Antilia: Inside world's second most expensive private home
Located on Altamount Road in Mumbai's elite Cumballa Hill, Antilia, the residence of Mukesh Ambani, is not just a home it's a landmark. With an estimated value of over USD 1.8 billion (approx. Rs. 15,000 crore) as of 2023, Antilia is the second most expensive private residence in the world, following only the UK's royal Buckingham Palace.
Spread over 27 stories and 400,000 square feet, Antilia is a vertical palace that stands out even in one of the world's priciest real estate markets. Designed with exclusivity in mind, the house is said to cost around Rs. 2.5 crore per month just for maintenance, according to media reports. This includes a full staff of over 600 people to keep the massive property running smoothly.
Why is it called Antilia?
The name Antilia is inspired by a mythical island believed to have existed in the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal and Spain, referenced by explorers in the 15th century. True to the mystery and legend of its name, Antilia is cloaked in intrigue and exclusivity.
When was Antilia built? When did Ambani family move there?
Construction of Antilia began in 2004 and was completed in 2010, but the Ambani family didn't move in until 2011. Instead, they continued living in their previous residence, Sea Wind, in Cuffe Parade for several more months. The delay, reportedly, was due to concerns over Vastu Shastra. The design flaws didn't align with vastu norms, and it is said that spiritual consultations and modifications were made before the family moved in.

Govt reiterates commitment to women's empowerment
Hyderabad: Telangana's IT and Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu has reaffirmed the state government's resolute commitment to women's empowerment, stressing that this dedication is evidenced not merely by words, but through decisive and measurable actions. The Minister made these remarks during the ceremonial launch of the 'SITHA' (She Is The Hero Always) app, developed by SheJobs, held here on Monday. He described the app's introduction as a celebration of a broader movement, one that aims to provide women across Telangana, irrespective of their background, with equal access to opportunities, economic independence, and leadership roles. 'True empowerment,' the Minister asserted, 'occurs when women are free to exercise their rights within the household and are actively involved in decision-making.' Quoting the latest 'Men and Women in India – 2024' report, released by the Central Statistical Office (CSO), he highlighted that 86% of rural women and 89% of urban women in Telangana are participating in household decisions. 'These are not just statistics,' he stated, 'but indicators of Telangana's silent revolution towards gender equity. They represent steps towards fulfilling the vision of a just and inclusive society.' He underlined that women form the backbone of Telangana's social fabric, and the government remains unwavering in its mission to ensure equal access to education, employment, and leadership. The government is establishing Mahila Shakti Canteens at government offices and tourist locations and has already distributed Rs 21,000 crore in zero interest loans within just the first year of this initiative. Furthermore, Telangana has entered agreements with oil corporations to set up petrol bunks in all 31 districts, which will be managed by women's collectives, in an effort to further promote self reliance and financial security.
