The internet cannot stop talking about the extravagant Udaipur wedding of Netra Mantena, daughter of NRI industrialist Rama Raju Mantena, and tech entrepreneur Vamsi Gadiraju.
Spread across three luxurious days and hosted at the Leela Palace and Jagmandir Island Palace, the celebrations drew global attention with a guest list featuring Donald Trump Jr., Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bieber, Hrithik Roshan, Ranveer Singh, and several top Bollywood stars.
Social media is overflowing with photos and videos showcasing lavish décor, high-end performances, and grand rituals.
The haldi, mehendi, and sangeet events featured show-stopping performances by Madhuri Dixit, Nora Fatehi, and Ranveer Singh, who even got Donald Trump Jr. dancing.
With international artists, tight security, and unmatched luxury, the event is now being hailed as one of the most opulent weddings of the year.
At the centre of it all is Rama Raju Mantena, Chairman and CEO of Ingenus Pharmaceuticals, who is hosting what many are calling the “wedding of the year.”
Who Is Rama Raju Mantena?
Rama Raju Mantena is a major figure in the American pharmaceutical industry. He serves as the Chairman and CEO of Ingenus Pharmaceuticals, which operates in the US, Switzerland, and India.
Originally from Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, Mantena moved to the United States in the 1980s. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science & Engineering from JNTU (India) and later studied clinical pharmacy at the University of Maryland.
Over the years, he founded several successful healthcare ventures, including:
ICORE Healthcare – a company managing specialty healthcare costs
International Oncology Network (ION)
OncoScripts – an oncology-focused pharmacy
Mantena began his career as CEO of P4 Healthcare in Florida before launching multiple companies that grew into significant players in the healthcare and oncology sectors.
Though occasionally labelled a “billionaire,” public data places his net worth at around $20 million (₹167 crore). However, he reportedly purchased a ₹400-crore luxury estate in Florida in 2023, featuring 16 bedrooms and a private beach.
Mantena is also known for his philanthropy. In 2017, he reportedly donated a garland of 1,008 gold coins (28 kg) to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams temple. He is married to Padmaja Mantena.
