The Reliance Group has announced the appointment of Parul Sharma as Group President with effect from June, 20, 2023. With her extensive expertise as a global communications strategist, she will drive the Group forward, ensuring the continuation of Tony Jesudasan’s remarkable legacy.
Tony Jesudasan, who served as the face of the Reliance Group for almost four decades and its influential representative in Delhi and worldwide, passed away in February 2023.
Welcoming Parul to the Reliance Group, Anil Ambani said, “I am pleased that Parul is joining us as Group President. While this is her first professional association with the Group, she has for long been a part of the broader Reliance family as Tony’s partner. Our memories of Tony and what he meant for the Group makes Parul’s entry all the more special.”
Parul Sharma steered the communications strategy for Rupert Murdoch’s ‘Star India’ for 15 years, shaping its corporate image, publicity and relationships. Prior to that, she was with the German broadcaster ‘Deutsche Welle’, based in Cologne. She will be based in New Delhi.
“Stepping in Tony’s shoes is not the easiest thing to do but he would be pleased to see me try,” said Parul Sharma. “Besides my experience with global media outlets, I hope to blend empathy and humanism in my stakeholder management. This is a transformative journey for Reliance Group that seeks to uphold the enduring spirit of the past.”
