Nita Ambani and family

Reliance Foundation Founder-Chairperson Nita Ambani said being a teacher, her first priority was to raise her children well. Speaking at Harvard University's Annual India Conference 2025, Ambani said that she is very proud of her three children, Akash, Isha and Anant.

"I think I have raised kind, compassionate children who are doing some wonderful things," she said. Ambani added that she is also proud of the 75,000 children who have graduated from the schools under the foundation. "I had the privilege to shape their future in a small way," she said.

Nita Ambani further said that she has really enjoyed building institutions which are "timeless". The Dhirubhai Ambani International School and the Nita Mukesh Ambani Junior School in Mumbai, along with 14 other schools run under the foundation are some of them. IPL franchise Mumbai Indians, Reliance Foundation Hospital and the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre are also some of the institutions she also mentioned.

Nita Ambani is married to Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani. The couple share three children together - Akash, Isha and Anant.

Nita Ambani also shared how her mother felt proud that the same Harvard they aspired for but could not send young Nita because of financial constraints, has now invited her to deliver the keynote session on their prestigious platform.

In a video posted by Reliance Industries Limited, Nita could be seen saying, "Before I start, I just have to say something. Today in the morning, my 90-year-old mother got very emotional and called my two daughters-in-law, Shloka and Radhika, and said, when Neeta was young, we couldn't afford to send her to Harvard, though she wanted to. But now, today, they have called her to speak at Harvard. So I just want to thank you all so much for making my mother so happy today."
