New Delhi: Whenever you mention or hear the surname Ambani, the mind goes straightaway to Mukesh Ambani, the Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, and that too for a valid reason. With a net worth of $101.9 billion, Mukesh Ambani is the richest person in Asia.
Naturally, whatever he and his family do, make news.
Mukesh’s younger brother Anil Ambani has also made a mark for himself in the industry. Not many people know that these two brothers are blessed with a sister, Nina Kothari, who herself is a businesswoman and has a huge net worth just like her brothers.
Nina Kothari is the Chairperson of Kothari Sugars and Chemicals Limited who has built up her business empire and has carved a niche for herself in the field of business, just like her brothers.
Nina Ambani got married to Bhadrashyam Kothari, a businessman in 1986. Bhadrashyam Kothari lost his life to cancer in 2015. Nina took over the family business and became the chairperson of Kothari Sugars and Chemicals Ltd.
Much before that, she demonstrated her entrepreneurial skills in 2003 when she launched the Javagreen coffee chain, but it closed down after a short period. Subsequently, Nina expanded the Kothari Group by adding two more companies: Kothari Petrochemicals and Kothari Safe Deposit Ltd.
Nina and her late husband Bhadrashyam Kothari have two children. The elder one is Arjun Kothari, their son who is the Managing Director of Kothari Sugars and Chemicals Limited. Arjun helps his mother in her businesses. Nina has a daughter named Nayantara, who is married to Shamit Bhartia, son of Shyam and Shobhana Bhartia, and grandson of KK Birla.
Nina Kothari took over as the Chairperson of Kothari Sugars and Chemicals Limited on April 8, 2015. This proved to be a turning point in her life as she led the business to great heights with her entrepreneur skills and acumen combined with determination to prove herself.
Her achievements and immense contribution to the success of the HC Kothari Group established her as a significant player.
Nina is the proud owner of a massive net worth said to be in millions of dollars.
She has a younger sister Deepti Salgaocar, the youngest child of Dhirubhai Ambani.
