Anant Ambani, son of Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, has formally joined the Reliance empire, after being appointed as an additional director on Jio Platforms board.

Anant, born in 1995, is the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani.

His siblings – twins Akash and Isha Ambani – joined the boards of Reliance Jio Infocomm and Reliance Retail Ventures in 2014.

Isha graduated from the Yale University with majors in psychology and South Asian studies in 2013 and had worked with global consultancy firm McKinsey for a brief period. Akash graduated from Brown University with a major in Economics.

Akash and Isha had joined the empire about the same age as their father Mukesh, who was 24-years-old when he joined RIL in 1981. However, Anant joined the business at 25.

A letter from the Editor


Dear Readers,

The coronavirus crisis has changed the world completely in the last few months. All of us have been locked into our homes, economic activity has come to a near standstill. Everyone has been impacted.

Including your favourite business and financial newspaper. Our printing and distribution chains have been severely disrupted across the country, leaving readers without access to newspapers. Newspaper delivery agents have also been unable to service their customers because of multiple restrictions.

In these difficult times, we, at BusinessLine have been working continuously every day so that you are informed about all the developments – whether on the pandemic, on policy responses, or the impact on the world of business and finance. Our team has been working round the clock to keep track of developments so that you – the reader – gets accurate information and actionable insights so that you can protect your jobs, businesses, finances and investments.

Our website and apps too, are updated every minute, so that you can access the information you want anywhere, anytime.
