Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) Chairman Akash Ambani, while speaking at the Mumbai Tech Week 2025, said he has personally never worked for titles and, instead, believes in creating an impact with his work.
During a fireside chat with Harsh Jain, co-founder & CEO, Dream Sports, when Ambani was asked about the big shoes he needs to fill as Jio Chairman, the businessman said: “I think it’s a great honour to be chairman. But I’ve never personally worked for titles and they don’t mean a lot to me personally in the sense when we were growing up, what we saw is a legacy being created. Started from my grandfather and extended by my father, my mother, now myself, Isha and Anant trying to continue to build that legacy.”
He added: “What is that legacy? That legacy is really beyond creating impact and creating impact for our country first, then for our company. That’s something that we have to embody. Me and Isha, as we grew into these big shoes to fill, no doubt they’re big shoes to fill, but understanding that impact, creating that impact as we go on into the future, try to create our own businesses, try to create our own impact on society for the good of society and the good for India, and then what happens to the company is next.”
“So, it’s not really the title that you think you should feel the responsibility for. You should feel the responsibility for creating that impact and actually helping millions and millions of Indians to thrive.”
The Ambani scion, during the conversation, credited his parents for inspiring him and his siblings.
“The inspiration is not too far to find in both my parents. I deeply value the human beings that they are and the work that they do. But the inspiration really does not come from, you know, large items. Of course, the vision, the boldness, the ability to be very, very inspiring. It comes from the small things, you know, like for example, till date my father clears each and every email that is sent to him and he does it till 2am at night. And he’s working for the fourth decade of his working life. And that’s where the inspiration really comes from.”
“My mom, very, very similarly, like we’ll be staring at the same thing. We share a joint passion for cricket and we’re watching the same TV. But the small little details that she notices is something that you can draw inspiration out of, and I think, out of and above everything, their dedication is the biggest inspiration for everyone around us who have grown up around them.”
