Gautam Adani Success Story - India's 2nd Richest Person | Gautam Adani Biography | Kritesh Abhishek
In this episode, we discussed the Gautam Adani Success Story and how he became the second richest person in India. We'll be looking into Gautam Adani Biography to understand how he built Adani Group into a $100 Billion market cap group.
Investors today feel that they are missing out on something big if they have not included the stocks of the Adani group in their portfolio. But today we look at the man behind one of the biggest wealth creators in the country i.e. Gautam Adani's success story to become the second richest man in India.
Part1: Early Life of Gautam Adani: We have gone through many success stories in the past. But what makes Adani’s journey truly extraordinary are his humble middle-class beginnings. Gautam Adani was born into a Gujarati-Jain family on 24 June 1962. Adani had 7 siblings while his father was a textile merchant. Adani was set to follow in the same footsteps and spend most of his childhood accordingly. He enrolled for BCom at Gujarat University. While being bombarded with mundane accounts and economics he realized that academics were not for him.
Part 2: The 20-year-old millionaire: As a teen who just dropped out of college Adani moved to Mumbai with just Rs. 100 in his pocket. As luck favored him he secured a job with diamond brokers at Mumbai’s jewelry market Zaveri Bazaar. But Adani did not just simply work there, he used the 2-3 year period to learn the ins and outs of the business. He used this to set up his own diamond brokerage - his first business. Adani was already a millionaire by the age of 20. It was just then that Adani seized his next opportunity. His elder brother Mahasukh Adani had acquired a plastic factory and called Gautam Adani to Gujarat to help run it. Adani moved back to Gujarat to manage the business. It was here that Adani began slowly entering the big leagues of Import and export in 1985. Adani decided to import polyvinyl chloride or PVC to India. By 1988 Adani founded Adani Exports Ltd. which is today the holding company for the Adani Conglomerate.
Part 3: Gautam Adani's Success Story: Road to becoming a Billionaire 1991 marks the year of liberalization for the Indian economy. The company began to grow in leaps and bounds as Adani had now also entered the textiles and metals. In 1993 Adani entered into Ports and SEZ, the business the conglomerate is well known for today. He did this by securing a contract from the Government of Gujarat to operate the Mundra Port. Adani turned the port into India’s largest privately operated port. By 1995 the Mundra port was dealing in over 200 million tonnes of load every year. He also went onto build a 2 KM airstrip in his port. This made the Mundra port the only one with its own airstrip in India. This would further aid the transportation of high-value but low-volume goods like pharmaceuticals and diamonds. In 1996, he set up Adani Power Ltd. and by 2006, Adani had also entered the power generation business.
Part 4: Surviving Kidnappings and Prospering COVID One of the darkest moments of Adani’s life was when he was kidnapped at gunpoint and held for ransom two decades ago. In 2008, Adani once again found himself in the midst of the 26/11 terror attacks at the Taj. Adani managed to survive both and went onto thrive in the business world. Adani further diversified his business into oil and gas exploration and logistics. The Adani group also became the largest private power producer in the country. Despite taking on $17 billion worth of debt, the company has still been able to raise funds from foreign banks for Adani green. Amidst COVID, Adani’s fortunes have grown multifold. This is thanks to the surge in share prices of his ports, gas, and mining companies.
