Udaipur: The lavish wedding of Netra Mantena, daughter of billionaire pharmaceutical entrepreneur Raj Ramalinga Mantena, recently held in Udaipur, has taken social media and headlines by storm. Dubbed one of the most expensive weddings of 2025, the ceremony drew Bollywood stars like Ranveer Singh, Hrithik Roshan, Madhuri Dixit, Karan Johar, as well as Hollywood celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bieber, and even Donald Trump Jr.
Who is Raj Ramalinga Mantena?
Raj Ramalinga Mantena, though relatively unknown to the public, shot to prominence following his daughter’s extravagant wedding. Originally from India, Mantena resides in Florida, USA, and is a successful entrepreneur in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors.
Net Worth
According to The Daily Guardian, Mantena’s net worth is estimated at $20 million (approximately ₹180 crore), placing him among the most affluent businessmen in the United States.
Career and Ventures
Mantena completed his education in computer science in India before moving to the U.S., where he earned a degree in pharmacy. He combined healthcare with technology to create highly successful businesses. Starting his ventures at a time when cancer research was evolving rapidly, digital healthcare was emerging, and payment systems in the U.S. were undergoing transformation, Mantena founded multiple companies, scaled them, and sold them for substantial profits.
Key Business Ventures
- Integra Connect: This company leverages real-world data to optimize cancer treatment. It generated $260 million in revenue and saved participating organizations over $100 million.
- OncoScripts: Founded in the 1990s, this firm sold cancer-related drugs and was later acquired by Cardinal Health, a major pharmaceutical distributor.
- International Oncology Network: Established to purchase and distribute cancer medications, it was acquired in 2001 by Amerisors-Bergen (now Senkora).
- ICORE Healthcare: Created to manage the cost of specialty drugs through tailored health plans, this company was sold in 2006 to Magellan Health Services for over $200 million.
Low Profile, High Impact
Despite his immense success, Mantena maintains a remarkably low profile. Even industry executives in both the U.S. and India had limited awareness of his contributions. A senior business development executive noted that Integra Connect had no visible representation at a recent international precision medicine conference in Orlando. Similarly, a biotech entrepreneur in San Francisco admitted having little knowledge of Mantena. His LinkedIn profile is minimal, and he rarely engages in online networking.
Raj Ramalinga Mantena’s understated approach contrasts sharply with the grandeur of his daughter’s wedding, yet his entrepreneurial accomplishments speak volumes, making him a quietly powerful figure in the global pharmaceutical industry.
