Netra Mantena is the daughter of US- based billionaire Rama Raju Mantena and Vamsi Gadiraju is a tech co-founder. Donald Trump Jr. and girlfriend Bettina Anderson attended their wedding. The Hollywood Reporter India reported that “Rama Raju Mantena, the Orlando-based CEO of Ingenus Pharmaceuticals, oversees a portfolio that includes multinational healthcare ventures with facilities in the US, Switzerland and India.
“His daughter Netra’s wedding has drawn significant attention not just for its scale, but for what it signals about the growing convergence of global wealth, celebrity culture and Indian destination weddings.
The "Udaipur Wedding" has become one of the most extravagant — and most talked-about — weddings India has seen this year.”
