He is the chairperson Reliance Industries which is the most valuable company in India with a market cap of Rs 1983000 crore. Mukesh Ambani has been among the top players in the business world for quite a while now and to reach such heights, the billionaire was backed by his family and close friends including Nita Ambani, Isha Ambani, Akash Ambani, Anant Ambani, and others. One of the few close associates who stood by Mukesh Ambani through thick and thin is Anand Jain. Although people know Anil Ambani as Mukesh Ambani’s brother, Anand Jain is also  regarded as Mukesh Ambani’s second brother. The two have a decades old friendship that started during the school days. 

Mukesh Ambani and Anand Jain studied together at Mumbai's Hill Grange High School and when Mukesh Ambani returned from Stanford University in 1918, Anand Jain left his businesses in Delhi to join Reliance Industries. Anand Jain has worked closely with Mukesh Ambani’s late father Dhirubhai Ambani too.
