Mukesh Ambani
Mukesh Ambani chairs and runs $110 billion (revenue) Reliance Industries, which has interests in petrochemicals, oil and gas, telecom, retail and financial services.
Reliance was founded by his late father Dhirubhai Ambani, a yarn trader, in 1966 as a small textile manufacturer. After his father’s death in 2002, Ambani and his younger sibling Anil divvied up the family empire.
Reliance’s telecom and broadband service Jio has close to 450 million subscribers. In August 2023, Reliance listed its finance arm, Jio Financial Services. Ambani is pivoting Reliance into green energy.
The company will be investing $80 billion over the next 10-15 years on renewable energy and building a new complex next to its refinery. Ambani’s three children joined the board of Reliance in August 2023. Son Akash heads Jio; daughter Isha oversees retail and financial services; and younger son Anant is in the energy business
Nita Ambani
“In India, women are discriminated against even before they are born.
Seven hundred thousand girls are killed in the womb and from there onwards, it’s an uphill struggle for girls. What kind of an India and what kind of a world do we want for ourselves and our children? Dear Tina, my fellow co-host, the entire Women in the World team, esteemed guests, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you, Tina, for that generous introduction. You are a true icon of women’s empowerment. Your work on how women can bring about transformational change in the world is truly amazing. The Women in the World Summit surely stands out as a lighthouse for millions of women across the world.
It is indeed a privilege to be here today on the same platform as some of the most accomplished women from India and from around the world. To speak after such wonderful women can sometimes be overwhelming, but let me try. Why do I support women and what does it really mean to me? Well, it’s not about me. It’s about uplifting millions of women in this country.
The Reliance Foundation directly impacts the lives of more than 2.2 million women in India through its initiatives in education, health, rural transformation, disaster response and sports. Why do we do this? Is it philanthropy? Is it CSR? Of course, it’s all of these, but much more.
