Raju Mantena has suddenly become one of the most Googled names in India, thanks to his daughter Netra Mantena’s star-packed wedding in Udaipur. But beyond the viral clips of Hollywood and Bollywood celebrities flying in, many people are now curious about the man hosting one of the biggest destination weddings of the year.
Mantena is the Chairman and CEO of Ingenus Pharmaceuticals, a global company known for producing affordable complex medicines. Before building Ingenus, he founded several successful healthcare ventures in the US, including ICORE Healthcare and the International Oncology Network (ION). His rise in the pharmaceutical industry has been steady and strategic, shaped by his goal to make specialised treatments more accessible.
Raju Mantena Net Worth And Comparison With Mukesh Ambani
Online conversations around the wedding have sparked claims about Mantena’s wealth. However, his estimated net worth is around $20 million (approx. Rs 167 crore) as of 2025. It is substantial, but nowhere close to the wealth of Mukesh Ambani.
For context, Ambani’s net worth stood at Rs 9.55 lakh crore as per the M3M Hurun India Rich List 2025, placing him among the top 10 richest people in the world. The difference is enormous. Mantena’s presence in headlines has more to do with the grandeur of the wedding than any Ambani-level fortune.
Raju Mantena: Academic Background And Rs 400 Crore Florida Mansion
Mantena holds two degrees — a bachelor’s in Computer Science and Engineering, and another in Clinical Pharmacy. This unusual combination of tech and healthcare has shaped his career in the pharmaceutical business.
He also made news in January 2023 when he bought a massive estate in Manalapan, Florida. The 16,200-square-foot beachfront property, Villa Oceano Azul, reportedly cost $48.4 million (approx. Rs 400 crore). The mansion features seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a six-car garage and a private beach. What surprised many was that Mantena secured it for a price far lower than its original listing of $75 million.
How Hs Daughter’s Wedding Details Went Viral
The world came to know about Netra Mantena and Vamsi Gadiraju’s extravagant wedding only after a slip-up on social media. British actor Oliver Trevena accidentally posted the wedding invite on Instagram, revealing the high-profile guest list and the lavish schedule.
The celebrations (organised by Wizcraft Weddings) are taking place from 21 to 24 November 2025 across heritage locations such as The Leela Palace and Jagmandir Island Palace. The decor includes massive floral installations and customised sets designed for global performers.
Hollywood stars Jennifer Lopez and Justin Bieber are performing at the festivities, making this one of the most international weddings hosted in India. Videos from Udaipur have already shown Bollywood names like Hrithik Roshan, Ranveer Singh, and other A-listers arriving for the celebrations. Even Donald Trump Jr. was spotted among the guests.
