"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.

Time for a selfie & we also asked if we could hitch a ride on her space shuttle instead of an Uber," the M&M chief said in a tweet.
