When Mukesh Ambani revealed he wanted to become a teacher

Once, Mukesh Ambani opened up about his successful journey in the business world and revealed some interesting details about the same. Speaking at the India Today Conclave 2017, Ambani revealed that he wanted to become a teacher before his father asked him to join Reliance Industries. However, after their marriage, Nita Ambani also encouraged him to take up teaching so they both could be involved in teaching for their personal satisfaction. In his words:

“Before my father (the late Dhirubhai Ambani) brought me into Reliance, I wanted to work for the World Bank for a while or teach at a university. With my wife (Nita) being a teacher, she is now telling me it’s high time I have taken up teaching. So going forward, both of us will be involved in education a lot more. It’s something we want to do more for our own personal satisfaction."

Mukesh Ambani on his relationship with money

However, during the interaction, when he was asked what money means to him, the country’s richest man revealed that it means nothing to him. Sharing an important life lesson from his father, late Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh said that one who runs behind money is a fool and added:

“Money means nothing to me really. My father used to always tell me that if you start anything just to make money, then, in his own words, ‘you are a fool’, because you will not be good at anything else and also not make money. Instead, if you start with a purpose... you want to do what nobody else has done, then money is the by-product but that by-product should never be important.”
