A year has passed since the wedding of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani, an event that not only captured India's attention but resonated across the world. Their 2024 wedding was much more than a family celebration—it became a cultural phenomenon, uniting millions across continents as they witnessed the grandeur and spiritual depth of Indian traditions broadcast across mainstream and digital media.
Hindu marriage is revered as a divine covenant—binding not only two individuals but entire families and communities in a sacred, lifelong partnership. Far beyond a legal arrangement, it is an act of dharma, an offering of responsibility toward personal, familial, and cosmic balance.
While modern lifestyles often abbreviate traditional ceremonies, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant consciously chose to follow every sacred rite with sincerity and reverence. Guided by the wisdom of elders and spiritual leaders, they began their life together rooted in the profound customs of their ancestors. Their commitment to preserving tradition resonated far and wide, inspiring audiences around the world.
At a time when India is expanding its global influence in finance, technology, and diplomacy, this spiritually enriched ceremony further projected India's image as a land of timeless culture and wisdom.
The guest list reflected India's growing prominence—drawing statesmen, business leaders, and cultural icons from around the world. This celebration became a showcase of India's ability to blend ancient tradition with modern leadership, affirming its place as a beacon of global soft power.
Reliance Industries and the Ambani family's meticulous efforts to host such a global confluence underscored their dedication to forging meaningful international ties and nurturing India's image as a global leader.

Mrs & Mr Anant Ambani
In the spirit of 'Manav Seva hi Madhav Seva' (Service to humanity is service to God), the Ambani family inaugurated their wedding festivities with a Samuhik Vivah—a mass wedding for 50 underprivileged couples at Reliance Corporate Park, Navi Mumbai. All family members personally blessed the newlyweds, with over 800 guests joining this humanitarian celebration.
Further embracing the spirit of giving, a community kitchen (Bhandara) operated for three weeks, feeding over 1,000 people daily—ensuring the celebrations shared joy beyond social circles.
The multi-day festivities honored a variety of spiritual and cultural traditions: Mosalu: A cherished Gujarati ritual where the groom's maternal family blesses the couple with gifts.

From Mumbai to the World: Ambani Wedding Sets a New Gold Standard in Cultural Diplomacy

Family (L to R) Mr Akash Ambani, Mrs Shloka Ambani, Mr Anant Ambani, Mrs Radhika Ambani, Mr Mukesh Ambani, Mrs Nita Ambani, Mr Anand Piramal, Mrs Isha Ambani In 2024, the marriage ceremony became India's most followed cultural event with millions of people from across the world watching the beautiful and meaningful rituals unfold on mainstream as well as social media. Mumbai, India: July 12, 2025: One year ago, India played host to a wedding that captured not only the nation's imagination but also the world's attention. The marriage of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani in July 2024 was more than a union of two individuals; it was a powerful assertion of India's cultural identity, spiritual depth, and global reach. In a world where weddings often lean toward the performative, the Ambani-Merchant nuptials were a conscious reassertion of meaning—where tradition, ritual, and modern diplomacy converged on an unprecedented scale. Millions around the world tuned in via mainstream and social media to witness a celebration that was simultaneously deeply intimate and globally resonant. A Sacred Commitment Beyond Ceremony At its heart, the wedding celebrated the essence of Hindu matrimonial tradition—a sacred, lifelong commitment deeply rooted in dharma (duty), family, and society. Unlike many contemporary Indian weddings, the Ambani family adhered closely to age-old Vedic customs. Every ritual was observed with precision and purpose, guided by spiritual leaders and Hindu dharmagurus. This dedication to authentic tradition not only honored ancestral heritage but also communicated a message of reverence to a global audience. In doing so, it reminded the world that Indian weddings, at their core, remain profound spiritual journeys. India's Soft Power on Full Display Set against the backdrop of India's rising global influence—in finance, technology, and geopolitics—the Ambani wedding subtly but powerfully reaffirmed the country's image as the world's spiritual and cultural nerve centre. The guest list alone made headlines. It was a veritable who's who of international politics, business, and culture—underscoring India's expanding global footprint. Notable political figures included: From global boardrooms to Silicon Valley, the business world responded with equal enthusiasm: Pop culture icons such as Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, and Jay Shetty added a modern flair to the otherwise spiritually charged setting. The Largest Spiritual Assembly in Wedding History One of the most remarkable aspects of the wedding was the presence of over two dozen revered spiritual leaders—an unparalleled assembly at any private celebration in recent memory. Among them: This gathering was symbolic of India's spiritual pluralism and the reverence still afforded to dharma, yoga, and the vedic worldview—even among today's global elite. A Grand Humanitarian Undertone Yet, perhaps the most striking quality of the wedding was its humility. True to the ethos of 'Manav Seva hi Madhav Seva' (service to humanity is service to God), the celebrations began with a mass wedding ceremony for 50 underprivileged couples. Hosted at Reliance Corporate Park, Navi Mumbai, this was a powerful reminder that even amidst opulence, compassion need not be forgotten. Additionally, the Ambani family organized a three-week-long community kitchen ( bhandara ), serving over 1,000 meals daily marking a rare confluence of social outreach and private festivity. Rituals Rich in Heritage The wedding included a sequence of culturally rich pre- and post-wedding ceremonies: A Living Tribute to Banaras The design and theme of the wedding day, 'An Ode to Banaras,' recreated the spiritual atmosphere of the ancient city within the ultra-modern Jio World Centre in Mumbai. From the ghats to the crafts, cuisine to chants, guests were immersed in the cultural depth of Varanasi, often referred to as India's eternal city. Adding to the immersive aura was the dress code: 'Resplendently Indian.' Guests from around the globe donned traditional Indian attire, turning the venue into a kaleidoscope of regional weaves, embroidery, and handcrafts. This sartorial celebration served as a tribute to India's artisanal brilliance. A Cultural Milestone, A Global Moment Twelve months later, the wedding of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani is remembered not simply as a high-profile affair, but as a pivotal moment in global cultural diplomacy—one where tradition met modernity, faith embraced futurism, and hospitality merged with humanitarianism. In a fragmented world, the Ambani wedding was a rare display of continuity, cohesion, and celebration—of India, of culture, and of humanity.

