From Non-Executive to Executive

In 2023, all three of Mukesh Ambani’s children — Akash, Isha, and Anant — were added to the Reliance board as non-executive directors. At that time, they received only sitting fees and a commission of ₹97 lakh each. Anant’s new role as Executive Director marks a key shift in Reliance’s succession planning.

Anant, 30, has been working with Reliance since 2015. He is part of the oil-to-chemical (O2C) business and leads key projects like the vinyl and polyester units and the New Energy Gigafactories. He also supports social efforts through the Reliance Foundation and wildlife conservation initiative Vantara.
