In the world of big business and billionaires, we often see the famous names taking the spotlight and getting all the recognition, but what remains behind the curtains are the key team players who are integral to building any empire. One such tale is of a person who has played a big role in the growth of Reliance, he is Mukesh Ambani's childhood friend, his most trusted advisor, and someone who is popularly referred to as Dhirubhai Ambani's third son.
The person we are talking about is Anand Jain, Mukesh Ambani's school friend. Mukesh and Anand studied together at Hill Grange School in Mumbai. Having a relationship of over 25 years, Anand has been very close to the entire Ambani family dynasty, especially Dhirubhai Ambani. Their relationship wasn't just emotional; Anand was so loyal to the Ambani family that he even left his own Delhi business to work with Mukesh Ambani in Reliance Industries when he came back to India.
From real estate, telecom, to finance, Anand has played an integral role in the growth and expansion of Reliance Industries. In fact, according to the media, it is reported that besides his great contribution to the Reliance Industry, he never took a salary for his work.
Besides his contribution to Mukesh Ambani's empire, Anand also runs his own business. With over 30 years of experience in real estate, finance, and capital markets, Anand is the chairman of Jai Cop Limited. Anand has also made significant investments in approximately 33 projects in 14 cities across India. Today, his net worth is around $525 million.
Taking the legacy forward, his son, Harsh Jain, also owns an empire. he is the co-founder and CEO of Dream11 and Groww. Dream 11 is India's top sports platform and is currently a million-dollar company, which has partnered with A-list cricketers like Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni, and Hardik Pandya.
Groww, on the other hand, is an online financial services platform that offers investment opportunities.
Speaking of Harsh Jain's personal life, he tied the knot in 2013 with dentist Rachna Shah. Rachna also gathered a lot of eyeballs in the past after she purchased a duplex apartment next to Mukesh Ambani's Antilla. The apartment is on the 29th and 30th floors and is considered to be Mumbai's most expensive building. The luxurious apartment is worth a whopping Rs. 72 crores
Away from the limelight, Anand Jain is a paramount part of Ambani's family, both personally and professionally. His loyalty and commitment show what true relationships that surpass the level of friendship look like.
