Nita Ambani, Founder and Chair of Reliance Foundation, has been presented the 2023 USISPF Global Leadership Award for Philanthropy and Corporate Social Responsibility. The honor was conferred by John Chambers, the Chairman of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum at a reception in New Delhi on October 29 at an event attended by USISPF Board Members, business laders and officials of the government of India.
“ I accept this award with humility and gratitude, on behalf of my entire team. I represent the beating heart of Reliance, our beacon of hope and empowerment – Reliance Foundation, through which we have touched the lives of over 71 million people. At Reliance, doing good and giving back has always been a way of life. Long before CSR became a norm, Reliance has been fulfilling our CMR, our Corporate Moral Responsibility. It has now transformed into our philosophy of WE CARE. We care for the planet. We care for humanity. And we care for our nation”, Ambani said in accepting the award.
Ambani also went on to commend the work of the USISPF saying that it has been a “strong bridge” in deepening the natural bonds between India and the United States. “In just over six years, the Forum has strengthened people to people and business to business ties between India and US”, she said.
Chairman of the USISPF Chambers said, “One of the most important awards that an organization can give is for social responsibility and philanthropy. It’s so important for people who have been successful in life to give back and create platforms for others to succeed. One such person is Nita M. Ambani, who epitomizes this example of altruism and through her work in Reliance Foundation has been exemplary in the fields of arts, sports, culture, and education.”
“We are delighted to award Nita M. Ambani for her tireless efforts to enrich the lives of many Indians. Nita M. Ambani is someone who believes that the work is never done and that there is so much more left to accomplish. At a time of hard power globally, she has shown us the reach and impact of soft power, especially in preserving and promoting India’s rich tapestry of arts and showing us that sports is a vital tool in nation-building”, said USISPF President and CEO, Dr. Mukesh Aghi who commenced and later closed proceedings.
