This is embarrassing. This is one of the shadiest people in India, who is in part responsible for the currently ongoing largest protest in human history.

He funded the current PM from being a no name local politician all the way to prime minister ( an ascent which included brutal racial killings of Muslims in Gujarat).

And since his reaching PM status, Modi's government has allowed one shady businesses practice after another to be carried out by Ambani's many companies, ultimately culminating in the passing of the three farming ordinances which would give Ambani's companies significant freedom to fixing prices of crops. This model has already been tested by Modi and Ambani in Gujarat, where Ambani's companies now own the farmland while local farmers immigrate of out state to find labor jobs... So this is ultimately about land, and no one is India is more land hungry than Ambani.

It is appaling that on one hand, this type of unethical behavior has resulted in the largest protest in history, with hundreds of thousands of Indians uniting together and traveling to Delhi through police barricades, to demand that the government take back the farming ordinances, which Ambani is directly behind.

And on the other hand, here we are, calling this man a genius.

Talking out of our ass, are we? The Ambanis had already established their supremacy and had flourished under Congress rule too, BJP's rise and the corresponding co-dependence was a relatively recent phenomenon.

Regardless, it can't be denied that no one has brought such drastic changes in the country as M.Ambani. The entire country's mobile app and e-commerce market exists practically because of Jio's disruption in the telecom sector.

Go look at Reliance stock since the protests started. Their trick to kill competition is well known now.

Are you not aware that Indians have been boycotting Jio nationwide, even going as far as to destroy their towers in some states ?

What world are you living in, trying to use the company as an example of progress?

This sounds dubious, can you provide valid sources to back this up? He said he never wanted to get into agriculture
