MUMBAI: Reliance Industries director Nita Ambani tops “Asia 50 Power Businesswomen 2016” list published by Forbes. The list acknowledges the breakthrough made by women in business realms overcoming issues of gender inequality.
In spite of being the wife of Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in India, she has established her own niche, through the wholehearted involvement in every chosen field. Seen in roles of a philanthropist, educationist, and many more she is truly a plausible representation of the multitasking quality inherent in every woman.“In a country where billionaire wives tend to remain in the shadow of their husbands, Nita’s rising profile in the Reliance empire is unusual and earns her a debut spot on our Power Businesswomen ranking this year,” Forbes said.
