Nita Ambani in a Kanjivaram saree from Swadesh with hand-painted Tanjore artwork by Manish Malhotra

Nita Ambani received the global AAPI Humanitarian Award in Florida.

Weaver: The core royal purple silk saree was handwoven by National Award-winning master artisan Shri B. Krishnamurthy under Reliance's Swadesh Online initiative.

Designer: Manish Malhotra then elevated the custom weave by designing and executing the hand-painted Tanjore-inspired artwork on the border and blouse.

Stylist: Manish Malhotra also serves as the creative director for Mrs. Ambani's major cultural heritage looks, curating the entire ensemble. He paired the custom garment with her traditional 18th-century heritage Indian jewelry, specific hair styling, and drape direction to complete the look for the global stage.
