Rags-to-riches stories rarely translate to reality from reel; nevertheless, when they do they transform countless lives and inspire heartwarming stories defeating the whims of destiny. These stories are never lost in the foggy ruins of time. Dhirajlal Hirachand Ambani’s transition to Dhirubhai Ambani is one such story, which touched several lives and mine was one of them. No wonder, I became the architect of my fortune. Born in a nondescript town (Jam Khambalia) of Gujarat on February 1, I was no exception. However, what differentiated me from my peers was an urge to be an entrepreneur- on the lines of Dhirubhai; who would later mentor me. My other love was Cricket. Nevertheless, it was serving people, which became my priority in the years that followed and everything else took a backseat-by default. Unbelievable; yet true.
