Agnivesh Agarwal, son of Vedanta Group Chairman Anil Agarwal, died in America on Wednesday (January 7, 2026). He was 49 years old. Agnivesh was on the board of directors of Talwandi Sabo Power Limited (TSPL), a Vedanta group company. He was recovering from an illness at the time of his death. Agnivesh Aggarwal’s father Anil Aggarwal has shared this information by sharing a post on social media platform X. He said that today is the darkest day of my life. My beloved son Agnivesh left us very soon.
Anil Aggarwal said that Agnivesh was only 49 years old. Absolutely healthy, full of life and full of dreams. He said that he was undergoing treatment at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York after an accident while skiing in America and was recovering well. We thought the worst was over, but fate had other plans and a sudden heart attack took away our son from us.
He said that no words can express the pain that a parent feels when they have to say goodbye to their own child forever. A son should not go before his father. This loss has broken us in ways we don’t even fully understand yet.

Remembering his son, Vedanta Group Chairman Anil Aggarwal said, ‘I still remember the day when Agni was born on June 3, 1976 in Patna. Born in a middle-class family in Bihar, my son grew up to be a man full of strength, compassion and purpose. Son, I am missing every moment spent with you today. His mother’s beloved Agni was very playful and mischievous in his childhood. He was most protective of his sister Priya. He was a friend of friends, always laughing and smiling.
Anil Aggarwal made a promise to his son
Anil Aggarwal said, ‘Both of us had a dream that no child should sleep hungry in our country, no child should be deprived of education, every woman should stand on her own feet and every youth of the country should get employment. I had promised Agni that we would return more than 75% of what we earn to the society. Today I repeat that promise again and resolve to live a simple life.
