Hailing from a family of pharmaceutical tycoons, Radhika is the daughter of Viren and Shaila Merchant, founders of global pharmaceutical manufacturer Encore Healthcare.
Radhika, 29, graduated from New York University in 2017 with a bachelor's degree in political science and gained diverse experiences during her academic journey. Her internships ranged from business strategy consulting at Cedar Consultants in Mumbai to contributing her skills at luxury real estate firm Isprava.
Currently, Radhika Merchant is actively involved in Encore Healthcare and serves on the board of directors along with her sister Anjali. Her family dynamic positions her father as CEO and vice president, while her mother holds the CEO position.
Beyond her business acumen, Radhika is a trained classical dancer who spent eight years in Bharatanatyam at Shree Nibha Arts Dance Academy in Mumbai and completed her formal training in 2022.
Radhika and Anant Ambani, reportedly childhood sweethearts, formalized their engagement in January 2023, leading to their next wedding scheduled for July 12.
As Mukesh Ambani, Asia's richest person with an estimated net worth of $113.8 billion, prepares to welcome Radhika to the family, the extravagant pre-wedding celebrations have attracted global attention, with luminaries such as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg gracing the occasion.
