Abstract:
				
					
						| 
 
The case discusses the dispute between Mukesh Ambani (Mukesh) and Anil 
    Ambani (Anil) relating to control and 'ownership' issues of Rs. 1000 billion 
    Reliance Group of companies, the largest family-owned business in India. The 
    seven-month-old dispute was settled on June 18, 2005, with Mukesh getting 
    control over Reliance Industries (RIL) and IPCL while Anil got control over 
    Reliance Infocomm, Reliance Energy and Reliance Capital. The case describes 
    the rapid growth of Reliance group under the leadership of Dhirubhai Ambani, 
    the founder of the group. It illustrates the factors that lead to the 
    division of family-owned businesses. The case also highlights the 
    implications of the division, the opportunities and challenges for the two 
    brothers in the near future.
