MUMBAI: Reliance ADA Group chairman Anil Ambani has been voted as the happiest and healthiest person in business in the recently concluded study by Complete Wellbeing magazine.

The survey was conducted by global market research company Synovate, to find out India's healthiest and happiest people.

The survey gives an insight into who Indians feel are the healthiest and happiest people in the world of business, entertainment, politics and sports.

47 per cent chose Anil Ambani as the happiest person. He was closely followed by 72-year-old Ratan Tata (36 per cent) and brother Mukesh Ambani (35 per cent)

Two foreign business magnates who've had a deep impact on many Indians and have made it to the survey are Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.

Anil Ambani was also chosen as the healthiest person in Business. He has apparently caught the attention of the entire nation with his early morning marathon run and his battle against the bulge.

More than half the respondents of the survey - 53 per cent all over - have voted for him as the health icon and an inspiring leader.

Tata and Mukesh Ambani feature second and third with 46 and 40 per cent votes respectively. Interestingly, one of the most dynamic and exemplary businessman of India, Aditya Birla, who died in 1983, is still perceived by a good number of people to have been one of the fittest in the world of corporate finance.

Sudha Murthy is the only woman followed by Ekta Kapoor among the chosen top 20 healthy business leaders.

The survey was conducted across eight major cities in India among a broad age group of 25 to 45 years old.
