He was associated with a 140-kilometre padyatra in Gujarat, between Jamnagar and Dwarka, which passed through several towns and drew participation from local communities.

Public welfare measures were implemented during the Maha Kumbh, one of the world’s largest religious gatherings. Arrangements focused on managing the influx of pilgrims, including safety protocols, essential services, and access coordination. The measures reflected organised planning and operational management for high-footfall events.


Vantara, a wildlife conservation and rehabilitation initiative, received national recognition in 2025 and was inaugurated by the Prime Minister. The initiative aims to strengthen wildlife care, rehabilitation, and conservation infrastructure. Throughout the year, Vantara also drew attention from several international figures who visited the facility to gain firsthand insight into India’s conservation practices and sustainability models.

In parallel, Anant Ambani expanded his leadership responsibilities as Executive Director of Reliance Industries Ltd, reflecting ongoing organisational developments within one of India’s largest conglomerates. The year highlighted a convergence between institutional leadership and involvement in social and environmental initiatives, demonstrating the multifaceted ways in which service and stewardship can be operationalised.
