Mrs. Nita Ambani, Founder and Chairperson, Reliance Foundation, was honoured by the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in New York. This special honour recognises Mrs. Ambani’s expansive philanthropic work in the areas of Education, Sports, Healthcare, Rural Transformation, Urban Renewal, Disaster Response, Women Empowerment and Promotion of the Arts. She is the first South Asian to receive this distinguished accolade.
The Met was most impressed by the diversity and scale of the work carried out by Reliance Foundation, led by Mrs. Ambani. The direction she gives the Foundation has helped it to focus its work on sustainable urban and rural transformation as well as healthcare, education, grassroots development through sport, and women empowerment. The Foundation’s support of Indian Art and the aim to take it global stems from Mrs. Ambani’s personal passion.
Reliance Foundation has benefited over ten million Indians, touching the lives of individuals across more than 10,500 urban areas and villages.
