------------------------------------
I am an Indian residing in India. I hail from Baroda in the state of Gujarat. I am follower of the philosophy “Work is Worship”. If I am given the opportunity to suggest as to whose statue must be built in Baroda, I would say Late Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani; founder of Reliance group of industries the most renowned entrepreneur world over.
As a great entrepreneur, he created an empire. He was born in a country side village and his father was a School Teacher with a meager income. Mr. Dhirubhai after having passed his tenth grade went to Aden where he was hired as a petrol pump attendant. One fine day he got an idea of building up his own Oil Refinery. Although it sounds quixotic and a crazy idea for a petrol pump attendant to want to build a refinery of his own; nevertheless he could build the biggest single grass root Oil Refinery of the world in Jamnagar, Gujarat, India. This is well known worldwide as Reliance's 25-Million Metric Ton Oil Refinery that went on stream in 1999. This achievement is purely due to the persistent hard work of Late Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani. Reliance is the first Indian company to feature in Forbes 500 list
Dhirubhai Ambani was a great visionary and the most enterprising Indian entrepreneur. His life journey is reminiscent of the rags to riches story. He is remembered as the one who rewrote the Indian corporate history and built a truly global corporate group. Dhirubhai Ambani died on July 6, 2002, at Mumbai.
In conclusion, his statue shall be a great source of motivation to population by large and especially younger generation in their journey to success and building a powerful nation.
