The country’s leading industrialist Gautam Adani remembered the women who influenced his life on the occasion of International Women’s Day. Adani Group Chairman Adani said in an emotional message that these women have played the biggest role in shaping the values and thinking of his life.
Childhood lessons learned from mother
In his post written on LinkedIn, Adani told that in his childhood, his mother told him stories of Indian epics. From those stories he learned life values like courage, sacrifice, duty and faith. He said that there was such depth in those stories which was more effective than any textbook. According to Adani, these early lessons had a deep impact on his thinking and many decisions in life.
Journey to Mumbai at the age of 16
Adani also remembered that period of his life when he went to Mumbai to pursue his career at the age of just 16. He wrote that at that time he did not have much resources, but he definitely had the passion to do something on his own. Today, when he remembers that time, he realizes that this decision must not have been easy for his mother too. It took great courage for a mother to send her son into an uncertain future.
Role of wife Preeti Adani
Adani also specially thanked his wife Preeti Adani. He said that Preeti Adani is like the keeper of his conscience. Preeti Adani, a dentist by profession, later dedicated herself to the work of Adani Foundation. This organization has reached more than one crore people in 22 states of the country through programs of education, health, livelihood and community development.
New thinking from the new generation of the family
Adani also mentioned his daughters-in-law and granddaughters and said that the new generation of the family has brought new energy and thinking in his life. At the end of his message, he said that a person can build ports, airports, power plants or big businesses in life, but the real foundation of life is built by those people who inspire us to become better people.
