The subject

Mukesh Ambani has been chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries since 2002, and is Dhirubhai's elder son. Under him the company moved into telecommunications with Jio, which changed the cost and reach of mobile data across India.

The work

A companion work, built on the same fourteen-by-sixteen grid. Two portraits sharing a grid share a constraint: every difference between them had to be found inside the same six colours.
