From March 1 to 3, in Jamnagar, Gujarat, an assembly of world-renowned leaders from the realms of business and technology, including Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Microsoft’s founder Bill Gates, will be gathering for the pre-wedding festivities of Mukesh Ambani’s youngest offspring, Anant Ambani, with Radhika Merchant, daughter of the industrial magnate Viren Merchant. The couple is set to marry later in Mumbai, marking a significant union within influential circles.
The guest list is a veritable who’s who of global industry, featuring names such as Morgan Stanley’s Ted Pick, Disney’s Bob Iger, and a lineup of other distinguished figures spanning various sectors—from finance and entertainment to technology and energy.
The festivities promise not only a celebration of the couple’s upcoming union but also an immersive experience into India’s rich cultural tapestry, highlighted by the presentation of traditional scarves made by female artisans from the villages of Kachchh and Lalpur in Gujarat.
A recent video shared by the Reliance Foundation on Instagram offers a glimpse into the meticulous selection of Bandhani scarves for the wedding events, with Nita Ambani, the foundation’s chairwoman, engaging with the artisans. The video underscores her admiration for their commitment to their craft, emphasizing the cultural significance and the artisanal heritage that the wedding festivities aim to honor.
