Family, Early Life and Education
Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani was born to Dhirubhai Ambani & Kokilaben Ambani, on 19 April 1957, in Yemen. Dhirubhai Ambani, who began his career as a gas station attendant, had four children. He grew up with his two sisters Nina Bhadrashyam Kothari & Dipti Dattaraj Salgaonkar, and brother Anil Ambani.
Because of the growing volatile political situation in Aden, the family moved to the Bhuleshwar neighbourhood of Bombay in 1958, wherein they resided in a chawl or communal two-room apartments with low rent.
