Jamnagar's Transformation: Ambani Legacy Beyond Anant & Radhika Merchant's Pre-Wedding Bash

Facing scorching temperatures of 42 degrees Celsius with no trees around, the Ambani family undertook the mission to plant saplings across the arid region, which received less than 400 cm of rain, as shared with Fortune. Jamnagar has now developed a flourishing flora and fauna ecosystem, with rainfall doubling since then.

The who¡¯s who of film industry, business tycoons, sports personalities, influential people of the world and several others have descended in Jamnagar.?

Instead of opting for picturesque destinations like Tuscany, Santorini, Lake Como and others, Anant chose to embrace this city.?

In an interview with India Today, Anant cited two reasons for choosing Jamnagar as the venue for his and fianc¨¦e Radhika Merchant¡¯s pre-wedding events - PM Modi¡¯s ¡®Wed In India¡¯ initiative and his special connection with the place!

"It's a matter of pride and happiness when our PM said that one should get married in India," 28-year-old, Anant Ambani told India Today TV.

"I have grown up here, and it's my good fortune that we could plan the celebration here (Jamnagar). This is my dadi's janm bhoomi (birthplace) and my dada and papa's karm bhoomi (workplace)... And this is my home. My father often says that this is my dada's sasural (in-laws' house), so we are celebrating here. I also believe I am from Jamnagar, yahin ka nagarik hun," Anant Ambani added.

This move has put global attention on Jamnagar city.?

A lesser-known fact is that Reliance, operating the world's largest single-location oil refining complex in Jamnagar, Gujarat, with a capacity of 68.2 million tonnes per year, has set an ambitious goal to transform into a net-zero carbon company by the year 2035.

Nita Ambani took the lead in designing and constructing the township in the late 1990s, with the objective of providing homes for approximately 5,500 families of Reliance employees.

Nita Ambani, ranked as the most powerful woman by Fortune India in 2022, discussed her challenging journey in reshaping Jamnagar with Fortune. She revealed that she and her team had to operate from tin sheds.

Facing scorching temperatures of 42 degrees Celsius with no trees around, the Ambani family undertook the mission to plant saplings across the arid region, which received less than 400 cm of rain, as shared with Fortune. Jamnagar has now developed a flourishing flora and fauna ecosystem, with rainfall doubling since then.
