Nina Kothari

While Mukesh Ambani is a household name in the global business world, his sister, Nina Kothari, prefers to stay out of the spotlight. Nina has built a successful entrepreneurial career of her own, serving as the owner of Kothari Petrochemicals and the chairperson of Kothari Sugars and Chemicals Limited. Her journey began in 2003 when she launched Javagreen, a coffee and food franchise that gained notable success. Despite her brother’s prominence, Nina has focused on growing her businesses quietly, choosing to let her accomplishments speak for themselves rather than seek public recognition.

She held various positions in prestigious institutions such as Treasurer of Crafts Council of India, World Crafts Council, and Chairman of the National Crafts & Heritage Committee of ASSOCHAM. During 2006–07, she was the President of the International Womens’ Association (IWA). She has contributed more in the areas for the upliftment of women in India.
