Mukesh Ambani, the elder brother, retained Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), the flagship company of the Reliance Group. The part of the empire that was inherited by the younger brother Anil Ambani was christened as Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group.

Reliance's BIG DTH platform is being launched by publically held group company - Reliance Communications (RComm Ltd.).

Ltd and Reliance Big TV News Pvt. Ltd. Both these companies are held by private company - Reliance Entertainment Pvt Ltd. which has already been valued at Rs 13,035 Crore.
