In 1958, Dhirubhai Ambani returned to India with just Rs 500, which he used to start Reliance Industries. Born in Gujarat, Dhirubhai had to leave school and sell pakodas due to financial issues. He later worked as a gas station attendant in Yemen for eight years. With his savings, he teamed up with his relative Champaklal Damani to start a textile trading company called ‘Margin,’ marking the beginning of what would become a major conglomerate.
