Mukesh Ambani is among the most powerful corporate tycoons in the world. He is the chairman and largest shareholder of Reliance Industries Limited, a conglomerate spanning petrochemicals, refining, oil, telecommunications, and retail.
Under Mukesh Ambani’s leadership, Reliance Industries has undergone a massive transformation. After his father, Dhirubhai Ambani, passed away, he became CEO and grew the company into other industries, most notably telecoms. They have several excellent businesses, including Reliance Global Corporate Security, Jio Platforms, Reliance Retail, Reliance Industrial Infrastructure, Network 18, and many more.

Mukesh Ambani’s economic prowess has brought him several honors and a position among the richest people in the entire world. Beyond the economic world, his wealth and influence are well-known due to his charitable endeavors. Owing to his hard work, Reliance Industries Limited currently stands as the 48th most valuable corporation globally. Additionally, RIL became the first Indian business to reach the milestone of Rs. 20 lakh crore in February 2024 when its market capitalization crossed that enormous threshold.
Like in profession, Mukesh Ambani is also rich when it comes to his family. In 1985, he married Nita Dalal, a professional Bharatanatyam dancer. The couple welcomed twins, Isha and Akash Ambani, into their family on October 23, 1991. Later on, they again embraced parenthood, this time with a baby boy. They named him Anant Ambani.
Unlike how rich people are portrayed as careless towards their children in movies, Mukesh and Nita put their kids before anything else. That’s why Mukesh has a wonderful relationship with his three children, Isha, Akash, and Anant. Due to this, Mukesh doesn’t hesitate to spend crores on their children’s weddings.
