Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani is one of the most powerful business leaders across the world. He is the RIL Chairman and Managing Director. Mukesh has revolutionized the telecom industry with the launch of Jio into the Indian market by providing affordable high-speed internet access to many people across India and changing the way people in the country use technology.

Although Mukesh Ambani and his close family members are the visible face of the company, the entire Ambani family collectively controls 50.39% of Reliance Industries. Meanwhile, the remaining 49.61% is held by a broad group of public shareholders, including major global institutional investors. But do you know who holds the largest stake in Reliance?

Who holds the maximum shares in Reliance Industries?

The individual holding the largest number of shares in the Ambani family is not owned by Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani, Isha Ambani, Akash Ambani, Anant Ambani, or Anil Ambani. She is Kokilaben Ambani. The Ambani family even considers her Mahalakshmi of the Mukesh Ambani family. She holds the maximum stake in Reliance.

Kokilaben Ambani is the largest individual shareholder in Reliance Industries with holdings of 1,57,41,322 equity shares representing 0.24% of the company’s shares. She is the wife of Reliance Industries founder Dhirubhai Ambani. Kokilaben has a greater stake than any of her children and grandchildren. This gives Kokilaben Ambani an estimated net worth of around Rs 18,000 crore(reportedly).

On the other hand, Mukesh Ambani owns 0.12% of the company. When combined with the shareholding of his wife, Nita Ambani, and their three children, the family collectively hold 80,52,021 shares in Reliance Industries.

Kokilaben Ambani is not actively participating in the day-to-day management of Reliance Industries; however, she is still a very important player with respect to that organisation. She has been the guiding light for her family. She has had a substantial impact on establishing the direction of Reliance Industries and helping build the Ambani family into one of the largest groups in business history.
