Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries Limited, is one of the richest individuals in the world. According to Forbes, as of May 5, 2025, Mukesh Ambani's real-time net worth is reported at $108 billion. Despite being widely recognized for his sharp business instincts, Mukesh Ambani has a deep appreciation for life's simpler joys, especially when it comes to food. One of his longtime favorites is South Indian cuisine, with a special fondness for the dishes served at Mysore Cafe in Matunga, Mumbai, a place he has loved since his childhood.
Despite his extraordinary success, Mukesh Ambani's fondness for simple, traditional dishes such as upma and idli reflects a deep-rooted connection to his modest upbringing. He holds a special affection for a humble Rs 100 South Indian meal from his favorite eatery—so much so that he often carries it with him on international trips.
A video that recently went viral on social media shows YouTubers Ranveer Allahbadia and Kamiya Jani visiting the iconic Mysore Cafe in Matunga. While enjoying a spread of flavorful South Indian dishes, Ranveer asked the staff about Mukesh Ambani's regular order. The staff revealed that Ambani typically opts for Rasam Vada, Idli, and Onion Rawa. When asked whether he dines in, they shared that he usually prefers to get his food packed. They also added that Upma is another favorite he frequently orders for takeaway.
As per the price list on Zomato, Rasam Vada (two pieces) is priced at ₹115, a plate of Idli costs ₹95, and Onion Rawa Masala Dosa is available for ₹190. According to The Print, the Ambani family's fondness for Mysore Cafe runs deep. Their love for the eatery's flavorful offerings—including idlis, upma, dosas, Mysore Pak, chutney, and sambhar—is so strong that they often have the food packed from there, even when heading out on trips.

Shein and Reliance aim to sell India-made clothes abroad within a year, sources say
HighlightsFashion retailer Shein, in partnership with Reliance Retail, aims to expand its Indian supplier base from 150 to 1,000 within a year, with plans to start overseas sales of India-made Shein-branded clothing within six to twelve months. Shein's return to India follows a ban in 2020 due to government actions against China-linked companies, and now operates under a licensing agreement with Reliance Industries, offering locally produced apparel through the platform. The partnership between Shein and Reliance Retail is part of a broader trend among global fashion companies seeking to diversify sourcing outside of China amid ongoing trade tensions, with Reliance planning to invest in new suppliers and enhance manufacturing capabilities in India. Fashion retailer Shein and partner Reliance Retail plan to rapidly expand their Indian supplier base and start overseas sales of India-made Shein-branded clothes within six to 12 months, said two people with knowledge of the matter. The China-founded, Singapore-headquartered e-commerce firm has been discussing plans with the Indian retailer since before the U.S. imposed tariffs on Chinese imports that intensified the need to diversify sourcing, the people said. The aim is to raise Indian suppliers to 1,000 from 150 within a year, they said. In a statement to Reuters, Shein said it licensed its brand for use in India. Reliance did not respond to queries. Shein sells low-priced apparel such as $5 dresses and $10 jeans shipped directly from 7,000 suppliers in China to customers in around 150 countries. Its biggest market is the U.S. where it is adjusting to tariffs on low-value e-commerce packages from China which were previously imported duty free. The retailer launched in India in 2018 but its app was banned in 2020 as part of government action against China-linked firms amid border tension with its northeastern neighbour. It returned in February under a licensing deal with the Reliance Industries unit which launched selling Shein-branded clothes produced in local factories. In contrast, Shein's other websites mainly list goods from China. Reliance, controlled by Asia's richest person, Mukesh Ambani , has contracted 150 garment manufacturers and is in discussion with 400 more, said the two people, declining to be identified due to confidentiality concerns. The goal is 1,000 Indian factories making Shein-branded clothes within a year for both the Indian market and to service some of Shein's global websites, the people said. Shein initially wants to list India-made clothes on its U.S. and British websites, one of the people said. Discussions have been ongoing for months and the launch time of six to 12 months could change depending on supplier numbers, the person said. The scale of supplier expansion and export time frame is reported here for the first time. Shein has licensed its brand