The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced the re-election of Nita Ambani, Chairperson of Reliance Foundation and wife of Asia’s richest person, Mukesh Ambani, as a member of the IOC from India
Nita Ambani’s re-election, conducted at the 142nd IOC session in Paris that is currently underway, comes ahead of the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games this weekend.
“This re-election is not just a personal milestone but also a recognition of India’s growing influence in the global sporting arena,” said Mrs Ambani after her re-election.
Nita Ambani was first appointed to join the prestigious body in 2016, at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games.
Since then, as India’s first woman to join the IOC, Nita Ambani has already made great efforts for the association, including hosting the first IOC session in Mumbai for over 40 years, in October 2023.
As part of a long-term partnership with the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), Reliance Foundation will open the first-ever India House at the Paris Olympics 2024 this summer.
India House will be a ‘“home away from home” for athletes, a place to celebrate wins, and share India’s Olympic journey with the world.
