Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group came into existence when the
business empire of the Reliance Group founded by Dhirubhai Ambani was
split between his two sons, Mukesh and Anil. Mukesh Ambani, the elder
brother, retained Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), the flagship
company of the Reliance Group. The part of the empire that was inherited
by the younger brother Anil Ambani was christened as Reliance Anil
Dhirubhai Ambani Group. Hence, one can say that the founder of Reliance
ADAG was Dhrubhai Ambani. The interests of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai
Ambani span communications, financial services, generation, transmission
and distribution of power, infrastructure and entertainment.
