US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump is on a two-day visit to India. She was the keynote speaker at the opening of the three-day Global Entrepreneurship Summit in  Hyderabad. Ivanka spoke on the topic of "Women First, Prosperity for All." Ivanka met Prime Minister Modi before her speech at the Entrepreneurship Summit. She attended a gala dinner at the Taj Falaknuma Palace Hotel in Hyderabad with PM Modi.                       

On her arrival in India, she was greeted by Indian dignitaries and police officers. At the summit, Ivanka chose a green and yellow printed knee-length silk dress.

Only when women are empowered to thrive will our families, our economies and our societies reach their fullest potential," she said at the summit. Deepika Padukone had withdrawn her name from this summit owing to the controversies surrounding her upcoming release, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus, Padmavati.

Ivanka tweeted, "It was an honor to meet with you Prime Minister Modi. Thank you for co-hosting the 8th annual Global Entrepreneurship Summit! @StateDept"

Neeta Lulla has been commissioned to design an outfit for Ivanka Trump. Neeta had said in a statement, “As stylish and elegant as Ms Trump is, her ensemble too will be intricate and exquisite. We are honoured to present an exclusive bespoke collectable inspired from the Vrindavan Symphony which is our tribute to the celebrated Radha-Krishna fable. It has a motif of the traditional musical instrument sitar, which has its roots… in classical music… and is inspired by the Vrindavan Gardens where the impeccable portrayal of the divine romance was performed as ‘Raas Leela’. We have created a signature ensemble using the traditional sari restyled into an elegant gown. Dawned in ivory and golden silk threads, this gown has a ‘sitar’ on the trail made of finely woven silk from the historic city of Varanasi.”
