Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani and his wife, Nita Ambani, will be among the distinguished guests at the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C. The couple, one of India’s wealthiest and most influential, will take their place on the platform alongside other high-profile figures, including Trump’s Cabinet nominees and elected officials, as per reports.
The Ambanis will arrive in the U.S. capital on January 18, ahead of the inauguration. The events surrounding the inauguration will kick off with a reception and a fireworks display at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, scheduled for the evening of January 19.
On the eve of the inauguration, Donald Trump is expected to host a “candlelight dinner” for Mukesh and Nita Ambani, and they will meet Vice President-elect JD and Usha Vance. This intimate gathering will set the stage for the formal inauguration ceremony the following day.
The inauguration is expected to see global business tycoons, including tech moguls like Elon Musk, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, attend, along with the Ambanis. Additionally, French billionaire Xavier Niel and his wife will also be in attendance. The high-profile nature of this event makes it one of the most anticipated political and social gatherings of the year.
Mukesh Ambani, recognized as the richest person in India and Asia, leads one of the most powerful conglomerates in the world. His business empire spans industries such as oil and gas, telecommunications, retail, and entertainment. His family’s high-profile public appearances have made them key figures in both business and global diplomacy.
In addition to the Ambanis, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar will represent India at the event. The minister is part of the QUAD foreign ministers’ delegation attending the inauguration.
This marks another significant moment for the Ambanis, who have become synonymous with global business influence. Their attendance at Trump’s inauguration follows an eventful year, which saw prominent figures from across the globe, including celebrities and political leaders, attending their son Anant Ambani’s wedding.
As Donald Trump takes the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States, the inauguration promises to be a monumental event with global business and political leaders in attendance.
