In fact, I owe it to Dhirubhai for what I am today.”
In the introduction to this book, Mukesh D Ambani has said, “I admire and warmly appreciate Parimal Bhai for the effort he has put in to bring his enormous fund of memories of Dhirubhai together and impart a new life to them in the form of a highly readable book. Much has been written about my father. This book, however, is unique in that no other author can claim to have had such close and numerous interactions with him, and also with the Ambani and Reliance Families.”
