Sunil Mittal, Mukesh Ambani give India Mobile Congress a miss

New Delhi: Top corporate leaders like Reliance Industries’ Chairman Mukesh Ambani and Bharti Enterprises Chairman Sunil Mittal gave mega telecom event India Mobile Congress (IMC) a miss this time around. Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla, Bharti Enterprises Vice-Chairman Rakesh Bharti Mittal and Reliance Jio Infocomm board member Mahendra Nahata were present at the inaugural session.

However, the two corporate honchos, Ambani and Mittal, who attended IMC in its last two editions, skipped the event this year.

Akash and Isha Ambani (children of Mukesh Ambani), who were scheduled to speak at a panel discussion on ‘leaders for the next generation’, too skipped the event. Also missing in attendance were Ananya Birla (daughter of Kumar Mangalam Birla), Kavin Bharti Mittal (Bharti scion), and Wipro chairman Rishad Premji.
