Reliance Group

 Reliance Group


Reliance Commercial Corporation was set up in 1958 by Dhirubhai Ambani as a small venture firm trading commodities, especially spices and polyester yarn. Pursuing a strategy of backward integration and diversification, it opened its first textile mill in Naroda, Gujarat state, and was incorporated in 1966 as Reliance Textiles and Engineers, Ltd. Over the next decade its business focused on the textile industry even as it continued to expand.

Seeking to raise financial capital through means more accessible than India’s nationalized banks, Reliance took advantage of the recent “Indianization” of the stock market and floated an initial public offering (IPO) in 1977. The IPO, which issued 2.8 million shares, was credited with engaging small investors in the stock market and equity shareholding. Thousands attended the Reliance annual general meetings, which were sometimes held in a sports stadium, with many more watching on television. Company shares continued to attract investors despite the uncertainties of a stodgy economy, crippling government regulations, and political corruption, in part due to the shares’ handsome dividends as well as the founder’s charisma and vision.

With investors eager to own shares, Reliance expanded rapidly into sectors adjacent to its textile business, and in 1985 it became known as Reliance Industries Limited. After gaining the capacity to manufacture petrochemicals useful for synthetic textiles, such as polyester staple fibre and purified terephthalic acid, it later began manufacturing plastics and, eventually, refining petroleum. In 1991 Reliance opened a massive industrial complex in Hazira, Gujarat state, propelling the corporation to the forefront of production in the global polyester market. By the turn of the 21st century its new petroleum refinery in Jamnagar, Gujarat state, commanded a refining capacity far exceeding that of any other petroleum refinery in the world.

Arc de Triomphe Paris

Arc de Triomphe Paris  There is no doubt that everyone visiting Paris for a vacation is going to want to get a great shot in front of the world’s most famous Arch for Instagram. The  Arc de Triomphe Paris , the most monumental of all triumphal arches, was built between 1806 and 1836. Even though there were many modifications from the original plans (reflecting political changes and power struggles), the Arch still retains the essence of the original concept which was a powerful, unified symbol for France. The Arc de Triomphe stands at the center of the Place Charles de Gaulle, also known as the “Place de l’Étoile”. It’s located at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. The arches whole decorative style is entirely of the tradition of sculpture from the first half of the nineteenth century. The triumphal arch is in honor of those who fought for France (and in particular, those who fought during the Napoleonic wars). Engraved on the inside and at the top of ...

Natural resource management

Natural Resources Management Natural resource management  issues have attracted increasing attention in recent decades, particularly in Asia, partly in response to a sequence of crises in energy, food, water, and other resources. Effective governance and management of resources have always been important, but have become increasingly challenging in the face of changing climate, livelihoods, and market pressures. Many Asian countries have compromised their natural resource base for the sake of development, and are consequently facing various environmental challenges. The pressure on natural resources has potentially been aggravated by the development of infrastructure, advancement in extraction techniques, and expanding product markets that enlarge extraction opportunities for concession holders as well as local populations. Under such circumstances, the quality of land, water, and forest is threatened, and the regenerating capacity of resources is hardly guaranteed. T...

National Mall

National Mall the 2-mile-long expanse of open space extending from the U.S. Capitol to the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, and from the White House to the Jefferson Memorial — is a unique symbol of our American democracy and a national gathering place for civic celebrations and demonstrations. The monuments, open spaces, and majestic vistas represent the historic legacy of the L’Enfant Plan of 1791 and the McMillan Plan of 1901-02 for the Nation’s Capital. The 1791 L’Enfant Plan and the Mall In 1791, at George Washington’s request, Peter (Pierre)* L’Enfant drew up a plan for a city 10-miles square and centered on the Congress House (Capitol). The L’Enfant Plan laid out the Nation’s Capital as a physical embodiment of the newly ratified U.S. Constitution. The Capitol Building marked the city’s center and highest spot. Broad diagonal avenues named for the 13 colonies overlaid a grid of residential streets. Pennsylvania, site of the Constitutiona...
