Radhika Merchant, daughter of pharmaceutical tycoons, is set to marry Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, in a lavish ceremony at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai.
The Ambani family, known for their booming business conglomerate spanning various industries, is considered royalty in India with an estimated fortune of $115 billion.
Anant’s upcoming nuptials with Radhika have captured the imagination of India, with pre-wedding celebrations attracting big Bollywood stars and international billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates.
The festivities included a grand feast followed by a performance by pop icon Rihanna, with the Ambanis seen dancing with the singer on stage.
Radhika, who is still in her 20s, was born in Mumbai in 1994 and studied political science in New York before returning to India to take on a more active role in her parents’ pharmaceutical business.
She is now a member of Encore Health’s board of directors and reportedly has a net worth of Rs 10 crore ($1,197,200). With her father’s fortune and her soon-to-be husband’s estimated net worth of $40 billion, Radhika and Anant are positioned to become a formidable “power couple” in India.
