It all started when Shradha Sharma asked Akash Ambani, “How does it feel to be in IIT Mumbai?” Akash Ambani then expressed his excitement about being at the prestigious engineering college.
“To be at IIT Bombay is part of my bucket list. My father always wanted me to be an engineer. Full disclaimer, I am not an engineer. To be invited to an engineering college of such stature is an honour,” Akash Ambani began.
He added how his father reacted to him speaking at IIT Bombay. “In fact, my father did not believe that I was going to come here and speak, so he sent my wife Shloka, who is kind enough to be a witness.”
Rohit Bansal, Group-level Leader at Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), shared a video of Akash speaking at IIT Bombay Techfest with the caption, “Lighter note — what do you think Mukesh Ambani did when his son, Akash Ambani, chairman Jio, told him that he’s been invited to speak at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.”
