Reliance Industries Ltd chairman Mukesh Ambani said that he is devoting a significant amount of his time to expand the pool of capable leaders within the conglomerate, even as his three children have stepped up to take on greater responsibilities.
“Akash, Isha, and Anant have just completed one year as board members. They have stepped up to take on greater responsibilities, as first among equals in Reliance’s next-generation leadership,” chairman Ambani said at the company’s 47th annual general meeting in Mumbai on August 29.
Ambani’s speech showcased how the conglomerate has ambitions of becoming a deep-tech and advanced manufacturing company with the aim to align and propel the country’s goal to be ‘Viksit Bharat’.
“In addition to them (his children), we are mentoring a large team of dynamic and exceptionally competent young leaders who are eager to assume bigger roles at Reliance. We continue to grow our professional talent pool from around the world, aligning with our vision of making Reliance a global corporation,” he said.
He said that building this pool of leaders is a key priority for the company.
“As Reliance takes on new and greater challenges, we will need an ever-expanding pool of capable leaders – leaders who are fully committed to the purpose, philosophy, passion, and pioneering spirit of our founding chairman. I am personally devoting the largest part of my time to this task, along with our esteemed board members and senior colleagues. I am pleased to report that we have made tremendous progress in these efforts,” he said.
The RIL chairman also spoke about Reliance Industries being a ‘national institution.’ He said, “I firmly believe that my family and I, and also other senior members of the management team, are simply trustees of this great institution. Personal or family wealth holds no importance for me. What truly matters is our responsibility to pass on this precious institution to the next generation on a solid foundation.”
