Mukesh Ambani, the 67-year-old billionaire and one of the richest men globally with a net worth of Rs 963900 crore according to source, continues to expand his business empire.
His relentless pursuit of new business segments has now led him to a significant development in the financial services sector through Jio Financial Services (JFS).
