'Washington Moment': When Mukesh Ambani and Anand Mahindra waited for Uber ride in the US
Top industrialist, Reliance Industries chairman and MD Mukesh Ambani and Mahindra and Mahindra chairman Anand Mahindra, were a part of the Indian business delegation to the United States during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's historic America tour.
Along with Ambani and Mahindra, 3rdiTech co-founder Vrinda Kapoor, Zerodha and True Beacon co-founder Nikhil Kamath were also in the delegation.
Apart from the serious business talk, Mahindra, who had attended the India-US Hi-Tech Handshake event, dropped a picture on Twitter with some fun.
On a lighter note, Mahindra shared a picture where he was spotted with Ambani and Vrinda Kapoor waiting for an Uber ride.
Mahindra termed it as "Washington Moment".
Mahindra tweeted, "I suppose this was what they would call a ‘Washington moment.’ After the tech handshake meeting yesterday, Mukesh Ambani, Vrinda Kapoor & I were continuing a conversation with the Secretary of Commerce & missed the group shuttle bus to the next lunch engagement.
"We were trying to call an Uber when we ran into NASA astronaut Sunita Williams @Astro_Suni. Time for a selfie & we also asked if we could hitch a ride on her space shuttle instead of an Uber…"
Prime Minister Modi's four-day visit to the US caught attention both in India and the US.
From Tesla CEO to US President Joe Biden to Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, Modi's bonhomie with top business magnets and leaders was the key moments of his historic trip.
