Anand Piramal, Executive Director of the Piramal Group of Companies and son-in-law of Mukesh Ambani, maintains a relatively low media presence despite his significant role in the family empire. As the son of Ajay Piramal, Anand plays a critical role in managing the conglomerate’s financial services division.
The Piramal Group, one of India’s most respected and diversified NBFCs, has expanded into affordable home lending, construction finance, SME lending, and digital embedded finance under Anand’s leadership. He also oversees the company’s Alternatives business, collaborating with various financial institutions.
While Anand Piramal’s net worth in 2022 is not publicly known, his father, Ajay Piramal, boasts a net worth of approximately USD 310 million (Rs 25,596 crore). Born on October 25, 1985, Anand earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania and later completed a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Harvard Business School. His leadership qualities were evident early on when he became the youngest president of the Youth Wing of the 100-year-old Indian Merchant Chambers. In 2017, he was honored with the Hurun Real Estate Unicorn of the Year Award by Hurun India.
Besides his responsibilities in financial services, Anand manages Piramal Realty, the group’s real estate arm, which operates mainly in Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi, Byculla, Thane, Mulund, Kurla, Lower Parel, and Worli areas. He also founded Piramal eSwasthya, a rural healthcare startup.
Anand married Isha Ambani in December 2018 in a lavish ceremony at the Ambani residence, Antilia. The couple moved into a luxurious mansion in Bandra, Mumbai, called Gulita, a gift from the Piramal family. Valued at over Rs 452 crore, Gulita features high-ceilinged rooms with grand chandeliers, a private swimming pool, a three-story basement parking area, a diamond room, multiple dining spaces, and a magnificent temple. The mansion also includes indoor elevators, comprehensive security, separate office spaces, and a salon managed by reputed makeup artists.
The couple also owned a luxury 12-bedroom mansion in Los Angeles, reportedly sold to American singer Jennifer Lopez and her partner Ben Affleck for Rs 500 crore. This impressive 38,000-square-foot residence featured spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, separate gyms, spas, salons, and even an indoor badminton court.
