A tale of two brothers and their power over Indian media.
In India, it is difficult to escape the Ambanis and their brand name, Reliance. Whether you're shopping at a Reliance supermarket, fueling up at a Reliance petrol station, buying a Reliance mobile phone plan, watching a news channel owned by Mukesh Ambani, or reading up on news about his younger brother Anil, the Ambanis are everywhere.
