In a series of commitments to the people of Gujarat, Ambani announced Reliance's role in driving green growth in the state.

The head of one of the largest business groups in the world also envisioned a $35 trillion Indian economy by 2047 and a $3 trillion Gujarat economy, firmly believing in the unstoppable momentum of progress and development.

Ambani also revealed that Reliance and Reliance Foundation, in collaboration with various partners in Gujarat, will collectively enhance educational, sports, and skills infrastructure to nurture future champions across various Olympic sports.

This is in line with Modi's vision for India to bid for the 2036 Olympics, he added.
