At the Harvard India Conference 2025, Nita Ambani, chairperson of the Reliance Foundation, captivated the audience with her keynote speech and a lively rapid-fire interview.

Her witty reply has since gone viral on Instagram, drawing widespread admiration for her humor and diplomacy.
The conference, held on February 15 and 16, was organized by Harvard University students to explore India’s role in business, policy, and culture. Nita Ambani, wearing an elegant navy blue saree, stood out not only for her style but also for her impactful contributions.
A pre-event announcement highlighted her work through the Reliance Foundation, benefiting nearly 80 million lives in areas such as education, healthcare, sports, women’s empowerment, and disaster management. It also recognized her historic achievement as the first Indian woman elected to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and her role in India’s bid for the 2036 Olympics.
Additionally, Ambani was recently honored with the Governor’s Citation by Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey for her outstanding contributions to education, sports, arts, and women’s empowerment.
