Expressing his delight on this development, Dr. Narinder Dhruv Batra, President, Hockey India said, “Mrs. Nita Ambani's dedication and passion for development of sport is laudable and that’s exactly why she fully deserves the membership to represent India at the International Olympic Committee,” said Dr. Batra.

The International Olympic Committee is the supreme authority of the Olympic Movement. It acts as a catalyst for collaboration between all parties of the Olympic family, from the National Olympic Committees (NOCs), the International Sports Federations (IFs), the athletes, the Organising Committees for the Olympic Games (OCOGs), to partners and United Nations agencies.
