Known for her lavish wedding to Anand Piramal – where Beyoncé performed – and her friendship with stars like Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Yale-educated Isha Ambani is an advocate for women’s rights and has earned rave reviews for her fashion sense

While Mukesh Ambani’s US$50 billion fortune makes him the richest man in Asia, it’s his glamorous children who often steal the headlines. His only daughter, Isha, is making a name for herself for various reasons, from the worthy causes she supports to her A-list friends and her much-raved-about fashion choices.

Here are some things you should know about this stylish 27-year-old.

She’s extremely well-educated

Just because Isha’s an heiress to such a vast fortune doesn’t mean she is resting on her laurels. This intelligent young woman graduated from Yale in 2014 with a degree in psychology and South Asian studies. Then she went off to Stanford Business School, where she earned an MBA. According to The Economic Times, she gave her father the idea for Jio, one of India’s most popular 4G networks, while at Yale.

She's dedicated to empowering other women

 

Isha is passionate about using her platform and opportunities to lift up women around the world. Like her mother, Nita, who’s involved in many women’s advocacy groups, Isha wants to bring life-changing digital tools to women who might otherwise not have access to them. Isha believes that access to products like Jio open up new employment and financial opportunities to underprivileged women.

Her wedding was a lavish occasion
