Exchange. Young Dhirubhai bought the Rials, melted them into pure silver and sold it to the bullion trader sin London.

Entrepreneurships true sense lies in the fact that he alwaysl looks upon opportunity

A Visionary

Government of India introduced High Unit Value Scheme; hence Dhirubhai shifted his interests from spices to nylon fabrics.

When most Indian business houses depended on government owned financial institutions for funds, Dhirubhai raised capital from the public by offering shares of his companies.

‘’It does not require an invitation to make profits’’.

--By Dhirubhai Ambani

The Innovator

Dhirubhai Ambani is credited with starting the equity cult in India.

Dhirubhai identified a new market for his brand‘Vimal’-the non-metro urban segment.

Backward Integration: To strengthen his position in the textile sector, Dhirubhai integrated backwards and produced fibers

The Solution Seeker :

Dhirubhai faced resistance from cloth merchants ;so he decided to open his own showroom named ‘’vimal’’The polyester prince announced the buy back scheme when the polyester which he produced started loosing its demand

Whenever a task seemed too big, to be accomplished, he would reply:

"No is no answer!“"It's difficult but not impossible!"

The Network Strategist

Using his connections in Aden, he exported a wide range of commodities to Aden.

To Promote VIMAL’S:

Advertising program was launched , toured the entire country intensively offering franchises to shareholders.

Dhirubhai managed to create favorable centers in all the important areas among the bureaucrats, the ruling politicians, as well as the media.

These were the areas where power vested.Dhirubhai Believed That “Business Is Nothing But A Web Of Relationships And Obligations."

The People's Man

Dhirubhai followed an ‘’open-door policy’’.Employees could walk into his cabin and discuss their problems with him.

He was always inviting people into sharing their thoughts and ideas, rather than shutting them out.

Always there for his team and brought around confidence in them. ‘Arm-around-the-shoulder’ - leader

This tendency that he had, to draw people towards him, manifested itself in countless ways.People s View that did much more than word sin letting people know that they belonged, that they had his trust, and that they had him on their side!

The Helper

When things went wrong, he was the first person to sense that the circumstances would have been beyond his team's control, rather than it being a slip on their part.

His first instinct was always to join his men in putting out the fire and not crucifying them for it.

Dhirubhaism :

Never followed the textbook style of management , evolved a Unique style:

The American Style of entrepreneurship

With the Japanese Focus on Technology

And innate shrewdness of a Gujju businessman

A Perfect manager of Time , Money ,Men and Passion to find solution to problems.

Believed that business was not all about Ethics & Morality ,it was all about Expansion & Success

DHIRUBHAI AMBANI’S IMPACT ON RELIANCES MANAGERIAL PRACTICES AND THEIR POSITIVE IMPACT ON BUSINESS

Dhirubhai Ambani was a transformational leader.

Through His innovative idea of converting the debentures of the company into equity shares , Reliance was able to convert its liabilities into assets by this masterstroke and the share prices of the company went up and all the investors could make through this process.

Though, the Government of the day was against this equity cult (Badla system) starter by Dhirubhai per say, but, over a period of time based on precedence in foreign companies, the statute book itself was modified to be in line with this innovative idea.

Consequently, the volumes of business in Reliance increased very fast along with quick multiplication of its share capital.
