Under his leadership, the company has grown across various sectors of industries ranging from petrochemicals to retail, telecommunications, and digital services, with a firm footing both domestically and internationally. However, a conglomerate of this magnitude and complexity does not operate in isolation. The company relies on a devoted, competent, loyal, and experienced team of professionals who are committed to executing the company's overarching vision. Meet Mukesh Ambani's right hand! Prakash Shah, a confidant of Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, has discarded worldly existence for a spiritual pursuit. He left his prestigious job, enjoying a salary of Rs 75 crore, to take sannyas (renunciation). Shah was a Vice President at Reliance Industries and was considered Mukesh Ambani's right-hand man. Prakash Shah retired at the age of 63, and he entered spiritual life (through Diksha) shortly afterward. On the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti, he and his wife, Naina Shah, were formally Dikshad. He had always wanted to leave behind worldly life and was only waiting for the COVID-19 pandemic to end. Diksha is a spiritual initiation, where a person chooses to live a simple but disciplined life by striving to conduct oneself according to 'right' (righteous) deeds, with the hope of achieving liberation (moksha). Prakash Shah Educational Qualification Prakash Shah is a Chemical Engineer and completed his post-graduation from IIT Bombay. His wife is a graduate in commerce. The couple has 2 sons; one of them took Diksha a few years back, and the other is married with one child. At Reliance Industries, Prakash Shah managed several very large projects and made significant contributions to large projects, especially the Jamnagar Petcoke Gasification Project and Petcoke Marketing, for which he was fully accountable. Media reports indicate that, at the time of his retirement, Shah was on an annual salary of Rs 75 crore. Prakash Shah's Astonishing Salary! According to media reports, at the time of his retirement, Prakash Shah was earning an annual salary of Rs 75 crore.

He has forsaken material comforts for the sake of and in pursuit of a path of inner peace and spiritual emancipation. He is now a monk, barefoot, wearing plain white clothes, and living on alms. His name, Prakash Shah, is now 64 years old. Prakash's Diksha was in its entirety in Borivali, Mumbai. Ironically, his son began the spiritual path six years ago, when he took Diksha, he was given the name Bhuvan Jeet Maharaj. Recalling his longstanding wish to become a sannyasi, Prakash Shah said, 'Since childhood, I had a desire to take initiation. The spiritual bliss and mental peace derived from it are incomparable.'
