A former Executive Director at Reliance Capital, he has played an important role in the financial services wing of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. Educated in the United States and known for his sharp intellect and calm demeanor, Anmol has gradually transitioned from corporate finance into a more private, purpose-driven lifestyle focused on independent ventures and social commentary.
Early Life and Education
Born in December 1991 in Mumbai, Anmol Ambani grew up in one of India’s most high-profile business families.

Throughout his formative years, Anmol showed interest in economics, investment strategies, and global markets, which later shaped his early professional career.
Entry into Business
After returning to India, Anmol joined the family business at a time when Reliance Capital was undergoing significant restructuring. In 2016, at the age of 24, he was appointed as Executive Director of Reliance Capital. During his tenure, he contributed to:
- Strategic decision-making and investor engagement
- Streamlining of business verticals across insurance, asset management, and lending

His lifestyle choices suggest a shift from corporate leadership to inner exploration, echoing a broader trend of young entrepreneurs seeking meaning beyond profit.
Family and Personal Life
Anmol shares a close relationship with his younger brother Anshul Ambani and remains rooted in the legacy of his parents, Anil and Tina Ambani. While he remains active in private initiatives, he appears selective about public engagements.
