Does making money excite me? No, but I have to make money for my shareholders. What excites me is achievement, doing something difficult.
Our dreams have to be bigger. Our ambitions higher. Our commitment deeper. And our efforts greater. This is my dream for Reliance and for India.
We must always go for the best. Do not compromise on quality. Reject if it is not the best - not only the best in India, but globally.

The success of the young entrepreneur will be the key to India's transformation in the new millennium.

Growth has no limit at Reliance. I keep revising my vision. Only when you dream it you can do it.
I dream of India becoming a great economic superpower.
I am not a believer in religious rituals. I was brought up in the Arya Samaj environment which taught us to shun rituals. Puja, of course, but simple, elegant and brief.
I had dreams of starting a company like Burmah Shell.
I, as school kid, was a member of the Civil Guard, something like today's NCC. We had to salute our officers who went round in jeeps. So I thought one day I will also ride in a jeep and somebody else will salute me.
Dhirubhai will go one day. But Reliance's employees and shareholders will keep it afloat. Reliance is now a concept in which the Ambanis have become irrelevant.
