The Ambani family was out in numbers for Reliance Industries’ 44th annual general meeting. The head of the family business and one of the world’s richest men, Mukesh Ambani was supported by his mother Kokilaben, wife Nita, children and in-laws at the big event that took place on June 24.

The meeting was held virtually because of pandemic restrictions, with Mukesh and Nita thanking employees for doing their bit to fight the virus in India as well as celebrating the spirit of Indians during a very difficult time.

Here’s what else you need to know about the biggest public Ambani reunion of the year.

Paying tribute to Dhirubhai

Mukesh paid tribute to his father during the address. He applauded staff for their efforts to curb the spread of Covid-19 and said their efforts would have made Dhirubhai – the company’s founder – proud, as the common thread that motivates everyone at Reliance is the spirit of care and empathy. According to Economic Times, he said his father always had a positive mindset and that this is the most useful resource for anyone in life. He ended with one of his father’s famous quotes: “Challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction, and initiative will always triumph.”

A family affair

The Ambani family showed their support by attending the AGM too. Besides Mukesh and Nita, there were their twins, Isha and Akash, though their youngest son Anant was not present. Family matriarch Kokilaben was also there, smiling as her son spoke about his father’s legacy. Nita’s mother Purnima Dalal and sister Mamta Dalal were also there.
