Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son Anant Ambani on board of Jio Platforms; here’s what he had said about RIL

Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Asia’s richest person Mukesh Ambani, has formally joined the group’s digital venture Jio Platforms as an additional director, and this is the first time that Anant Ambani has become a part of his family business. Anant Ambani has been appointed as additional director on the Jio Platforms board, with effect from 16 March 2020. Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son had not been a part of any of Reliance Industries businesses thus far. On the other hand, his elder siblings Akash and Isha Ambani were already on the boards of Reliance Jio Infocomm and Reliance Retail Ventures since 2014, and had also joined the board of Jio Platforms. Anant Ambani has joined the board of RIL’s digital and telecom arm at a time when RIL is going heavy on consumer faced business.

“India should lead the change and Reliance should be at the forefront of that change. Reliance meri jaan hai (Reliance is my life),” the 25-year old son of Mukesh and Nita Ambani had said while delivering a keynote speech at the birth anniversary of his grandfather — RIL founder Dhirubhai Ambani, earlier.
