Isha Ambani joins Michael Bloomberg and Cate Blanchett on Serpentine summer party committee

The panel for one of the hottest tickets in town, the Serpentine Gallery‘s annual invite-only summer party, will include Indian businesswoman Isha Ambani and Hollywood star Cate Blanchett, it has been announced.

Ambani, daughter of Asia’s richest man, Reliance Industries boss Mukesh Ambani, has been confirmed as chair of the inaugural Host Committee for the Serpentine summer party 2025, alongside Michael R. Bloomberg, chairman of Serpentine’s Board of Trustees, CEO Bettina Korek and artistic director Hans Ulrich Obrist. Actor and arts champion Blanchett will be co-hosting.

This year’s party will spotlight Indian contemporary art and will feature a commissioned installation by artist Subodh Gupta. The sculptural piece which reimagines his work, A Place in the Sun, resembles a rickshaw and is assembled from everyday Indian objects such as tiffin boxes, thali pans, bicycles and milk pails.
