Ambanis Attend Exclusive Dinner with Trump Family
Before the inauguration, the Ambanis attended an exclusive “candlelit dinner” with Trump on January 18, 2025. The intimate dinner, which had around 100 guests, included high-profile figures, including Vice President-elect JD Vance and his wife Usha. Sources indicate that the Ambanis were possibly the only Indian guests at this private event.
Close Ties Between the Ambanis and the Trump Family
Mukesh Ambani and the Trump family share a strong relationship. Ambani was present when Ivanka Trump, daughter of Donald Trump, visited Hyderabad for the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in 2017. He also met with President Trump during his visit to India in February 2020. The Ambanis have reciprocated Trump family visits, with Ivanka and her family attending the pre-wedding celebrations of the Ambanis’ youngest son Anant and his fiancée Radhika Merchant in March 2024.
Ivanka Trump, alongside her husband Jared Kushner, posted images from the vibrant celebrations in India, showcasing their traditional Indian attire and experiences during the three-day event.
Ambanis’ Personal Invitation for the Inauguration
Unlike many wealthy donors who have pledged up to $1 million to attend the inauguration and receive VIP treatment, the Ambanis have been personally invited by the Trump family to be part of the ceremony. The personal invitation underscores the close bond between the two families.
Star-Studded Guest List Expected at the Ceremony
Trump’s second inauguration is set to be a star-studded event, with key political figures such as President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton expected to attend.
Tech Industry Heavyweights at the Inauguration
The inauguration is also likely to see some of the world’s most influential tech moguls, including Elon Musk (Tesla), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Tim Cook (Apple), and Mark Zuckerberg (Meta). These tech executives, along with others such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Uber CEO Dara Khosrow Shahi, have reportedly contributed significant amounts to Trump’s inaugural fund. These contributions highlight the tech sector’s interest in the policies of Trump’s second term, particularly regarding tax policy, trade, and antitrust matters.
