Trump will keynote the Global Entrepreneurship Summit on Tuesday, sharing the stage with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi - whom she will dine with later at Falaknuma Palace, a royal residence that was converted in the last decade into a private hotel.
She is also participating in two panels at the women-focused symposium.
The senior White House advisor will spend 36 hours in the city, a U.S. official told DailyMail.com. Her departure from India will precede the conclusion of the three-day gathering in Hyderabad.
In spite of her short stay, the bustling city underwent a transformation in areas that Trump is expected to pass through.
Beggars were rounded up from the streets and displaced. Trees were painted and planted along the medians. Roadways were tidied and repaved - all to impress the U.S. president's 36-year-old daughter, a senior adviser to her father.

Local residents say they are 'proud' that Trump is visiting Hyderabad over Mumbai, India's largest city, or Delhi, its national capital.
Several chaffed at beautification project, though, telling DailyMail.com that greenery, artwork and sculptures lining the roadways now were not there a week ago and wouldn't be there now if it weren't for Ivanka.
'I think it's overrated, honestly,' said 18-year-old engineering student Bhavani P. of the first daughter's visit. 'They are cleaning up roads. They are decorating just because she's coming.'
Ivanka Trump is in town for GES at the invitation of Modi, an offer he extended to her last summer when he visited the White House. The location of the summit was announced a year prior in a joint statement between former President Barack Obama and Modi during a June 2016 trip to Washington.
Obama launched the conference that will be held this week at Hyderabad International Convention Centre in 2010. President Trump's White House said this June that it would honor the agreement during Modi's visit.
It was announced then that Ivanka would represent the U.S. at the event - a choice that CNN says roiled Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. In the previous administration, the nation's top diplomat sometimes went to the summit. Once, when it was held in Kenya, the birthplace of Obama's father, the U.S. president was the nation's chief delegate.

In the unconventional Trump White House, where Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner both have senior standing, the president's daughter has thrice represented the U.S. government at major international events, including a forum on apprenticeships in Germany and a women's assembly in Japan.
Trump's elder daughter is a business owner in her own right, having built up a successful lifestyle and clothing brand prior to her father's presidency. Her experience managing her personal business and her father's real estate company, where she was previously an executive, along the name and face recognition she earned from appearances on 'The Apprentice' have made her an appealing communicator within her father's controversy-plagued administration.
Ivanka has the potential to upset local vendors with street closures and the possibility of an undisclosed sightseeing trip in Hyderabad, though. Her brand's treatment of factory workers in its Indian production plants has also attracted some scrutiny in days before her trip.
The theme of this year's Global Entrepreneurship Summit is 'Women First, Prosperity for All.' Ivanka, a promoter of women's issues, is speaking on panels with uplifting taglines like 'We Can Do It! Innovations in Workforce Development and Skills Training' and 'Be the Change: Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership.'
She said last week that the theme 'demonstrates the Trump administration's commitment to the principle that when women are economically empowered, their communities and countries thrives.'
Predicting 'a very exciting conference,' Ivanka said she hopes the summit 'will really elevate these issues, not only domestically and in India but across the globe.'
'I very much look forward to my visit,' she told reporters during a call put on by the State Department, which is helping to organize the international summit.

In Hyderabad, where Telugu is the official language and a mere two-thirds of the city's residents are literate, English-speakers were anticipating the high-level visit that is being advertised on large billboards near the city's IT hub.
'A warm welcome to Ivanka,' said Sai Krishna, the human resources officer at at an ethnic wear retail store. 'Gladly welcome,' the 27-year-old said.
Krishna made note of the renovations and Ivanka's resume. 'All Hyderabad people warmly welcome Ivanka. All Hyderabad people are wanting to see her,' he said.
Shrugging off Trump's visit was Aashritha Reddy, an 18-year-old college student who's native to Hyderabad. Reddy said of the spotlight on women's entrepreneurship at this week's summit: 'Let's see if it actually works.'
Twenty-seven-year-old Rohith, an engineering major who is currently employed at a Hyderabad electronics store, said he was pleased that Ivanka was visiting if only for the roadway improvements.
'Now they made everything beautiful, planting trees,' he said. 'Governments are doing their jobs now.'
FirstPost and other publications in the area have also reported a rounding up of beggars in anticipation of the event, much like the city's crackdown when Bill Clinton visited in 2000.
The local government has quashed that reporting and claimed it was part of an on-going campaign to rid the city's streets of the homeless.
A Nov. 7 notice from the Hyderabad city police commissioner M. Mahendar Reddy said 'many beggars are begging alms in an indecent manner' and 'employing children and handicapped persons' to help solicit cash.
'Such acts are causing annoyance and awkwardness by exposing in an indecent manner to divert the attention of the vehicular traffic as well as pedestrians and public in general to induce them to give alms,' the post said. 'These acts are dangerous to the safety of the vehicular traffic and public in general.'

Safety is a top concern for the local government with the U.S. president's daughter and the Indian prime minister in town.
According to the Times of India, the state's most elite police divisions will be on guard Dragunov sniper rifles at the places she and Modi are traveling and door-to-door searches are being conducted of neighborhoods in the vicinity of the palace they're dining at.
The publication also said that three bulletproof and mine-resistant limos are on loan for her trip from the U.S. Secret Service.
A request for comment from the agency by DailyMail.com was declined.
U.S. officials have been tight-lipped about all of Trump's plans, even as local media has been abuzz with reports on where the president's daughter is staying and where she will go when she's not in Hitech City, the neighborhood that's home to both her five-star accommodations and the summit.
Like other high-profile attendees of the conference, Trump is staying at the Westin on Hyderabad's Mindspace campus.
She will be escorted at all times by local police vehicles, forcing road closures in the areas that she and other VIPs will be using to get from the hotel to the convention center and other points of interest.
The ornately-painted trees, sculptures and newly-planted greenery do not complete her pathway, providing only a partial glimpse of where she will travel.
Ivanka is confirmed to attend a dinner with Modi at Falaknuma on Tuesday and an 'official breakfast' during her 36-hour stay.
Times of India reported that Taj Hotels imported flowers from Thailand, Indonesia and Bengaluru, India, for the dinner at the property that it remodeled and opened for business in 2010. It also flew in a master chef for each dish on the menu and prepared gold and silver plates and cutlery for the occasion, Times of India reported.
A Trump administration official also said a 'potential cultural stop' is still in the mix, meaning that Trump could stop by Chowmahalla Palace, a residence of another Nizam of Hyderabad that remains that family's property, or Charminar, a monument and monument that's the internationally-recognized symbol of Hyderabad.
Locally it has been reported that Trump may walk through the Laad Bazaar, a market close to Charminar where bangle bracelets are sold.
That is assuming she has time after she participates in her panels and two bilateral meetings alongside State Department representatives.
Ivanka is expected to leave on Wednesday, although her exact departure date and time has not been shared.
A U.S. official said she was always due to the leave the conference before it concluded after a whirlwind trip to India and must return to the U.S. to help fellow White House aides with the GOP's tax reform push.
