Company Profile
The Reliance Group
Reliance – Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, an offshoot of the Reliance Group founded by Shri Dhirubhai H Ambani (1932-2002), ranks among India’s top three private sector business houses in terms of net worth. The group has business interests that range from telecommunications (Reliance Communications Limited) to financial services (Reliance Capital Ltd) and the generation and distribution of power (Reliance Infrastructure Limited).
Reliance – ADA Group’s flagship company, Reliance Communications, is India's largest private sector information and communications company, with over 77 million subscribers. It has been listed on the National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange. It has established a pan-India, high-capacity, integrated (wireless and wireline), convergent (voice, data and video) digital network, to offer services spanning the entire infocomm value chain.
Other major group companies — Reliance Capital and Reliance Infrastructure — are widely acknowledged as the market leaders in their respective areas of operation.
The Late Dhirubhai Ambani dreamt of a digital India - an India where the common man would have access to affordable means of information and communication. Dhirubhai, who single-handedly built India’s largest private sector company virtually from scratch, had stated as early as 1999: “Make the tools of information and communication available to people at an affordable cost. They will overcome the handicaps of illiteracy and lack of mobility.”
It was one of Dhirubhai’s great dreams in life to see ordinary Indians enjoy the enormous
economic benefits of being able to access affordable yet world class telecommunications
infrastructure. He wanted Reliance to spearhead a communications revolution that would
dramatically cut down the cost of connectivity, and propel India into the digital age. His ultimate
ambition: To make the cost of a phone call cheaper than that of a post card. It was therefore
entirely logical for Reliance to enter the telecommunications space when the sector was opened
up for private participation in the 1990s.The rest, as they say, is history.
Today, Reliance Communications is India’s largest information and communications services
provider offering the full range of integrated telecom services—at prices that are, by far, the lowest anywhere in the world.
It was with this belief in mind that Reliance Communications (formerly Reliance Infocomm) started laying 60,000 route kilometres of a pan-India fibre optic backbone. This backbone was commissioned on 28 December 2002, the auspicious occasion of Dhirubhai’s 70th birthday, though sadly after his unexpected demise on 6 July 2002.
Our business encompasses a complete range of telecom services covering mobile and fixed line telephony. It includes broadband, national and international long distance services and data services along with an exhaustive range of value-added services and applications. Our constant endeavour is to achieve customer delight by enhancing the productivity of the enterprises and individuals we serve.
Reliance Mobile (formerly Reliance India Mobile), launched on 28 December 2002, coinciding with the joyous occasion of the late Dhirubhai Ambani’s 70th birthday, was among the initial initiatives of Reliance Communications. It marked the auspicious beginning of Dhirubhai’s dream of ushering in a digital revolution in India. Today, we can proudly claim that we were instrumental in harnessing the true power of information and communication, by bestowing it in the hands of the common man at affordable rates.
Reliance Communications has a reliable, high-capacity, integrated (both wireless and wireline) and convergent (voice, data and video) digital network. It is capable of delivering a range of services spanning the entire infocomm (information and communication) value chain, including infrastructure and services - for enterprises as well as individuals, applications, and consulting.
Today, Reliance Communications is revolutionizing the way India communicates and networks, truly bringing about a new way of life.
