Karan Adani Says Keep Building Was His Father’s Answer
Karan Adani on watching his father through storm: ‘Sometimes the strongest answer is to keep building’ · thehansindia.com

Karan Adani wrote about watching his father, Gautam Adani, face a difficult period.

The period included the Hindenburg Research report and proceedings involving the United States Department of Justice.

Karan said he felt angry and worried while this was happening.

He said his father responded by continuing to work every morning.

Ports still operated, power still reached people, and airports still served passengers.

The Adani Group also continued making large investments.

It reported milestones involving an airport, cargo handling and renewable energy.

Karan said these events taught him that criticism does not have to stop people from working.

His main lesson was that sometimes the strongest response is to keep building.