AHPS: The Best CBSE School Making Waves in Indian Education

What if India's classrooms hold the secret to its rise to global fame? The vision of NEP 2020 is to make India a global knowledge superpower. The policy envisions an education system that is focused on India and directly contributes to the country's sustainable transformation into a thriving, egalitarian knowledge society. The goal of this policy is to give everyone access to high-quality education, and following the path of this transforming policy, the AHPS, one of the best CBSE schools, is making waves in the Indian education sector. One of the most recognized schools in India, Academic Heights Public Schools (AHPS) incorporates the idea of NEP 2020 to provide value-based education rooted in the Indian ethos. The school's innovative curriculum fosters creativity, critical thinking, and character development by balancing academic rigor with extracurricular achievement, making it one of the best CBSE schools in India. Students of Academic Heights Public School engaged in a hands-on science activity, exploring the solar system through interactive learning models. Education, without a doubt, is an important component of India's progress and growth. It fosters students' practical skills and intellectual growth. As stated by Draupadi Murmu, the president of India, 'the quality of a country's education system reflects its level of development.' Ajay Gupta, the CEO of AHPS, never allowed his disability to stop him from being an entrepreneur. He launched his playschool chain, Bachpan, in 2004, followed by Academic Heights Public School a few years later. In an exclusive interview with Time Business News, he discusses providing quality education to every student. 'Our primary aim from the start has been to make 'affordability' a key component of the quality education and learning resources we provide to the students. Since we have very well achieved our aim through a variety of ways, it allows us to make preschool as well as formal school education accessible to all sections of society.' Indian education is one of the biggest and most varied in the world, and it is essential to the social and economic advancement of the nation. It has advanced its educational system from the time of the ancient Gurukuls and historic universities like Nalanda to the contemporary schools and universities of today. Serving both urban and rural populations, it is governed by numerous national and state-level organizations. The Indian government has introduced many initiatives like the Samagra Shiksha Scheme, which integrates Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA), and Teacher Education (TE) to provide inclusive and equitable quality education from preschool to senior secondary levels. It seems like one of the best CBSE schools has geared up to prepare our youth for the future. With a strong expansion strategy and an alluring CBSE school franchising model, AHPS is quickly expanding its footprint throughout India as the demand for high-quality education rises. It provides new partners with extensive assistance in infrastructure development, personnel training, and academic resources, hence assuring uniformity in educational standards throughout all branches. Aiming to create future-ready people and make top-notch education available to all societal levels, it is coordinating with India's global education aspirations while keeping an eye on Vision 2047 and the country's long-term developmental objectives. AHPS, a quickly expanding school franchise in India, is significantly influencing the country's educational system. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
