The rise and rise of Adani Group’s empire

Adani Group is synonymous with wealth creation! It took Gautam Adani three decades to build a group with a combined market capitalisation of $153 billion.

Secret Behind The Meteoric Rise

In 1988, Adani Group was born when Gautam Adani dropped out of college to set up a business to import and export commodities.

He was ahead of his time to set up companies like Adani Green Energy, which stands as the future of tomorrow.

Gautam Adani picked up hot new industries that the government was looking at and where the competition was relatively lesser. When PM Narendra Modi pledged to develop local defence equipment manufacturing, Adani built the capacity to supply the military by partnering with defence contractors.

What Lies Ahead?

The group is signing strategic collaborations with global energy majors, inking partnerships with IT giants, building airports and much more. Unlike other companies, it has already entered into these sectors and will only expand now. There seems to be ample growth left before Adani Group takes a hit.
