Nita Ambani Champions India’s Cultural Diplomacy at WAVES 2025 Summit

At the prestigious WAVES 2025 Summit, Mrs. Nita Ambani, Chairperson of Reliance Foundation, delivered a compelling keynote address titled “Taking Indian Culture to the World.” Her speech highlighted India’s expanding global cultural presence, rooted in its rich artistic and spiritual traditions.

Speaking to a diverse international audience, Mrs. Ambani celebrated the profound legacy of Indian culture. She pointed to music, cinema, fashion, art, and philosophy as emerging global bridges, connecting people across borders through shared values and creativity. She described India’s soft power as a defining influence in the 21st century, noting its growing role in shaping a more inclusive, purposeful, and value-based world.

“In a world racing towards AI—Artificial Intelligence—let us not lose the wisdom of the original AI: Ancient Intelligence,” she remarked. “Imagine a world where innovation meets intuition. Where data is guided by Dharma, and where progress is driven not just by power but purpose.”

A passionate advocate of cultural diplomacy, Mrs. Ambani also highlighted the transformative work of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) and emphasized the importance of international collaborations. These efforts, she said, have helped elevate Indian heritage onto the global stage.

Her address was both a celebration of India’s timeless cultural essence and a visionary call to harmonize tradition with modern innovation. Through her message, Mrs. Ambani offered a future-forward perspective — one where technological progress and ancient wisdom work hand in hand to serve humanity.
