He was rushed to Fortis Hospital upon his arrival in Delhi, where he underwent angioplasty. He was then transferred to Medanta Hospital in Gurugram.
He continued to be in intensive care until his death around 5 a.m. Monday, they said.
He is survived by his wife Parul Sharma and daughter Preetika.
Jesudasan, or TJ as his friends called him, turned 71 while at Fortis. He was president of the corporate communications and corporate affairs group of R-ADAG.
An MBA graduate from FMS, Delhi, he was invited by Dhirubhai Ambani to join the then undivided Reliance in 1990. After Dhirubhai’s death, he opted to join the younger brother when brothers Mukesh and Anil separated. He remained Anil Ambani’s trusted lieutenant in Delhi and was his main troubleshooter.
Jesudasan had the rare ability to think and function calmly under great pressure and had longstanding relationships with the entire political, business and media spectrum.
