Business mogul Adani donates over Rs300 billion, holds simple ceremony for son’s wedding

Indian business mogul Gautam Adani kept his son’s wedding a low-key affair, choosing to focus on philanthropy rather than extravagant celebrations.

Reports had circulated on social media that Adani would host grand festivities for his son Jeet Adani’s wedding. However, the billionaire opted for a simple and private ceremony in Ahmedabad, avoiding lavish displays of wealth.

“The wedding took place today in Ahmedabad with traditional rituals and Shubh Mangal Bhaav among loved ones. It was a small and extremely private function, so we could not invite all the well-wishers even if we wanted to, for which I apologise. I sincerely seek blessings and love from all of you for my daughter Diva and Jeet,” Adani wrote in a post on X.

The wedding underscored Adani’s social philosophy, which prioritises serving society over personal extravagance.

According to Indian media, Adani donated INR 10,000 crore (Rs 300 billion) toward healthcare, education, and skills development.

The nuptials took place on February 7 in an intimate gathering attended only by close family and friends, following traditional Gujarati wedding rituals.
