Gautam Adani donates INR10,000 cr to charity, ditching the grand wedding for his son.
To set new trends in philanthropy, billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani has donated a staggering INR10,000 cr, to charity instead of hosting an extravagant wedding for his youngest son, Jeet Adani.
The donation will be used to build world-class hospitals, medical colleges, K-12 schools, and advanced skill academies, ensuring long-term benefits for communities.
Jeet Adani married Diva Shah in a close wedding ceremony held at Shantigram, Ahmedabad.

The event was a private affair, attended only by close family and friends. The rituals were conducted following traditional Jain and Gujarati customs, staying true to the Adani family’s values.
Against the usual lavish weddings of India’s elite, particularly the Ambanis, the Adanis chose a simple yet meaningful celebration.
Gautam Adani acknowledged the limited guest list in a heartfelt tweet: “With the blessings of Almighty God, Jeet and Diva got married today. 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 apologize.”
The billionaire also shared pictures of the newlyweds, seeking blessings and love for the couple.
