"I'm a passionate Indian," Nita Ambani is fond of saying. She has channeled that passion into an ever-expanding array of initiatives, activities, and institutions that are as humanitarian as they are patriotic. Ambani, among other things, is the first Indian to be appointed an honorary trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, and she has sponsored exhibitions there and at the Art Institute of Chicago. She developed India’s professional soccer league and is the first Indian woman to be elected to the International Olympic Committee. She owns the Mumbai Indians, the most successful cricket team in the Indian Premier League. She founded an international school and a nonprofit hospital in Mumbai, each considered the best of its kind in India. Many of these projects, and countless more, fall under the aegis of the Reliance Foundation, which Ambani established in 2010. It is a broad philanthropic effort that has touched millions of lives. Under Ambani’s leadership the foundation has been engaged in everything from rescuing Indian elephants to cultivating world class athletes to fighting the coronavirus pandemic. This month it will unveil what is billed as India’s top cultural and performing arts facility, the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, in the Bandra Kurla Complex district of Mumbai.

NOW YOU SEE HER
Bertha Russell would be so disappointed. When Carrie Coon, who plays the calculating social climber on The Gilded Age, sits down at the Regency Bar & Grill, just a few blocks and about 140 years from the fictional mansion where her character resides, it's the tail end of the restaurant's infamous power breakfast—a crucial error in timing for anyone hoping to rub elbows with New York City's ruling class.
