In this episode, host Vishnu Sharma speaks with Amrita Singh, a reporting fellow at The Caravan, about Nita Ambani’s unprecedented rise within the Reliance Group.

For The Caravan’s December 2024 issue, Amrita wrote an in-depth profile of Nita Ambani, interviewing nearly seventy people who had witnessed her ascent. Almost all of them declined to be identified, fearing retaliation from the Ambanis. However, they provided key insights into Reliance’s dominance across industries, the inner workings of the business and the family, and Nita’s calculated efforts to position herself as the jewel in the Reliance crown.
