EARLY LIFE OF MUKESH AMBANI

Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani was born on
19 April 1957 in the British Crown colony
of Aden (present-day Yemen) into a
Gujarati Hindu family to Dhirubhai
Ambani and Kokilaben Ambani. He has a
younger brother Anil Ambani and two
sisters, Nina Bhadrashyam Kothari and
Dipti Dattaraj Salgaonkar.[citation

 Ambani lived only briefly in Yemen

because his father decided to move
back to India in 1958[13] to start a
trading business that focused on
spices and textiles. The latter was
originally named "Vimal" but later
changed to "Only Vimal".[14][15] His
family lived in a modest two-
 bedroom apartment in Bhuleshwar,
Mumbai until the 1970s.[16] The
family's financial status slightly
improved when they moved to India
but Ambani still lived in a communal
society, used public transportation,
and never received an allowance.[17]
Dhirubhai later purchased a 14-floor
apartment block called 'Sea Wind' in
Colaba, where, until recently, Ambani
and his brother lived with their
families on different floors.
