Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, on Wednesday reflected on his personal journey alongside the infrastructure conglomerate’s recent legal navigation in the second edition of “Apni Baat, Apno Ke Saath”.

Detailing his early years leaving home as a teenager, Adani drew parallels between his own beginnings and the workforce across the group’s various operational sites.

“16 years of age. The first step toward Mumbai. No mother’s home-cooked meals. No sense of a father’s protection. No predetermined path. Just the courage of hard work and the desire to learn something new every day. From every corner of the country, when young people leave behind their homes, their families, arriving at our Project Sites with dreams in their eyes, I see my own journey reflected in them. Today, in those millions of young people, I see my own story – those who are far from home, far from loved ones, but are shaping their future and India’s future with the sweat of their brow,” Adani said.
