Leadership Style 
 Out with Feudal System 
He realized that the feudal system in place 
was outdated and needed to be replaced by a 
revolutionary system. There was no substance in 
keeping the power in a few people's hands and 
so the authority was spread over a network of 
people who were given specific responsibilities. 
Not for him any coalition with second rate 
companies. He bonded with the best. Dupont's 
alliance was sought for $ 5 million. Young 
people were assigned to be trained by Dupont. 
This was something new to Indian business and 
industry. 
“Today I see a billion people as a 
billion potential consumers, an 
opportunity to generate value 
for them and to make a return 
for myself.”
 Not Let-up 
His father and Rasikbhai Meswani, his cousin, two guiding spirits behind 
Reliance died in quick succession. Mukesh was devastated but did not panic. 
He quickly found his strength to get back in articulation. The organization was 
intact after all. Work went on almost without any interruption. 
 Aim High 
It was always a goal for him to beat Taiwan and Korea at polyester 
business. They were the dominant player in the business then. Soon he 
concluded that the scale of business has to be huge to achieve the goal. In spite 
of the license-quota raj and it strangling ways, Reliance polyester had built a 
capacity of 75,000 tonnes. Then came deregulation. The company leapfrogged 
into producing 1 million tonnes. The fast falling tariff rates helped too. The 
executives, numbering some 300 were top class and saw it that the company 
grew steadily. This growth, the vision of Mukesh, set a world record.
 Learn from Guru 
Mukesh knew from experience that the U.S. is an open country where 
it is not difficult to run a businesss and could get information in the 
qucikest possible time. He made it to the US Association of Chemical 
Engineers and get all the information. The staff learnt many things from 
DuPont. Mukesh is all praises for KK Malhotra, who was an import from a 
public sector company and whom Mukesh considers his Guru. 
 Expansion 
Mukesh could see far into the future and pinpoint the businesses that 
would change the face of his company profile. Petrochemicals plastics, 
polyester were all in their net, all having a future. Expansion was not 
confined to India alone. It included the whole world. This huge plan for 
expansion coupled with huge cash flow enabled the company become what 
it is: a global giant by any standards.
Strategic Management 
• Always thinks ‘out of the box’. 
• Doing things in a different way. 
• Empower ordinary people to extra to extra 
ordinary things. 
• Investment in excellence is investment in the 
future. 
• Self belief and opportunity analysis is 
essential for an entrepreneur.
