Reliance Industries is one of the largest and most powerful companies in India, led by prominent businessman Mukesh Ambani. Under his leadership, the company has grown across various sectors of industries ranging from petrochemicals to retail, telecommunications, and digital services, with a firm footing both domestically and internationally. However, a conglomerate of this magnitude and complexity does not operate in isolation. The company relies on a devoted, competent, loyal, and experienced team of professionals who are committed to executing the company's overarching vision. Meet Mukesh Ambani's right hand!
Prakash Shah, a confidant of Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, has discarded worldly existence for a spiritual pursuit. He left his prestigious job, enjoying a salary of Rs 75 crore, to take sannyas (renunciation). Shah was a Vice President at Reliance Industries and was considered Mukesh Ambani's right-hand man.
Prakash Shah retired at the age of 63, and he entered spiritual life (through Diksha) shortly afterward. On the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti, he and his wife, Naina Shah, were formally Dikshad. He had always wanted to leave behind worldly life and was only waiting for the COVID-19 pandemic to end. Diksha is a spiritual initiation, where a person chooses to live a simple but disciplined life by striving to conduct oneself according to 'right' (righteous) deeds, with the hope of achieving liberation (moksha).
