Ambani Vs Ambani: How Have the Brothers Fared Since Their Split?

Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd sold dollar bonds at the cheapest rate by a non-financial Indian issuer this week. That came days after his younger brother Anil Ambani’s Reliance Communications Ltd defaulted on its bond payments.
It somewhat sums up how the fortunes of the billionaire siblings have diverged since their split in 2006.
As part of the family settlement, the older Ambani got oil refining, exploration and petrochemicals businesses housed under RIL, the owner of the world’s largest refinery in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The faster-growing financial services, infrastructure and telecom businesses went to the younger brother.
More than a decade and a gas dispute later, Mukesh Ambani now also has a large retail business and a data-driven wireless carrier that has triggered a tariff war. Anil Ambani’s businesses haven’t fared that well. Reliance Communications, under pressure due to piling debt and falling profitability, has been among the worst hit.

Debt Comparison

Reliance Industries’ debt more than doubled to Rs 1,96,601 crore in the last five years as it invested in its telecom arm – Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd.

Still, its interest coverage ratio – a measure of a company’s ability to service debt – remains healthy. A ratio of one or more means that the company will cover its cost of debt for the year.

Anil Ambani-led businesses’ debt rose at an unsustainable pace. Reliance Power Ltd's total debt nearly doubled in the last five years. It also rose substantially for Reliance Infrastructure Ltd and Reliance Communications.
While the telecom operator is already struggling to service its debt, the interest coverage ratio has fallen for the other two as well.

Anil Ambani’s group companies have lagged. While Reliance Capital Ltd’s revenue rose at a higher annualised rate of 23.3 percent since the split, profits rose at a compounded annual rate of 4.4 percent.

Reliance Infrastructure’s profit rose at 5.5 percent CAGR, whiles its share price rose a 2.4 percent annualised rate. His telecom business is already making losses with shares hitting an all-time low this month.
Reliance Power was excluded since it wasn’t part of the combined group and was set up by the younger Ambani after the split.

The biggest deal in health care industry

What the CVS-Aetna deal means for the future of health care When drug company chief executive Heather Bresch was hauled in front of Congress last year to defend the high price of lifesaving EpiPens, she drew skeptical lawmakers' attention to a large poster board that blamed the skyrocketing price tag on a coterie of drug supply chain middlemen. Of EpiPen's $608 list price, her company, Mylan, received only $274, Bresch said. "What the patient is paying is not . . . coming back to Mylan," Bresch said. "And when we were speaking earlier of the people, the middlemen in the system, that's either the pharmacy benefit managers, retailers, wholesalers, insurers." That supply chain — rarely seen by most consumers — is the center of attention in the corporate world after CVS Health announced a $69 billion deal to buy Aetna, the nation's third-largest insurer. Familiar as a corner drugstore, CVS Health actually makes most of its money from one of t

H-1B extension is now more difficult trump tightened walls again

Trump admin makes it more difficult for H-1B visa extension USCIS said the previous memorandum of April 23, 2004 appeared to place this burden on this federal agency. In a new directive, the Trump administration has made it more difficult for the renewal of non-immigrant visas such as H-1B and L1, popular among Indian IT professionals, saying that the burden of proof lies on the applicant even when an extension is sought.  Rescinding its more than 13-year-old policy, the  US Citizenship and Immigration Services  (  USCIS ) said that the burden of proof in establishing eligibility is, at all times, on the petitioner.  USCIS said the previous memorandum of April 23, 2004 appeared to place this burden on this federal agency.  "This memorandum makes it clear that the burden of proof remains on the petitioner, even where an extension of non- immigrant status is sought," USCIS said in its latest memorandum issued on October 23.   Under the previous policy, i
