History of the Adani Group
Led by the esteemed industrialist Mr Gautam Adani, the Adani Group is today an industrial behemoth with a robust presence in a variety of sectors such as FMCG, renewable energy, infrastructure, etc. In 1988, Mr Adani established Adani Exports, known today as Adani Enterprises, i.e. the holding company of the Adani Group companies.
