“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.”

We can’t change our rulers, but we can least teach them how to rule us.

We must always go for the best. Do not compromise on quality. Reject if it is not the best – not only the best in India, but globally.

A motivated manpower is the most important thing.

Meeting the deadlines is not good enough, beating the deadlines is my expectation.

True entrepreneurship comes only from risk-taking.

My commitment is to produce at the cheapest price and the best quality.

You do not require an invitation to make profits.

There is no difference between our methods and those of anybody else-the only difference is that our motivation and dedication he is much greater.

I sincerely believe that Indians have the ability to compete with the best in the world.

Does making money excite me? No, but I have to make money for my shareholders. What excites me is achievement, doing something difficult.

Never. Till my last breath I will work. To retire there is only one place- the cremation ground.

My advice to young entrepreneurs is not to accept defeat in the face of odds, and challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction.

Secret of my success was to have ambition and know minds of men.

You have to take the calculated risk, to earn something.

Challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction. I believe that ambition and initiative will ultimately triumph.

I dream of India becoming a great economic superpower.

Let us recollect that peace or war will not always be left to our option; that however moderate or unambitious we may be, we cannot count upon the moderation, or hope to extinguish the ambition of others.

A dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people, than under the forbidding appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of Government.

Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.

Under ‘Reasons for Leaving Last Job’, never give the real reason, unless it’s money or ambition.

It is easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. Since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition.

If I fail it is only because I have too much pride and ambition.

To young girls and women everywhere: dream with ambition and know that there are no limits to what you can be.

My ambition is handicapped by laziness.
