Mukesh Ambani calls on corporate India to build a support system for working women
Reliance chief seeks stronger ecosystem supporting working women, mothers and leadership
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, urged corporate leaders to create an ecosystem that supports more working women and mothers in employment and leadership roles. Speaking at the launch of a Hindi edition of Arundhati Bhattacharya's memoir, Ambani noted that India Inc still has "a very long way to go" in recognizing women's opportunities.
The Reliance Foundation pledged full participation in the initiative, with Bhattacharya and other accomplished women leaders expected to lead it. Ambani emphasized the importance of this cause across India's diverse regions, stating that women are now leaders in various fields and that the country's progress relies on their rise.
Bhattacharya, who has been a Reliance Industries board member since 2018, was praised for her strategic thinking, problem-solving skills, and commitment to diversity. She challenged the idea that breaking barriers is enough, instead advocating for continuous mentorship and opportunity creation for others.
