Meet man, Mukesh Ambani's 'right hand' who quit top post at Reliance with Rs 750000000 salary to become monk, his name is...
Meet man, Mukesh Ambani's 'right hand' who quit top post at Reliance with Rs 750000000 salary to become monk, his name is... Prakash Shah was once a top officer at Reliance Industries and a close and trusted aide of Mukesh Ambani. He lived a life filled with success, respect, and luxury. As Vice President of Reliance's Project Division, he was part of many big projects, including the Jamnagar Petcoke Gasification Project. He reportedly earned around Rs. 75 crore every year. But after many years in the corporate world, Prakash Shah made a surprising and bold choice – he decided to give up all his wealth and comforts to follow a spiritual path. A strong educational and career foundation Prakash Shah completed his graduation in Chemical Engineering and then went on to do his post-graduation from IIT Bombay. His strong technical skills and leadership abilities helped him grow quickly at Reliance Industries. He worked closely with Mukesh Ambani for several years and played a key role in the company's success. His wife, Naina Shah, is also well-educated and holds a degree in Commerce. A family rooted in values Prakash Shah has two sons. One of them had already taken diksha (a spiritual vow of renunciation) earlier. His second son is married and has a child. For a long time, Prakash had been planning to take diksha himself. However, his spiritual journey was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Taking diksha with his wife Finally, on the day of Mahavir Jayanti, Prakash Shah and his wife Naina Shah took diksha together. In Jainism and other spiritual traditions, diksha is a deep and serious vow which means letting go of all worldly attachments to follow the path of inner peace and freedom (moksha). Today, Prakash Shah's life is completely transformed. He walks barefoot, wears plain white clothes, and lives by begging for food. He has left behind every comfort and luxury, choosing instead a life focused fully on spiritual growth and simplicity.

Sensex, Nifty gain 1.3% on RBI norms, Trump's pause on Iran strike
Domestic markets rose on Friday, propelled by gains in banking and other heavyweights, after the relaxation of project finance regulations. US President Donald Trump's announcement that he would take two weeks to decide whether to intervene directly in the Iran–Israel conflict provided some relief to investors. The benchmark Sensex closed at 82,408 on Friday, up 1,046 points or 1.3 per cent. The Nifty also ended the session at 25,112, gaining 319 points or 1.3 per cent. HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, Bharti Airtel and ICICI Bank accounted for over half of the index gains. Both the Sensex and the Nifty rose 1.6 per cent over the week. The total market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies increased by ₹5 trillion, reaching ₹448 trillion. The final project finance norms will take effect from October 1, 2025. The Nifty Bank index increased by 1.2 per cent. Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) were buyers to the tune of nearly ₹8,000 crore, while domestic investors pulled out ₹3,050 crore. Institutional investor activity was higher than usual due to adjustments related to the latest rebalancing of BSE and FTSE indices. Passive funds tracking the Sensex index had to sell Nestlé and IndusInd Bank, which will be excluded from the index from Monday. On the other hand, they bought new entrants Trent and Bharat Electronics. Other Sensex components also saw changes due to weight adjustments. Meanwhile, the White House's statement on Iran eased concerns about US involvement in the Middle East conflict. In a dictated message on Thursday, President Trump said there was a significant chance of negotiations with Iran, which may or may not happen soon, and that he would decide whether to join Israel's strikes against Iran within the next two weeks. Trump's latest statement is seen as a step back from earlier harsh rhetoric. Israel has continued to attack Iran's nuclear sites and has warned of overthrowing Tehran's leadership, while Iran maintains its stance of no negotiations with the US as long as Israel's assault continues. The Brent crude price fell by 3 per cent and was trading at $75.7 on Friday. However, in June, crude prices had risen by 21 per cent. Gold declined by 0.7 per cent and was trading at $3,348. It fell by 2.4 per cent during the week. 'Equity indices surged as Middle East tensions eased, with the risk of immediate military action reduced due to expected US dialogue with Iran. This development led to a correction in crude prices, favouring domestic markets and boosting foreign investors' sentiment,' said Vinod Nair, head of research at Geojit Financial Services. The market breadth was strong, with 2,463 stocks advancing and 1,484 declining. Moving forward, the trajectory of the Middle East conflict and US trade policy will determine the market's direction. 'The outlook remains positive, and a decisive move above 25,200 on the Nifty would signal the end of the ongoing five-week consolidation phase and pave the way for the 25,600–25,800 zone. In the absence of any major domestic events, global markets will continue to guide sentiment,' said Ajit Mishra, senior vice-president, research, at Religare Broking.
