Staying true to his philosophy of “Seva Over Self,” Adani sets a remarkable precedent by prioritizing social impact over opulence.
February 8, 2025: On the occasion of his son Jeet Adani’s wedding, Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, redefined the essence of celebrations by donating Rs 10,000 crore to various social causes. Guided by his philosophy, “Seva sadhana hai, seva prarthna hai aur seva parmatma hai,” Adani’s gesture emphasized community welfare over personal grandeur.
The wedding of Jeet Adani and Diva Shah, daughter of diamond trader Jaimin Shah, was held at the Belvedere Club in Ahmedabad’s Adani Shantigram township. Contrary to speculation, the ceremony was a simple and traditional Gujarati affair attended by close family and friends, with no politicians, celebrities, or business tycoons in attendance.
