On Sunday, Anand Mahindra posted a picture from Washington that featured Mukesh Ambani, astronaut Sunita Williams, and Vrinda Kapoor. The picture looked normal but had a fun story behind it.
Among the businessmen from India who attended the US State Dinner honouring Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Washington, DC, were Mukesh Ambani and Anand Mahindra.
They even attended an India-US Hi-Tech Handshake meeting on Friday in the East Room of the White House. The two were joined by executives like Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Anand and Ambani lost track of time and missed the shuttle that was scheduled to transport them to their next lunch appointment while they were talking with US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and 3rdiTech co-founder Vrinda Kapoor. Therefore, they were attempting to hail an Uber and, in the meantime, encountered NASA astronaut Sunita Williams. She also attended the meeting of the India-US Hi-Tech Handshake.
The Post From US Has Garnered Over A Million Views
The picture was posted by business tycoon Anand Mahindra on his Twitter account. The post has by far garnered over 1.2 million views and 45.2K likes.
Great personalities and the pride of India in one frame.

Anand Mahindra had earlier posted images of the captivating art on display inside the majestic White House. Additionally, he had uploaded a selfie with Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, that was shot at the Hi Tech Handshake event.
The Tech Handshake meeting this morning at the White House, was refreshingly frank, thanks to the direction of @GinaRaimondo My optimism about closer technology cooperation is because mutual benefit is now involved rather than just a one-way request from India.
