The opening event of the India House was a memorable and unforgettable affair which started with Mrs Nita M Ambani, IOC member and Founder and Chairperson of the Reliance Foundation, lighting a lamp in a traditional Indian ceremony that brings auspiciousness and goodwill. Among the dignitaries present at the opening ceremony were Mr. Ser Miang NG - IOC Committee member, P.T.

A dream to bring India to the Olympics and our shared dream to bring the Olympics to India.” Calling the inaugural India House, a potential tipping point for India, she said, “It is time that the flame, which was first lit in Athens, lights up in our ancient land, India. The day is not far when India will host the Olympic Games. May this be our collective resolve at the opening of the India House.” Touching upon the importance of the India House, Mrs Ambani said, “India House is envisioned as a symbol of India’s Olympic aspirations. We hope it becomes a home away from home for our athletes, a place where we honour them, salute their spirit and celebrate their achievements. India House is not a destination, it’s a new beginning for India.” Extending a warm invitation to everyone in Paris for the Olympics, Mrs Ambani said, “At India House, we welcome the world to experience the beauty, diversity and rich heritage of India right here in the heart of Paris.” The opening ceremony of the India House was headlined by leading Bollywood singer Shaan who had the audience moving, grooving and jiving to his most popular and signature Bollywood tracks that left the crowd wanting more while also getting a true taste of India.

Media Release - Mrs. Nita M. Ambani Re-Elected Unanimously as IOC Member Paris 24th July 2024: Ahead of the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games this weekend, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has today announced that Mrs Nita M. Ambani, leading Indian philanthropist and Founder of the Reliance Foundation has been re-elected unanimously as the IOC from India at the 142nd IOC session in Paris that is currently underway, winning unanimously with 100% of the vote. Speaking after her re-election, Mrs Nita. M. Ambani said “I am deeply honored to be re-elected as a member of the International Olympic Committee. I would like to thank President Bach and all my colleagues in the IOC for their faith and trust in me. This re-election is not just a personal milestone but also a recognition of India's growing influence in the global sporting arena. I share this moment of joy and pride with every Indian and look forward to continuing our efforts to strengthen the Olympic Movement in India and around the world." Nita Ambani was first appointed to join the prestigious body in 2016, at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. Since then, as India’s first woman to join the IOC, Nita Ambani has already made great strides for the association, whilst also championing India’s sporting ambitions and Olympic vision. This includes recently hosting the first IOC session in Mumbai for over 40 years, in October 2023, which was hailed as showcasing the new, ambitious India to the world. As Founder and Chairperson of the Reliance Foundation, Nita Ambani seeks to empower millions of Indians with resources and opportunities. She drives various initiatives across sport, education, health, art and culture – all aimed at improving the lives of people across the country. Reliance Foundation is at the forefront of driving India’s sports growth with its programmes from grassroots to the elite reaching more than 22.9 million children and youth in India since its inception. The organisation is focused on promoting a variety of sports across India, particularly in remote places where access to sport and equipment are not a given. As part of a long-term partnership with the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), Reliance Foundation is opening the first-ever India House at the Paris Olympics 2024 this summer. India House will be a "home away from home" for athletes, a place to celebrate wins, and share India’s Olympic journey with the world. It demonstrates India’s ambitions to become a dominant force in global sports, fostering greater success at the Olympics and charting a course towards hosting the Games in the future.
