Anant Ambani joins Jio Platforms as director

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.
