While the Ambani family’s immense wealth is widely recognized, fewer are familiar with the family background of Anant Ambani’s future spouse, Radhika Merchant, and her billionaire father, Viren Merchant, whose net worth is estimated at Rs 750 crore.
Radhika Merchant, soon to marry Anant Ambani, is the daughter of Indian billionaire Viren Merchant, a 58-year-old business magnate serving as the CEO of Encore Healthcare Private Limited. In addition to leading Encore Healthcare, Viren Merchant holds directorship positions in several prominent Indian companies, including Encore Business Centre Private Limited, Encore Natural Polymers Private Limited, ZYG Pharma Private Limited, Sai Darshan Business Centres Private Limited, and Encore Polyfrac Products Private Limited.

Viren Merchant’s reported net worth stands at approximately Rs 750 crores, with his wife, Shaila Merchant, also a successful entrepreneur who shares his inclination for privacy and avoids public attention. Together, they founded the global pharmaceutical manufacturer, Encore Healthcare, in 2002.
Radhika Merchant’s own net worth is estimated to be around Rs 10 crore currently. As she prepares to join the family of India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, and become the daughter-in-law of Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani, Radhika Merchant’s educational journey includes receiving an international baccalaureate degree from B.D. Somani International School in Mumbai, followed by a bachelor’s degree in political science from New York University in 2017.
During her time at NYU, Radhika interned at various businesses, including Cedar Consultants in Mumbai, where she served as a business strategy consultant intern, before joining luxury real estate company Isprava. Radhika Merchant reportedly serves on the board of directors at Encore Healthcare, alongside her sister, Anjali, who also holds a directorial position, with their father as CEO and vice-chair, and their mother as managing director.
