How Mukesh Ambani turned a pollution problem into a billion-rupee mango empire, it is Asia's largest..., its worth is Rs....
Asia's Largest Mango Orchard: Asia's largest mango orchard belongs to Reliance Industries owner and Asia's richest man Mukesh Ambani. Mangoes from this orchard are exported to countries around the world. Mukesh Ambani is not only the chairman of Reliance Industries, but is also the largest mango trader and exporter in India.
Reliance Industries owner Mukesh Ambani has a huge mango orchard in Jamnagar, Gujarat. This orchard is spread over about 600 acres and is known as 'Dhirubhai Ambani Lakhibagh Aamrai'.
This garden of Mukesh Ambani has more than 1.5 lakh mango trees and more than 200 varieties of mangoes are grown here, especially premium varieties like Hapus (Alphonso) and Kesar. Originally planted to combat pollution from the sprawling Jamnagar refinery, this green initiative has grown into a flourishing agro-enterprise producing 10,000 tons of mangoes every year.
Every year thousands of tonnes of premium mangoes are exported from Mukesh Ambani's orchard to the US, Europe and Gulf countries, where these mangoes are in great demand for their high quality, taste and aroma.
The garden functions like a modern agricultural laboratory, where techniques such as drip irrigation, soil health monitoring and organic farming are used, ensuring yield and quality at par with international standards.
Mukesh Ambani started cultivating mangoes in 1998, when he transformed barren and saline land into fertile land, keeping in mind environmental needs and pollution control. Not just combating pollution, but this imitative also generated as many as 500 jobs.
Nita Ambani herself takes the responsibility of looking after this garden. Apart from this, Reliance also provides training in modern farming to the nearby farmers and every year about 1 lakh saplings are distributed to the farmers for free.
Mango has created a strong business connection between India and America, where Mukesh Ambani's Reliance is meeting the growing demand for Indian mangoes in America and Europe.

Border game changer: Strategic 'China-proof' road near LAC to be ready next year
In a boost to border infrastructure along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), an alternate route to the strategic Daulat Beg Oldie (DBO) sector in Ladakh, free of surveillance by Chinese soldiers, will be ready next year. India has fast-tracked the construction of the new road following the Galwan Valley clash in 2020 amid a border standoff with 130-km-long new route, via Sasoma-Saser La-Saser Brangsa-Gapshan-DBO, will be a secure and faster alternative to the existing Darbuk-Shyok-DBO (DSDBO) road, which is vulnerable to Chinese CUT TRAVEL TIME FROM 2 DAYS TO 12 HOURSThe new road, being built by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), will reduce the distance from Leh to DBO by 79 km and cut down the travel time dramatically from two days to just 11-12 hours. This will not only allow India to mobilise troops without being exposed to Chinese observation, but will smoothen logistics movement in the critical border Beg Oldie houses the world's highest airstrip at 16,614 feet, and holds immense strategic value due to its proximity to the Karakoram Pass and the contentious Depsang region, where China has frequently challenged Indian sources said the BRO has upgraded nine bridges on the new route from 40-tonne to 70-tonne load capacity to facilitate the movement of heavier vehicles and artillery. Trials with Bofors and other systems have already been conducted road originates from Sasoma in the Nubra Valley, close to the Siachen base camp. It will allow direct connectivity to DBO without needing to cross 'Project Vijayak' is undertaking the construction from Sasoma to Saser Brangsa, while 'Project Himank' is looking after the project to DBO. The total estimated budget is Rs 500 CHALLENGESThe terrain and extreme weather conditions presented formidable engineering at an altitude of over 17,000 feet, the region is prone to heavy snowfall and oxygen scarcity, limiting the construction window to just 5-6 months aid the construction workers, the BRO set up special "oxygen cafes" to ensure efficiency and safety. Several other strategic projects are going on in the region to enhance troop a detailed report is being prepared for an 8-km tunnel at Saser La (17,660 feet) to enable all-weather access.

India's listed startups raise over $5 billion from public markets in FY25
New Delhi: Venture-backed Indian startups raised over Rs 44,000 crore ($5.3 billion) in FY25 from public markets via initial public offerings (IPOs), follow-on public offerings (FPOs), and qualified institutional placements (QIPs), a report said on Monday. Public markets outpaced private capital for late-stage fundraising, solidifying their role as the dominant source of growth capital, according to Rainmaker Group's 'RainGauge Index FY25 Annual Report'. FY25 also marked the first full market cycle for India's startup listings after a euphoric period for IPOs in 2021–22, sharp corrections in 2023, and rationalisation in 2024. "All of this unfolded with a backdrop of a cyclical economic slowdown in India in FY25, causing a lot of consumer-facing companies to battle margin compression and weak topline momentum, the report said. The fiscal year also saw a secondary exit of over Rs 20,000 crore as private equity/venture capital (PE/VCs) harvested early bets through block deals. 'FY25 didn't just test India's startup listings, it matured them,' said Kashyap Chanchani, Managing Partner, The Rainmaker Group. The public market has become the preferred playground for India's breakout companies. We've now seen the full arc - the IPO frenzy, the valuation winter, and now a clear re-rating driven by fundamentals, Chanchani said. The financial year also saw some symbolic structural changes. Meanwhile, mutual fund participation surged, with average holdings in RainGauge Index companies, a pool of listed startups prepared by Rainmaker Group, rose from 10 per cent in March 2024 to 14 per cent in March 2025, the report said. Despite the early correction and record FII outflows of over Rs 78,000 crore in the first quarter of FY25, foreign investors returned strongly by Q4, driven by rate-cut expectations and India's steady macro indicators, the report stated. The Rainmaker Group is one of India's investment banks focused exclusively on the private markets.
