From beginning Dhirubhai was seen in high-regard. His success in the petro-chemical business and his story of rags to riches made him a cult figure in the minds of Indian people. As a quality of business leader he was also a motivator. He gave few public speeches but the words he spoke are still remembered for their value.
* "I am deaf to the word "no"." * "Growth has no limit at Reliance. I keep revising my vision. Only when you dream it you can do it." * "Think big, think fast, think ahead. Ideas are no one's monopoly" * "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." * "If you work with determination and with perfection, success will follow." * "Pursue your goals even in the face of difficulties, and convert adversities into opportunities." * "Give the youth a proper environment. Motivate them. Extend them the support they need. Each one of them has infinite source of energy. They will deliver." * "Between my past, the present and the future, there is one common factor: Relationship and Trust. This is the foundation of our growth" * "We bet on people." * "Meeting the deadlines is not good enough, beating the deadlines is my expectation." * "Don't give up, courage is my conviction." * "We cannot change our Rulers, but we can change the way they Rule Us." * "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."
And finally the ultimate... "You do not require an invitation to make profits."
