The Priceless Photos from Tina Ambani’s Social Media: Reflecting Her Virtues and the True Bond of the Ambani Family

Image
  Photography is a story; we fail to put into words. This is what a video that Tina Ambani posted on World Social Media Day says as its frame freezes to an end. For someone, whose life has been fraught with stories, be it in professional life or personal life, nothing rings more true. Tina’s whole life has been about sharing. Right from her efforts to encourage budding artists who seem to be standing in an endless wait for their crafts to be recognized, to her care-giving for elders and now her efforts in healthcare. It seems she couldn’t get enough of reaching out to others. Just empathizing doesn’t cut it for her. She believes in doing. Her social media reflects the very same sentiment. Right when she started off, in place of just plugging in a throwback image from the past, she chose to post a picture of her niece Isheta instead lauding her work for supporting the cause of tigers. A close look and you will find her expressing gratitude, or invoking her followers to take care of th

The Ambani Family: Tied Together By the Thread of Humility

Image
The ties that the Ambani family have had and continue to do so are meant to be the entries of the record books.   Once the most powerful family in India, the foundation of devotion to each other was shaken after the demise of Dhirubhai Ambani, the father of Ambani brothers. The way the two brothers feuded over the split of the empire that their father had created from scratch, it formed for a spectacle and was rancorous on so many levels. 4. But then, Kokilaben Ambani, a diminutive woman at 70, with sons Mukesh and Anil, daughters Deepti and Neena, sons-in-law Raj Salgaonkar and Shyam Kothari in tow, armed with a four-page agreement and a 300-word press statement, brokered peace between her warring sons. "I am confident that Mukesh and Anil will uphold the values of their father and work towards enhancing value for RIL shareholders," she said. The trouble was spelt when the elder brother started acting really big to the extent that the younger one found himself iso

Tina Ambani and Anil Ambani In Together For Making World A Better Place

Image
It was exactly on Kokilaben’s birthday in the month of February of 2005, when Anil Ambani, Chairperson of Reliance Group, surprised Tina, his wife by handing over the MoU of Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital. “For me it was like a birthday gift.” He handed over the project to her and said, “It is your baby now”, a project, she not only nurtured, but aided in prospering as well. Being a corporate-housewife and former Bollywood star with no knowledge of medicine or how to set up a hospital was handed the challenge and Anil told her that he would find her one person to help--after that she was on her own. As a matter of fact, it was Anil who the hospital started, told her that since that both of them have to start giving back to the society since they have got so much from it. “You have got so much from the society. I have got so much from the society. We need to give back. We need to nourish the people we live with, to nourish the societies we live in, the communities we live

Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital: The Most Preferred Hospital of the Celebrities in India

Image
It was a breezy yet sunny day of January 28, 2009 when the Greek God of Bollywood (or so he is called) when Hrithik Roshan was faced with a challenge during the shoot of the movie Kites where he had to break a piece of glass with his hands. The upshot was a profusely bleeding Hrithik with his arms slit, and it was a sight. The shoot happening in Filmistan Studio of Goregaon West, it was Papa Roshan’s choice to get him treated at Tina Ambani’s freshly inaugurated hospital Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital. All he did was make a phone call to Tina was in Delhi at the time and lo! All the arrangements were made. For the uninitiated, Hrithik was the first patient to be treated there. But with that incident, there was no looking back. Soon enough, the hospital turned out to be the one of the most preferred hospitals by the celebrities. The multispecialty hospital today has most of the celebrities frequenting the hospital lest any emergency arises. But who all are those, who have be

Anil Ambani and Finance Business: When Being a Financial Wizard in Business Pays Off

Image
Courage doesn’t always roar. It’s a quiet voice in some of us that leads us on telling us to silently keep on going till the hardwork doesn’t pay off and the miracles that we have long believed in do not present themselves to us. For Anil Ambani, this rung true every time his some business developed a chronic fault line. While his other businesses may have suffered wreckage due to colossal debts, owing to his wizardry in the sphere of finance has helped him to make it successful in finance business, if not anything else. Anil ventured into Reliance Capital the finance business with Reliance Capital which he got after the 2002 demerger post his father’s demise.   In 2006, Reliance Capital Ventures Limited merged with Reliance Capital. With this merger the shareholder base of Reliance Capital rose from 0.15 million shareholders to 1.3 million.   At the onset during the years of 2006-2007, Reliance Capital started off as an asset management. During those years, Anil was known fo

Anil Ambani and Entertainment Business: Entertaining India While Waging War on Debts

Image
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines. Once a business magnate, now the chairperson of Reliance Group, Anil Ambani seem to have taken cue from this saying a lot and had continued toeing the line from the problems that kept surfacing in his life. Somehow, his ‘never say die’ conduct has helped him to scramble his way out from the deepest pits of hard luck, failing times, people failing him and dust off all the negativity and start yet again. And this is precisely why his entertainment business is doing phenomenally well even as he walks the tight ropes of debt. Anil made an advent into the world of entertainment in 2005 with his acquisition of a majority share in Adlabs Films. At that time, he looked like a self-starter tapping into the massive potential of the entertainment sector that it had to offer. Albeit he started off with cashing in on with the connections that his wife Tina Ambani already had in the industry, overseas, he carved out a niche for himself and

Reliance Communications: Hung Up After a Few Missed Calls

Image
How can people trust the harvest unless they see it sown? For the business tycoon Anil Ambani and the Chairperson of Reliance Group, the seeds of mistrust were sown in such a white-collar fashion that he could judge that the harvest for it would be so faulty, it would do him more loss than it would do him any good. Anil was once a proud owner of a flourishing telecomm business named Reliance Communications.   At that time, the empire lying in wait to be built by Anil with the soon burgeoning telecom stretched out a couple of billion dollars at the time in the form of revenues with a net income of say approximately $7 million, but one may contend here that the business was still in its nascent stage.   One would imagine that with a fast-growing and liberalising India with an incessant longing for electricity and cheap communication, Anil couldn't really lose. But the only quandary over here was more like his other businesses, were capital hungry. R-Com, nonetheless, didn’t