for domestic use to Reliance which "is responsible for manufacturing, supply chain, sales and operations in the Indian market," Shein said in a statement. In December, Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal told parliament that the Shein-Reliance partnership aimed to create a network of Indian suppliers of Shein-branded clothes for sale "domestically and globally". ON-DEMAND MANUFACTURING Shein is a fast-fashion behemoth earning annual revenue of over $30 billion through low prices and aggressive marketing. Most of its products are from China with some made in countries such as Turkey and Brazil. Its expansion in India mirrors interest in the country from the likes of Walmart and others throughout the global fashion and retail industries, particularly those looking for suppliers outside China due to the Sino-U.S. trade war. The Shein India app has been downloaded 2.7 million times across Apple and Google Play stores, averaging 120% on-month growth, showed data from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower. Offerings during its first four months have reached 12,000 designs, a fraction of the 600,000 products on its U.S. site. In the women's dresses category, its cheapest item is priced 349 Indian rupees ($4) versus $3.39 on the U.S. site as of June 9. Shein's Indian partner Reliance, which operates the app, is working with suppliers to assess whether they can replicate Shein's global best-sellers at lower cost, the two people said. Reliance aims to emulate Shein's on-demand manufacturing model, asking suppliers to make as few as 100 pieces per design before increasing production of those that sell well, they said. Executives from Reliance recently visited China to understand Shein's "innovative" supply chain operations, "data driven" design processes and "disruptive" digital marketing, Manish Aziz, assistant vice president Shein India at Reliance Retail, said in a LinkedIn post in which he called Shein's scale and speed "truly incredible". The partnership is one of dozens Reliance has with fashion brands, such as Brooks Brothers and Marks and Spencer. The firm also runs e-commerce site Ajio and its retail network competes with Amazon and Walmart's Flipkart as well as value retailers such as Tata's Zudio. Reliance plans to work with new suppliers to source fabric - especially fabric made using synthetic fibres where India lacks expertise - and import required machinery, the people said. The firm will invest in suppliers and help them grow which in turn will help the Shein-Reliance partnership go global, they said.

Elon Musk's Starlink to launch Internet services in India within two months, offers one-month free trial. Details here
Elon Musk's satellite internet service Starlink is gearing up to start operations in India within the next two months after receiving a licence last week, reported ANI. Starlink is the third company to get a licence from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). Before Starlink, the DoT had approved the operations of Eutelsat's OneWeb and Reliance Jio to provide services in the country. As part of the brand's launch strategy, Starlink plans to offer a complimentary one-month trial period with each device purchase, allowing customers to test the service before starting regular monthly payments, said ANI. The company has also finalised its pricing structure for the Indian market, setting the cost of the required satellite dish device at approximately ₹ 33,000. Customers are expected to be charged ₹ 3,000 for the monthly unlimited data plan, ANI reported. The satellite internet service is preparing to shake up connectivity in India's remote and underserved regions, where traditional broadband infrastructure has been challenging to establish or simply non-existent, as per the report. Starlink's low Earth orbit satellite constellation promises to deliver high-speed internet access to far-flung locations previously unreachable by conventional terrestrial networks. ANI reported that the pricing structure remains consistent with Starlink's regional strategy, as the device costs remain the same as neighbouring countries. In Bangladesh, the Starlink device is priced at ₹ 33,000, while Bhutan maintains the same ₹ 33,000 price point for the equipment. Starlink currently operates in over 100 countries, offering both residential and roaming plans. In most regions, the residential service is divided into two categories: Residential Lite, designed for light usage and smaller households, and Residential, suited for larger households with higher data needs, according to Financial Express. Earlier this year, the company signed pacts with Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio and Sunil Bharti Mittal's Bharti Airtel, which are the largest telecom firms of India.
