What’s caught the public eye, however it’s Vidhi’s surprising familial link to the Ambani’s. Vidhi is married to Vivek Salgaocar, son of prominent Goan industrialist Shiv and Ranjana Salgaocar. The Salgaocar family is deeply connected with the Ambani lineage. Seepi Salgaocar, Mukesh and Anil Ambani’s sister is married to Dattaraja Salgaocar, Shiv Salgaocar’s brother. This familial connection places Vidhi within the extended Ambani family circle, adding a fascinating dimension to her already influential profile.
Apart from the executive responsibility, Vidhi Shanghvi is also deeply invested in social causes. Through the non-profit initiatives, she actively advocates for mental health awareness, an issue gaining significant momentum in India. Her leadership extends to Sun Pharma Advanced Research Company (SPARC), where she serves as a non-executive director.
As the daughter is Dilip Shanghvi, one of India’s richest healthcare billionaires with a net worth of $29.9 billion (as of December 2024), Vidhi is not only continuing her father’s legacy but is also craving he own space as a leader and change maker.
