For many young Indians, affordable mobile data and online shopping are integral to daily life. Isha M. Ambani has contributed significantly behind the scenes to both sectors.

At Reliance Retail, her focus has been on expanding physical and digital retail formats, including platforms such as Ajio and Tira, while broadening the company’s private label portfolio.
