MUMBAI : Twenty five-year-old Anmol Ambani was the top twitter trend this evening for at least three hours after he addressed an annual general meeting (AGM), along with parents Tina and Anil Ambani, of the Reliance Group. This was Ambani Junior’s first public speech after being made executive director of Reliance Capital, the financial services arm of the group.

“I look at the future with immense optimism. Our journey ahead is full of resplendent opportunities,” he said.  “Together we are digital; we are disruptive; we are dreamers,” he said referring to the opportunity to design the financial future of India. “We believe the future will be a combination of physical and digital, that is ‘phygital’,” he added, referring to the ‘series of innovations’ that his company has made.

Financial services business of conglomerate Reliance ADAG, said the company aims to be the number one in the financial services market in the coming years on the back of technology. “We are gifted to have the opportunity to design the financial future of a nation with enormous potential and ambition. Together we are digital, we are disruptive, we are dreamers,” the junior Ambani said while making his first Annual General Meeting speech today.

He further added that the company is already number one in the NBFC segment in terms of networth. “We are in a prime leadership position across all our business. Our aim is for our businesses to be ranked in the top 3 within their respective industries in the near future,” said the 25-year-old scion of the Reliance ADAG group, which has seven different lines of business present across all financial service verticals, namely, insurance, mutual funds, home finance, asset management and commodities, among others.
Anmol has a degree from Warwick Business School in the UK and has been deeply involved in the financial business segment for the last two years. Being a next gen entrepreneur, Anmol also thinks like a startup. He said, adding that India is on t the brink of major economic reforms and the need of the hour is to upskill, educate and inform the Indian masses — financially, educationally, digitally and technologically — so as to reap benefits in future.
First cousins Isha and Akash Ambani, the children of India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, took centerstage in July when their company, Reliance Jio, announced its plans for the country’s cheapest smartphone.
Exactly a year ago, at last year’s AGM, an excited Anil Ambani had introduced Anmol as Reliance Capital’s new Executive Director, saying he hoped the “Anmol Effect” would continue as he attributed a 40 per cent surge in share price since Anmol’s induction to the “tremendous luck” his son had brought the company.
