New Delhi, Nov 16 (PTI) Jio Financial Services on Thursday said the Reserve Bank has granted prior approval to appoint Isha Mukesh Ambani and two others as directors of the Reliance Industries' NBFC firm.

'We wish to inform you that the RBI vide letter dated November 15, 2023, has accorded its approval for the appointment of Isha Mukesh Ambani, Anshuman Thakur and Hitesh Kumar Sethia as directors of the company,' Jio Financial said in a regulatory filing.

The company received the RBI approval letter on November 15, 2023, it said.

Jio Financial Services, with a net worth of Rs 1.2 lakh crore, is one of the world's highest-capitalised financial services platforms at inception.
