Despite the financial setbacks faced by his father, Anmol's strategic moves and accomplishments within the Reliance Group highlight his potential to rejuvenate and continue the family’s business heritage.

In the realm of Indian business, fortunes can shift dramatically, shaping the destinies of families like the Ambanis. While Mukesh Ambani, India's wealthiest man, frequently captures media attention along with his immediate family—Nita Ambani, Akash Ambani, Anant Ambani, and Shloka Mehta—his brother Anil Ambani tends to avoid the spotlight. As anticipation builds around Anant Ambani's upcoming wedding, curiosity has grown about Anil Ambani’s son and Mukesh Ambani’s nephew, Jai Anmol Ambani.

Jai Anmol Ambani, often referred to as Anmol Ambani, was born on December 12, 1991. He is the eldest son of Anil Ambani, who was once the world's sixth-richest man with a net worth exceeding Rs 1.83 lakh crore. Anmol's education began at the esteemed Cathedral and John Connon School in Mumbai. He later attended Sevenoaks School in the UK and earned a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree from Warwick Business School.

Anmol recently garnered media attention with his opulent wedding to Khrisha Shah. The grand event, held at Sea Wind, the Ambani family residence in Mumbai’s Cuffe Parade, saw attendance from numerous celebrities. Khrisha Shah is the daughter of the late Nikunj Shah, former chairman and managing director of Nikunj Enterprises Limited, adding her business expertise to the Ambani family.

Anmol’s career in business started early with a summer internship at Reliance Mutual Fund at 18. By 2014, he had formally joined Reliance Mutual Fund, quickly advancing within the Reliance Group. A pivotal moment came in September 2017 when he was appointed Executive Director of Reliance Capital.

In April 2018, he expanded his responsibilities by joining the boards of Reliance Nippon and Reliance Home. Despite resigning from the Reliance Infra board in October 2019, his tenure at Reliance Capital saw a 40 percent increase in the company's share price, earning commendation from his father, Anil Ambani.
Wealth and Assets

Jai Anmol Ambani has a net worth reported to be $3.3 billion (Rs 20,000 crore). His love for luxury is evident in his collection of high-end vehicles, including a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a Lamborghini Gallardo. Additionally, he is rumored to own private jets and helicopters, used for business travel.

Despite the financial setbacks faced by his father, Anmol's strategic moves and accomplishments within the Reliance Group highlight his potential to rejuvenate and continue the family’s business heritage.

Jai Anmol Ambani’s transformation from an academically inclined student to a key player in the Reliance Group underscores his determination and capability. His journey stands as a testament to his diligence and resilience, offering a promising future for Anil Ambani’s legacy.
