Addressing students at Mumbai's Jai Hind College in September this year, Gautam Adani summed up his life's philosophy. Resilience, he said, is "not about avoiding the falls. It's about rising stronger after every fall." Not even his worst detractors can accuse him of at least not trying to walk his talk.
The Adani Group chairman is, thus, far from being battle-weary even though he has been forced to navigate two existential crises in as many years of his three-decade-long entrepreneurial journey. Consider this: Barely a month after being at the centre of charges of bribery and misrepresentation of facts by the District Court of New York and the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Adani was seen seated virtually next to Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Rajasthan Investment Summit. There was no sign of a slowing down and his growth plans haven't seen the slightest pruning. In fact, the projects promised at the event were the biggest of those outlined by other industrialists.
