Kings owner and Silicon Valley billionaire Vivek Ranadive’s daughter Anjali reveals relationship with ex-Sacramento guard Jeremy Lamb
Anjali Ranadive, the daughter of Sacramento Kings owner and Silicon Valley billionaire Vivek, appears to have a new love interest: retired NBA guard Jeremy Lamb.
The relationship was revealed on Instagram, where Anjali shared a photo of her kissing the former Kings player alongside three leashed wolves – a long-standing interest of the budding philanthropist.
“My pack,” she wrote on Instagram alongside a heart emoji, wolf emoji and Lamb’s handle.
The origins of their relationship remain a bit of a mystery, but they did have some professional overlap within the Kings organization.
In addition to her charity work and outdoor singing career, Anjali was assistant general manager of the King’s G League affiliate in Stockton until January 19, when she resigned to pursue other interests.

Lamb is a veteran of 10 NBA seasons and may have met Anjali during his time in Stockton
Lamb, meanwhile, arrived in Sacramento in a trade in February 2022, and although he was fired a year later, he resurfaced with the Stockton Kings in November. He ultimately suffered a season-ending injury in March before deciding to retire in August.
It remains unclear whether Anjali and Lamb began socializing during their respective tenures in Stockton.
Either way, the two 32-year-olds seem excited to be together with a trio of wolves in the photos.
Lamb is coming off a successful 10-year NBA career, much of which was spent in Oklahoma City, Charlotte and Indiana. He had his best season offensively with the Hornets in 2018-19, when he averaged a career-high 15.3 points per game.
He is perhaps better remembered for his college career at UConn, where he won a national title in 2011.

Her father, Vivek, was chronicled in Malcolm Gladwell’s 2013 book, David and Goliath. But instead of Vivek’s career in business intelligence software, the text instead focused on the billionaire’s decision to coach Anjali’s high school basketball team.
Vivek had never touched a basketball until he was 40, but led the team to success using a set of principles that Gladwell applies to other life lessons.
It was that experience that ultimately led Vivek to purchase the Kings in 2013. Since then, Sacramento has made the playoffs just once, losing a first-round series to the rival Warriors in 2023.
