Mukesh Ambani’s family is expanding. With the upcoming nuptials of his youngest son, Anant Ambani, to Radhika Merchant in July, the Reliance Chairman will gain another daughter-in-law. Ambani’s two other children, twins Isha and Akash Ambani, got married in 2018 ans 2019 respectively.
Isha Ambani, who leads Reliance Retail tied the knot with Anand Piramal, the Executive Director of Piramal Group in December 2018, and Akash Ambani, who is the Chairman of Reliance Jio, got hitched to diamond heiress Shloka Mehta in March 2019.
Following their marriages, both sets of twins turned parents—with Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal welcoming twins of their own, Aadiya and Krishna, in 2022, and Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta giving birth to a baby boy Prithvi in 2020 and daughter Veda in 2023.
Considering Mukesh Ambani is the richest man in India (and the 11th richest in the world) with a net worth of $115.1 billion (Rs 9 lakh crore), it’s no surprise that his children are in possession of a vast fortune. With all her assets combined and her role as the head of Reliance Retail, Isha Ambani has a staggering net worth of Rs 835 crore, according to DNA. Akash Ambani, on the other hand, has a net worth of $40.1 billion (Rs 3 lakh crore).
The two older Ambani siblings have drawn up an impressive portfolio over the years. However, did you know why Mukesh Ambani, and his wife Nita Ambani, the chairperson and founder of the Reliance Foundation, named them Isha and Akash? There’s a special story behind the same.
