Nita Ambani Re-elected as IOC Member, Boosting India's Olympic Ambitions

Ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has unanimously re-elected Nita M. Ambani as the IOC member from India. This marks a significant milestone for India's growing influence in the global sporting arena.

Nita Ambani, the leading Indian philanthropist and Founder of the Reliance Foundation, was first appointed to the IOC in 2016. Since then, she has played a pivotal role in strengthening the Olympic Movement in India and worldwide.

As India's first woman to join the IOC, Ambani has championed India's sporting ambitions and Olympic vision. She recently hosted the first IOC session in Mumbai in over 40 years, showcasing India's transformation and aspirations to the world.

Through the Reliance Foundation, Ambani empowers millions of Indians with resources and opportunities. Her initiatives span sport, education, health, art, and culture, aiming to improve lives across the country.

Reliance Foundation is at the forefront of driving India's sports growth. Its programs reach over 22.9 million children and youth, promoting a variety of sports, especially in remote areas.

As part of a partnership with the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), Reliance Foundation will open the first-ever India House at the Paris Olympics 2024. This "home away from home" for athletes will celebrate India's Olympic journey and demonstrate its ambitions to become a global sports powerhouse.

Ambani's re-election to the IOC is a testament to her dedication to the Olympic Movement and her unwavering commitment to promoting sports in India. It also reflects India's growing stature in the international sporting community.
