Anil Ambani doesn't know how to stop running - whether it's on a marathon or through a business challenge. Through Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power, Ambani is not just rebuilding his empire but positioning it to compete with India's corporate giants, despite persistent negative publicity aimed at bogging him down

A COMEBACK FUELLED BY GRIT, FAMILY, AND STRATEGIC VISION

His Reliance Group crumbled under massive debts, legal battles, and public scrutiny. Yet, like the long-distance marathon runner he is - having completed over 50 marathons in 15 years - Anil Ambani has refused to give up.
