The twin children of India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, were in the spotlight when they each got married within three months of the other. Their weddings, held in December 2018 and March 2019, drew thousands of guests, including bigwigs such as former U.S. Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, KKR’s Henry Kravis and Sundar Pichai of Google. But the siblings, who sit on the boards of Reliance Jio Infocomm and Reliance Retail the fast-growing telecom and retail arms of Reliance Industries, haven’t been taking it easy.
“Work comes first,” says Akash, who leads Jio’s business development.Jio acquired more than a dozen tech startups this year in areas such as AI, last-mile delivery and music streaming. Jio became one of India’s biggest mobile carriers just three years after launch thanks to a price war that forced some competitors to shut down. Isha is involved with the Reliance Foundation and branding and marketing for Jio. She recently forged a partnership between Jio and the Connected Women Program at GSMA,
a global group of mobile carriers, to help Indian women gain digital access.
