IN HER ELEMENT
VOGUE India|July - August 2024
Her family needs little introduction. But as someone who prefers to keep to herself and let her work do the talking, there is, in fact, a lot to be discovered about Isha Ambani Piramal
SADAF SHAIKH.
IN HER ELEMENT

After weeks of inclement weather, the clouds have parted in London. It appears as though the sun’s rays have unanimously agreed to converge on the 300 acres of Stoke Park. Illuminated by nature’s spotlight, Sasha poses in front of a hedge brimming with rhododendrons under the watchful eye of celebrity stylist Law Roach. When Law tells Sasha to angle her face a certain way, she does. When Law pairs Hunter rain boots with Loewe autumn/ winter 2024 on Sasha, she happily obliges. When the hairstylist teases Sasha’s hair into a big halo of curls, she remains unperturbed. Even though Stoke Park is buzzing with the kind of activity to be expected from a Vogue cover shoot, Sasha seems to have found calm in the eye of the storm.

When I chat with her over Zoom a week later, Law’s spell has worn off. Sasha’s hair has reverted to its blow-dried default and the runway fashion has been exchanged for a pink sweatshirt. Now, she is once again Isha Ambani Piramal, heiress, business magnate and member of the executive leadership teams at Reliance Retail, Reliance Foundation and Dhirubhai Ambani International School, in addition to occupying pivotal roles in a panoply of family-founded companies.
