The past decade has bagged a lot of cherished memories for everyone and there’s a lot to be grateful for! While some had reached a zenith on their professional fronts, some had created memories of a lifetime in their personal life. Words can never do justice to thank God for everything we have received, be it professionally, personally or both. Just like us, the Ambani family too, never leaves a chance to be grateful to God for making them what they are today, be it taking blessings from God before any auspicious occasion or hosting grand puja at their residence.

Nita Ambani, Isha Ambani Piramal and Shloka Mehta chose to coordinate their traditional ensembles with similar hues. Nita ji looked graceful as ever in a heavily-embroidered pink outfit. Isha looked gorgeous in a pastel-coloured outfit which had intricate floral embroidery on it. Shloka, on the other hand, opted for a less-embroidered attire. But the Ambani ladies, as always, stole the limelight with their simplicity and classiness. Mukesh Ambani, Akash Ambani and Anand Piramal chose to wear a black suit for the event.

In a 2017 interview with GQ magazine, Akash Ambani had revealed what drew him to the business and was quoted as saying, “As a student at an American university, I knew first-hand the power of super-fast broadband: where high-speed internet was a fundamental service and daily life depended on it – our courses, entertainment, everything. I also knew the bandwidth I was getting at home was absolute bullshit. I couldn’t even Skype with my friends in America while I was in India. So I knew there was a big market gap, and looked at Jio as an opportunity to solve the broadband issue: for mobile as well as for people’s homes. We were the 14th operator to enter this market, but that doesn’t mean the 15th player won’t disrupt us. That’s why I spend a lot of time studying new technologies. We disrupted the market, but can’t believe someone won’t try again.”
When asked what has he learnt from his father, Mukesh Ambani, Akash Ambani had stated, “As a student at an American university, I knew first-hand the power of super-fast broadband: where high-speed internet was a fundamental service and daily life depended on it – our courses, entertainment, everything. I also knew the bandwidth I was getting at home was absolute bullshit. I couldn’t even Skype with my friends in America while I was in India.

And how her mother, Nita Ambani gave him his first exposure to work with their Indian Premier League (IPL) team, Mumbai Indians, Akash Ambani had shared, “She gave me my first exposure to work with the Mumbai Indians. They’re Reliance’s best-loved consumer brand, though not a huge business; yet she didn’t let me take it lightly or for granted, insisting that I be thoughtful about all aspects. Initially, I’d get tired and wonder why I should think through things like financial structure. I was a kid at the time, and thought that my job was to pick the players. But she made sure I was involved in all aspects, and showed me why focusing on details is crucial: that as a responsible leader you need to be on top of everything, not just the aspects that give you a sense of power. And this fundamental shift in mindset has allowed me to enjoy everything I work on.” (Also Read: Isha Ambani And Anand Piramal's First Anniversary, Love Story From Being Family Friends To Soulmates)
