2. Speak less and work more

When it comes to Mukesh Ambani the 57 year old likes to keep a low profile. He isn't keen on social dos and neither is he voicing opinions on important economic issues at events such as the World Economic Forum. But still, he is one of the most talked about personalities in the country.

Ambani's focus has always been his business and this entrepreneur is credited for the creation of the world's largest petroleum refinery at Jamnagar in Gujarat besides other successful ventures.

3. Trust or depend on none

A feudal style of management is not the mantra today. And Mukesh Ambani realised it even before feudalism was out of the system. Ambani in an interview had said that he did not want "people carrying their wisdom in notebooks as if it is some kind of secretive operations".

While he has a trusted team of a few people, who have played a pivotal role in the growth of his empire , Ambani has always emphasized on the importance of being involved in one's own business. This is how he managed to create an empire with net worth of 1,76,766 crore in 2012-13.
