Reliance Family Day is an annual celebration held on 28 December to commemorate the birth anniversary of Reliance founder Shri Dhirubhai Ambani. Observed across the Reliance ecosystem, the day honours his enduring legacy of entrepreneurship, nation building and people-first values. Marked by large-scale cultural programmes, employee participation and storytelling-led experiences, Reliance Family Day brings together Reliance’s extended family to celebrate shared purpose, collective pride and the principles that continue to guide the organisation’s growth.
For the 2025 edition, Jio Creative Labs was responsible for shaping the overarching narrative, creative framework and show flow, translating a complex brief into a cohesive, emotionally engaging live experience. The focus was on building a format that felt participatory and values driven rather than a conventional corporate showcase.
Hosted by Gaurav Khanna, the event followed a deliberate narrative rhythm that integrated music, performance, humour and large-scale participation. Performances were conceived as storytelling tools rather than standalone acts, allowing the evening to unfold as one continuous journey rooted in family, legacy and collective pride.
Key creative highlights included a Panch Tatva inspired dance performance by Priyank Sharma that interpreted Reliance’s connection with the five elements, an act by Avinash Mishra conceived as a reflective ode to the year 2025, and a high-energy, action-packed segment featuring Riteish Deshmukh performing alongside the Vantara K9 unit, combining spectacle with purpose. Adding to the scale and authenticity of the production, Vantara’s domesticated animals and their dedicated handlers were woven into the the show, reflecting discipline, care and coordination.
Music led by Shankar Mahadevan anchored the emotional arc of the evening, while comedy segments by Kiku Sharda and Sanket Bhosale, children’s performances and widespread employee participation ensured a balanced experience across age groups and sensibilities. A standout moment of the evening was the Swadesh x Vantara fashion showcase, which celebrated Indian artisanship and sustainability, with Nitanshi Goel walking the ramp as the showstopper.
In parallel, Jio Creative Labs also led the conceptualisation and execution of the Global Peace Honours in 2025, a globally oriented platform that brought together international dignitaries, thought leaders and cultural figures. The programme required a distinctly different creative approach, demanding precision storytelling, diplomatic sensitivity and global-scale production.
Speaking about the year, Aditya Bhat said, “At Jio Creative Labs, our intent is always to build experiences that go beyond scale and spectacle. With Reliance Family Day and the Global Peace Honours, the focus was on storytelling that feels authentic, emotionally resonant and rooted in purpose. These platforms allowed us to celebrate legacy, people and values while speaking to audiences at very different scales.”
Together, Reliance Family Day and the Global Peace Honours showcased Jio Creative Labs’ creative range, spanning mass cultural celebration and globally nuanced honour platforms, and reinforcing its ability to deliver complex, purpose-led experiences at scale.
