believe in what you do, the energy just to Anmol!” says Khrisha. “That apart, she
presents itself!”
Ambani is the first to acknowledge,
though, that teamwork is equally intrinsic
to success. “You have to be able to
empower people in every organisation,
delegate, put your faith in people so they
can deliver the best results.” Accessible
and open with her teams, she welcomes
candour, encourages dialogue and relishes
interaction. “It’s very easy to isolate and
insulate yourself from the world and live
in a bubble,” she says. “Very easy but very
limiting. While there’s reassurance in
consistency and the known, we all need to
come out of our comfort zones, shift chairs,
and see life afresh. That only happens with
interaction, meeting people with different
life experiences. You can learn something
from every single person you meet. To
believe that you cannot is sheer arrogance.
It is also vital to understand that there is no
expiry date to personal growth.”
That personal growth continues when
she’s ‘off-duty’. Ambani limits her social
engagements, preferring downtime with
the family. Her “circle of love”, as she
calls it, has widened with the addition of
daughter-in-law Khrisha to the family
two years ago when she married elder son
Anmol.
Dinners en famille are a ritual, greatly
relished over stimulating conversation
with Khrisha and Anmol, younger son
Anshul, and Anil. “The children bring
such energy to the home,” she says. “Their
perspectives are unique; they have such
courage of conviction.”
“What I admire most about Mom is
that she’s always been a rebel and a
revolutionary – never afraid to challenge
cultural norms or to shake up the status
quo – a trait that has definitely passed on

is a diligent and dedicated working woman,
a title she is immensely proud of, as much
as the pride in the work done by her team.
She would any day choose a day at the
office over a night out partying. Mom has
always offered platforms and opportunities
to newcomers, to help showcase their
work and level the playing field. That is
something I resonate with, and have also
worked towards in my own capacities.”
Anshul, too, swears by her work ethic.
“What I admire about Mom is her passion
and hard work,” he shares. “Once she sets
her mind on a certain goal, it is almost
impossible to stop her from achieving it.
Her force and drive are so strong that the
outcome is inevitable: excellence. Nothing
less will do!”
For his part, Anmol describes his
mother as a strong, determined, powerful
and graceful woman who has been a
gamechanger and trailblazer in everything
she has pursued. “She has always been an
independent woman from a very young age
and I really admire that. One of the greatest
lessons I have learnt from her is to always
stand your ground and stand in your
truth.”
