“Maine humesha bade sapne dekhe. At 19, I came to Bombay wanting to create a place for myself in the city. I’d read in newspapers about big businessmen buying different companies and would think, ‘This’ll be me one day!’
So when I met one of those businessmen- Dhirubhai, I made sure to learn all I could from him. He had such a big heart; from helping me out with a loan to picking up a bill, he never thought twice. And I knew, ‘This is the kind of businessman I want to be!’”
There’s no other way to introduce this next guest of ours other than saying, “The man who made it!” Born in Patna, Mr. Anil Agarwal, shot for stars and brought them home.
From landing in Bombay with nothing save for a tiffin box, a blanket and big dreams, to creating his empire, not just in India, but across the world, Mr. Anil Agarwal’s journey is a tale of never giving up.
Get ready for a candid and captivating conversation where he'll share the secrets of his success, the hurdles he overcame, and the wisdom he gained. Don't miss this chance to be inspired by a true entrepreneur who made it happen against all odds!

Amazing interview and thanks for interviewing Mr. Anil Agarwal. Millions of Indians will get inspiration from his life. Big thinking leads to smart action and hard work and patience plays a big role. Sitaraon se aage jahan aur bhi hain, abhi ishq ke imtahaan aur bhi hain. India is going to be most developed nation in the next 25 years god willing. Its 1.43 billion are its biggest strength. Politicians should be firm to say that govt has no business to be in business. Regards

Fortune has favoured the brave : Anil Agarwal

@sn713 9 ай бұрын

The concept of Dharma .... (Excerpt from message of Shri Datta Swami) Word Dharma means characteristic property which stands for identification of an item. Dharma of fire is burning by which it is identified as fire. It is expected natural behavior of an item in creation. If fire is cool, such coolness is Adharma which means that it is not the expected property of specific entity. Human being in this creation is a specified entity & is expected to show certain characteristic properties (Dharmas) by which he is identified as human being. If human being shows characteristic properties of other specified items, it loses its identification. When God created various items in this world, He has assigned certain characteristic properties to be associated with corresponding items. So, possession of Dharma is will of God. Balance of creation is maintained when specified items exhibit their specified properties assigned by God. All inert items like fire, water etc. are strictly following will of God. God created this universe for entertainment. Entertainment is disturbed if natural balance is upset. God has given freedom to human beings, which is inherent desire of souls. God has full freedom to change any characteristic property of any specified item. When He wished, fire could not burn, air could not move & water could not quench even a dry grass blade. Since He is omnipotent, He has unlimited freedom. But souls have very little potentiality. Their freedom is naturally conditional & limited. Living being has little freedom within its specified boundary of its potentiality. If freedom is not given, it is not a living being. Among living beings, human being has full potentiality due to analytical faculty (Buddhi) & thus relatively more freedom is granted to it. Human being should understand limits of its capability & should freely behave within that specified boundary. Such behavior is Dharma which is expected by God. If limits are violated &behavior of some other category like animals is shown, soul is pushed into life cycle of animals. KZfaq Channel: Shri Datta Swami

These Marwaris and Gujaratis are crony capitalists. Anil Agarwala used to buy and sell scrap iron in Patna railway stations, then Lallu Yadav gave him a few coal mines and iron ore mines in the wild days of early 1990s. Ambani got the similar favors from some ministers of Rajiv Gandhi, who allowed him to have oil refinery, which was only in the public sector, but for Ambani that law was changed. Thus, bribes can change everything. That is the lesson. How that can be any inspiration for anyone. Modi gave away Rs 50,000 Crores to Ambani who had no experience in building aircrafts, and Rafale aircrafts were purchased as France was prepared to accept that arrangement. These are cronyism.

@72087hj 10 ай бұрын

Total bullshit, you think you know more than Anil Agarwal? Dhirubhai is undisputed king of modern Indian corporate world. People like you can only comment, but someone who is first generation businessmen, total outsider, in license raj era, he had to speak the language system understands. What he has achieved and delivered goes beyond his own lifetime, its due to him, his vision that today you are commenting from your mobile with dirt cheap internet.

The businessman who set up HAL had zero experience in building airplanes. Tatas had no aviation experience when they started Indian Airlines. Reliance had no experience in refining oil when they set up the world's largest refinery. Wipro used to sell match boxes and soap before venturing into Software services. For people like us to have a 9-5 job, someone has to take leadership and create jobs. Cronyism is as old as mankind. If you have the grit and courage like Dhirubhai you can also become an entrepreneur. It is much easier today than it was during Dhirubhai's times. Stop hating and do what you are best at.

Lol.. typical communist style rant against business community without evidences.. And you are factually wrong..on many counts. For example Ambani was choosen by Rafale and Ambani is not going to make it.. Rafale will make it ...Ambani is just a partner, who will provide land and that's how Indian companies will learn. That's how it goes.😂😂😂
