Hey I am on Medial • 7h

Dhirubhai Ambani is glorified as the ultimate rags-to-riches icon—but behind the legend is a man who didn’t just bend the rules, he bulldozed them. Yes, he rose from a gas station attendant to a business tycoon, but it wasn’t just hustle—it was a masterclass in manipulation. Dhirubhai bulldozed regulations, lobbied ruthlessly, and leveraged political cronyism to elbow past competitors. Licenses were won through influence, stock markets manipulated through convertible debentures, and regulators looked the other way. Dhirubhai knew exactly which palms to grease. Stock market scams, rigged prices, insider trading—none of it stuck, because his power was too big to challenge. He wasn’t building a business; he was building an empire on favors, fear, and absolute control. Call him visionary if you want—but don’t confuse ambition with ethics. Dhirubhai didn’t play the game—he rewrote it for himself. Don’t be fooled—he didn’t beat the system. He became the system.
