Economics Graduate, Bharatnatyam Dancer, And Businesswoman: A Closer Look At Radhika Merchant

Radhika Merchant, a trained Bharatnatyam dancer under Guru Bhavan Thakar of Shree Nibha Arts dance academy, is currently in the spotlight. The bride-to-be of Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani and philanthropist Nita Ambani, has been making headlines for her stylish appearances and radiant smile during pre-wedding festivities.

Radhika is the youngest daughter of Viren Merchant, CEO of Encore Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., and entrepreneur Shaila Merchant. She holds a degree in political science and economics from New York University and serves as a Director at Encore Healthcare Private Limited.

In addition to her business acumen, Radhika is a skilled Bharatnatyam dancer. Her ‘arangetram’ or ‘ascent to the stage’ in 2022 was a grand event attended by both the Ambani and Merchant families, as well as friends from the business, arts, and entertainment sectors.

Radhika will be the second Bharatnatyam exponent in the Ambani family, following Nita Ambani, who continues to perform despite her extensive responsibilities.

Anant and Radhika got engaged in a traditional ceremony in January 2023 at Antilia, the Ambani residence in Mumbai. They are set to marry on July 12 this year after a series of vibrant pre-wedding celebrations.

The wedding promises to be a significant event with a diverse attendance, symbolizing India’s growing global stature. Current and former political leaders, both domestic and international, will join top business figures from Fortune 500 companies, reflecting India’s increasing political and economic influence. The presence of leading global investors highlights the confidence in India’s future.

Moreover, the event will host esteemed academics, inventors, innovators, and doctors, emphasizing the Ambanis’ commitment to fostering intellectual and scientific ties. The varied guest list underscores the family’s dedication to cultivating deep, inclusive, and meaningful relationships.
