Ahmedabad: Billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani marked the wedding of his younger son, Jeet Adani, with a remarkable gesture of philanthropy. In a pledge of service to society, he announced a donation of Rs 10,000 crore for social welfare initiatives.
The wedding, which took place on Friday in Ahmedabad, was an intimate affair attended only by close family members and friends. Jeet Adani, the director of Adani Airports, tied the knot with Diva, daughter of diamond businessman Jaimin Shah, at the Belvedere Club in Adani Shantigram Township. The ceremony adhered strictly to traditional Gujarati customs, with no high-profile politicians, business magnates, or film celebrities in attendance.
A Private Yet Profound Celebration
On the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Mr. Adani shared a heartfelt message, referring to his daughter-in-law as "Daughter Diva." He wrote, "With the blessings of Almighty God, Jeet and Diva tied the sacred knot of marriage today. It was a small and private ceremony, so we could not invite all well-wishers, for which I apologize. However, I sincerely seek love and blessings from all for Daughter Diva and Jeet."
Adani’s decision to keep the wedding simple was in line with a commitment he made during his visit to the Maha Kumbh Mela, where he had expressed his intent to conduct his son's wedding in a traditional and modest manner.
A Commitment to Social Welfare
Alongside celebrating his son's new beginning, Adani made an extraordinary commitment to philanthropy. He announced that ₹10,000 crore would be directed towards social service initiatives, emphasizing his philosophy: "Seva Sadhna Hai, Seva Prarthana Hai, and Seva Hi Parmatma Hai" (Service is devotion, service is prayer, and service is God).
The donation will primarily support infrastructure development in healthcare, education, and skill development. A major portion will be allocated to establishing:
World-class hospitals and medical colleges to improve access to quality healthcare.
Top-tier K-12 schools to provide holistic education.
A Global Skill Academy ensuring employability for individuals across various socio-economic backgrounds.
This philanthropic initiative aligns with Adani’s broader vision of nation-building and social responsibility, reinforcing his commitment to uplifting communities through sustainable development.
