Jai Anmol, 22, the elder son of Anil and Tina Ambani, has a degree from Warwick Business School in the UK. His younger brother, Jai Anshul, 19, is pursuing higher studies in the US and will join father Anil’s business empire later.

Jai Anmol is the third member of the Ambani gen next, after cousins Akash and Isha Ambani, to start working. Akash is employed with father Mukesh Ambani’s company, Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), while his twin sister Isha is with McKinsey & Co in the US.

Sources close to the group companies said both Mukesh and Anil Ambani are grooming their children in the same manner that they were prepared by Dhirubhai Ambani. Mukesh and Anil joined Reliance when they were in their mid-20s, and helped their father set up the world’s largest petrochemical complex at Patalganga near Mumbai.

While the spokesperson for the Anil Ambani-led Reliance Group did not respond to queries by HT, those in the know said Jai Anmol will spend two or three years at Reliance Capital before taking on a larger role in the group’s businesses.

“He will be first trained at the corporate level in Reliance Capital under Sam Ghosh. After this initial stint, Jai Anmol will then move on to spend few months each with the respective heads of the verticals under Reliance Capital,” one source said.

Reliance Capital has various verticals dealing with mutual funds, life insurance, commercial finance, securities, general finance etc.

Jai Anmol was actively involved in crafting Reliance Power’s recent `12,000-crore buyout of Jaypee Associates’ hydel power projects, sources told HT.

Besides power and financial sector, Anil Ambani’s Reliance group’s other businesses includes media and entertainment, infrastructure and telecom sector.
