Nita Ambani has expressed strong optimism about India’s chances of hosting the Olympic Games, stating that the country is making steady progress toward securing the 2036 edition.

According to her, India’s growing global influence, combined with its expanding sports infrastructure, places it in a strong position to stage one of the world’s biggest sporting events. She noted that despite being one of the largest and most dynamic nations globally, India has never hosted the Olympics—a gap she believes the country is now ready to close.

Ambani highlighted ongoing efforts to strengthen facilities, develop talent, and align with international standards set by the International Olympic Committee. She also pointed to increasing collaboration between the government and private sector as a key driver behind the bid.

India’s push for the 2036 Games is part of a broader vision to elevate its status in global sports. Ambani described the Olympic ambition as more than just hosting an event, calling it an opportunity to inspire young athletes and build a lasting sporting culture across the nation.

While the race to host the Olympics remains competitive, she remains confident that India’s momentum, planning, and ambition could make the dream a reality in the coming years.
