The president and CEO of Reliance Brands Limited, the biggest player in the lifestyle and luxury market in India, is heading to Robb Report Hong Kong’s first summit.
Robb Report Hong Kong is delighted to announce that Darshan Mehta, the president and CEO of Reliance Brands Limited (RBL), a subsidiary of US$125 billion market-cap company and India’s largest conglomerate Reliance Industries Limited, is joining the highly anticipated Leaders of Luxury Summit 2024 as our opening keynote spotlight speaker.
In the dynamic landscape of luxury retail, few figures stand as prominently as Darshan Mehta. As part of the vast portfolio owned by the Ambani family—the wealthiest in Asia and the 9th wealthiest in the world, as per Forbes—there’s little the family company can do without causing ripples across the nation.
At the helm of one of India’s foremost luxury retail companies, Mehta has been instrumental in redefining the contours of the luxury market in the country, melding global brands with local sensibilities while maintaining the essence of exclusivity. Famously, Mehta has stated that he doesn’t like the word “luxury” and its connotations, and prefers to eschew it to embrace “the finer things in life.” He casts a wide net with that phrase, for it could mean something as simple as bringing franchise food chain Pret a Manger to India, or the finest fashion from Ferragamo. Mono brands, global brands, designer brands, jewellery—he has overseen partnerships that have elevated the fashion stakes in India.
