The Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, Mukesh Ambani's son Anant Ambani and Akash Ambani reached Uttarakhand's Rishikesh along with their wives Radhika Merchant and Shloka Mehta Ambani respectively. During the visit, both the Ambani brothers visited Parmarth Niketan and also participated in Ganga Aarti and Yagna.
As per reports by Dainik Jagran, the arrival was kept extremely confidential. While the purpose of their visit is yet to be revealed, sources claimed that the Ambani brothers along with their wives and kids stayed at the Taj Hotel in Byasi of Tehri district for the rest of the Saturday evening.
Anant, Radhika, Akash and Shloka participated in the grand Ganga Aarti, which takes place in Rishikesh. Reports claim that the Ambani family also participated in a Yagna to pray for happiness and prosperity. After this, they met the president of the organization Swami Chidanand Saraswati and took his blessings.
Following the program, the Ambani family members went back to their hotel and spent the rest of the evening there.
The family enjoyed the natural beauty of Rishikesh. However, the police and administration officials kept Anant and Akash's visit a secret. The media was also not allowed to know about their visit.
Anant and Akash with their family went back to Mumbai on Sunday morning. Meanwhile, the Ambani family often remains in headlines. Recently, Anant's interview with India Today has been making rounds on the internet, where he revealed the name of the person who stood by him through his ups and downs.
During the interview, Anant praised his wife Radhika Merchant for being an unwavering pillar of support throughout his struggle with health issues.
Anant said, 'I am lucky (to have her) for sure. She is the person of my dreams. Since childhood, I had thought that I would never get married because I was always devoted to taking care of animals. But when I met Radhika, I saw her sharing the same values as me. She has this sense of giving and nurturing towards animals.'
He further added, 'Beyond that, Radhika has stood like a strong pillar of support during my difficult times, as I battled with health issues. Even my parents never made me feel like I was ill. Even when doctors gave up on certain things, they never did. Additionally, Radhika gave me strength.'

Rs 78000 crore net worth, Rs 2.5 lakh crore company, yet people hardly know his name, meet man who built this famous fashion brand, his name is…, company is…
Recently, there was news that Mukesh Ambani's company, Reliance Retail, is working on a big plan. Now, Reliance Retail has partnered with fashion e-commerce company Shein to boost clothing production in India. Their goal is not only to make more clothes here but also to sell Indian-made Shein clothes around the world. Shein is a fast-fashion company that started in China but now has its headquarters in Singapore. The company is known for selling trendy clothes at low prices and uses smart marketing to attract customers. It makes over USD 30 billion every year. Even though the brand is popular, not many people know about its founder. Shein was founded by Chris Xu, who is also known as Sky Xu. He is the co-founder and CEO of the company. Shein is growing very quickly and is especially loved by Gen Z (young people). The brand sells stylish clothes in over 150 countries. Shein first came to India in 2018. But in 2020, the Indian government banned several Chinese apps and companies, including Shein. In February this year, Shein returned to India through a partnership with Reliance Industries. They launched a new website called where they now sell clothes made in India. This is different from Shein's other websites, which mostly sell clothes made in China. How it all started There is not much public information available about Shein's founder, Chris Xu, as he prefers to stay away from the media. He is 41 years old and was born in 1984 in Shandong province, China. Today, he also holds Singapore citizenship, where Shein's main office is based. Chris Xu studied at the Qingdao University of Science and Technology in China, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree. After graduation, he worked in marketing and gained expertise in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) while working at Nanjing Aodao Information Technology. During this time, Xu realized there was a huge opportunity to sell Chinese products in global markets. In 2008, he partnered with two others to start a company called Nanjing Dianwei Information Technology, which later evolved into what we now know as Shein. Chris Xu's net worth and Shein's rise A few years after starting out, Chris Xu launched a company called SheInside, which mainly sold wedding dresses at first. In 2015, he renamed the company to Shein. That same year, he moved the company's headquarters from Nanjing to Guangzhou, and later in 2022, shifted it again to Singapore. Chris Xu is not only the CEO of Shein but is also believed to be its largest individual shareholder of the company. Under his leadership, Shein has become one of the biggest fashion retailers in the world. The company is famous for its ultra-fast fashionable clothes, wide variety of products, and low prices. According to Forbes , Chris Xu has a net worth of USD 9.1 billion (around Rs. 78,000 crore), making him one of the richest people from China. In the first half of 2022, Shein raised funds at a valuation of USD 100 billion. However, due to a global dip in stock markets later, the company's valuation declined. Preparing for public listing In 2023, Shein took its first step into the offline retail market by partnering with Sparc Group, the company that runs the fast-fashion chain Forever 21. Through this partnership, Shein began selling its products in Forever 21 stores across the United States. Earlier, Shein was planning to launch its IPO (Initial Public Offering) in the U.S. However, the company has now shifted its focus and is preparing to list on the London Stock Exchange instead.

