In a rare sight in Indian and American political and business circles, Donald Trump Jr. was spotted performing a Gujarati folk dance with Indian billionaire Anant Ambani in late November. Four months later, his family's conglomerate, which is among the wealthiest in Asia, reportedly wired at least $100 million to a Texas startup in which Trump Jr. secretly held a stake.
The exchange of funds, documented in a ProPublica investigation published on 9 June, has put the 30-year-old executive director of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), India's most valuable private company, at the center of one of the most scrutinised business-and-politics stories of the second Trump term. But the name Anant Ambani is new for most Americans, even though the family he represents is not.
