The wedding of Anant Ambani – youngest son of Reliance Industries Ltd. Chairman Mukesh Ambani – will be attended by luminaries from HSBC Holdings plc Chairman Mark Tucker and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. Chairman Jay Lee to political heavyweights like former UK leaders Boris Johnson and Tony Blair, according to people familiar with the guest list who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Chief executives including Saudi Aramco’s Amin Nasser and BP Plc counterpart Murray Auchincloss are on the list, the people said. So are Emma Walmsley of drug giant GSK Plc, Jim Taiclet of Lockheed Martin and even Fifa President Gianni Infantino.

While the CEOs of firms including Ericsson and HP Inc. are attending, some of the flashier names in tech – including Meta Platforms Inc.’s Mark Zuckerberg, who was present for pre-wedding festivities – do not appear on the guest list, according to the people.

A representative for Reliance did not offer any immediate comment on the guest list.

Anant Ambani and fiancée Radhika Merchant will become man and wife at the Jio World Centre in central Mumbai, with the event set to be attended by about 1,200 guests who also include Indian lawmakers and government ministers.

Mukesh Ambani’s wife Nita Ambani has curated hundreds of local dishes, Bloomberg reported earlier this week. Guest invitations, in the form of miniature temples with gold idols of Hindu gods, have gone viral on social media.
