Akash’s twin sister - and Mukesh and Nita’s only daughter - Isha was also born on Oct. 23, 1991. Like Akash, she also attended college in the U.S., graduating from Yale University in 2013 with a degree in psychology and South Asian studies. She then went on to earn her M.B.A. at Stanford University in 2018.
She also joined the family business and now serves as a member of the board of Reliance’s various branches, per her bio on the company’s website. Though she told Vogue Australia that she once had aspirations to be a teacher, she added that she always knew that she would contribute to Reliance in some way.
“My parents raised me with very traditional values, and it was ingrained in me from an early age that family should always come first,” she told the outlet in July 2017. “I’ve always believed that part of my personal responsibilities towards my family extends professionally as well.”
Isha added that as the only woman in her family involved with the company, she felt it was important to show other women the impact they could have in the workforce - and owed her own confidence to her father.
“However, my best role model is my father. Because of him I believe fearlessness is a virtue,” she said. “He raised me to believe I could achieve anything if I am courageous, hardworking and self-confident. He taught me there is no glass ceiling.”
In December 2018, Isha married her husband billionaire Ajay Piramal’s son, Anand Piramal. During her pre-wedding celebrations, Beyoncé performed for a star-studded guest list including Nick and Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Hillary Clinton. Bloomberg reported that Mukesh spent over $100 million on Isha’s wedding.
Four years later, Isha gave birth to twins Krishna and Aadiya on Nov. 19, 2022.
