The president's daughter opened a U.S. sponsored tech summit on Tuesday afternoon in India with a message of 'greater opportunity for women around the world.'

Speaking at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit near Hyderabad's IT hub, Ivanka Trump charmed an audience of more than 1,200 people. 

Trump, 36, delightedly told area attendees, 'In this "City of Pearls" the greatest treasure is you!' 

'Now your tech centers may - may - even outshine your world famous biryani,' she said, eliciting laughter as she name-checked a local rice and meat dish.

Ivanka Trump is in India at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She arrived early Tuesday morning and leaves on Wednesday.

She was a keynote speaker at the conference on Tuesday, giving 20 minutes of remarks before Modi took the stage.

The first daughter also appeared on a panel, where she encouraged women to seek out and mentor other women who would benefit from their knowledge.
