Although Mukesh Ambani could easily buy an app similar to Dream11 for fantasy gaming, their relationship dates back to his early years.

Though he has other friends as well, Mukesh Ambani counts Manoj Modi as one of his closest friends.

During their time at Mumbai's Hill Grange High School, Mukesh Ambani made the acquaintance of Anand Jain, one of his childhood friends.

When Mukesh Ambani returned from study abroad in 1981, Anand Jain was already working with Dhirubhai Ambani at Reliance.

As of right now, Anand Jain serves as chairman of Jai Corp, a business that was founded in 1985 and operates in industries including steel production, real estate, and yarn spinning.

When Mukesh Ambani entered the real estate and capital markets, he consulted Anand Jain for advice.

Along with Akash Ambani, Anand Jain is a crucial advisor to Reliance Industries, managing the day-to-day operations of Reliance Infocom.

As co-founders of Dream11 alongside Bhavit Seth, Anand Jain's son Harsh Jain indirectly linked Mukesh Ambani to the business.