Mukesh Ambani home tour: Now visit Mukesh Ambani's luxurious mansion for just Rs 2; entry is..., it was once owned by...
Mukesh Ambani home tour: Now visit Mukesh Ambani's luxurious mansion for just Rs 2; entry is..., it was once owned by... Standing tall in the heart of Mumbai, Antilia is not simply a home, but it is a grand statement about the wealth and prestige of its owner, Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries. Antilia is one of the most expensive private homes in the world, and boasts 27 storeys of design excellence, luxury, and ambition. With an estimated value of Rs 15,000 crore, Antilia is not only a home; it is an experience. Antilia has vast ballrooms, hanging gardens, snow rooms, multiple helipads, more than ample champagne storage, and so much more; it pushes the limits of luxury living as we understand it. Antilia — one of the world's most expensive private residences — is nearly impossible to visit. But what if we told you, for only Rs 2, you could enter a home with ties to Mukesh Ambani? No, it isn't Antilia. This is a modest home with sentimental significance to the Ambani family – the site of their incredible journey's humble beginnings. The Ambanis' ancestral home is in Chorwad, Gujarat, which was established as a museum in 2011. This is the same house where Mukesh Ambani and his brother Anil Ambani spent their childhood. The property is a heritage property known as the Dhirubhai Ambani Memorial House, valued at approximately ₹100 crore. Famously known as the 'Mangarolvalano Delo', the palace is situated in the village of Chorwad in the Junagadh district of Gujarat, on the coast of the Arabian Sea. Built on a 1.2-acre plot of land currently valued at Rs 100 crore, the property is surrounded by a stunning garden filled with diverse flowers and trees. This house has two separate sections: one that is open to the public, and another that is solely private (and still occasionally visited by Ambani family members). This beautiful, two-storey house is over 100 years old. The entire property also sits on 1.2 acres – provides interesting courtyards, open and spacious verandas, and picture-perfect gardens, affording one the sense of a historic and peaceful place. Visitors will notice that the public area of the mansion is lavished with a rich selection of Dhirubhai Ambani's life and success — photographs, documents, awards, and souvenirs. The private area is reserved for the Ambani family and guests, providing the family with room to relax and contemplate. The mansion also has a library, a conference room, a meditation room, and a prayer room; blending legacy and peace. The mansion was initially owned by a local landlord, who leased a small section of it to Hirachand Gordhanbhai Ambani, Mukesh Ambani's grandfather, in the early 20th century. Hirachand, a school teacher turned trader and businessman, lived there with his wife, Jamnaben, and their six children, including Dhirubhai Ambani, born in 1932. Leading interior design firm Amitabh Teaotia Designs and Abhikram, a famous architectural firm, has completed the restoration work of the mansion. Their intent was to retain the mansion's original character and charm, while providing all modern comforts and conveniences. The firms also emphasized sustainability, making the house environmentally conscious and energy-efficient by using solar panels, implementing rainwater harvesting, and advocating organic farming. They also showed great attention to detail and aesthetics by using local materials, crafts, and motifs. In doing so, they created a seamless blend of tradition and innovations while reflecting Dhirubhai Ambani's ideals and vision. If you want to visit this historical residence, it is open to the public Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Entry is incredibly affordable — just Rs 2. Visitors can opt for a guided tour for an additional Rs 10 per person. A souvenir shop inside the mansion offers books and memorabilia for purchase. However, you have to purchase the tickets in person, and you cannot purchase them on the website. Inside, you will find many of Dhirubhai Ambani's things, including some of his personal belongings, some rare photos, and some high-profile awards, all of which are fabulously maintained. The ambiance of the house really takes you back to a different time and gives you a glimpse into the modest beginnings of one of India's most notable industrialists.
