On July 12, at the Jio World Convention Centre in BKC, Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Reliance Industries Ltd. Chairman Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant, the daughter of Viren Merchant, will tie the knot.
Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani’s wedding: Employees in a number of offices at the upscale Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai have been told to work remotely through July 15.
This decision is the result of access restrictions and traffic detours brought about by Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s impending nuptials. On July 12 at the Jio World Convention Centre in BKC, Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Reliance Industries Ltd. Chairman Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant, the daughter of Viren Merchant, will tie the knot. The celebration will last until July 14.
Mumbai office professionals and locals alike are annoyed and frustrated by the ostentatious celebrations. From July 12 to July 15, there will be traffic restrictions in the vicinity of the wedding location, which is located in Mumbai’s thriving financial district—the Bandra Kurla Complex.
The main stock exchange of India, the market regulator, and several foreign banks are located in this region.
There has been a noticeable increase in hotel reservations and rates in Mumbai due to the Ambani-Mercant wedding. Up to ₹1 lakh is allegedly charged by opulent hotels in BKC, with events like Trident and Oberoi completely booked from July 10 to 14.

One of the pre-wedding ceremonies that took place earlier was a traditional Gujarati pre-wedding ritual called’mameru’ ceremony, which was arranged by the Ambani family on July 3. On July 7, a grandiose sangeet ceremony marked the peak of the festivities. Justin Bieber, the global pop sensation, performed for the guests, wowing them with tunes like “Baby,” “Peaches,” and “Love Yourself.”
