Gautam Adani Reflects on Journey After US Drops Case

Gautam Adani is the boss of the Adani Group, one of India's biggest business families.

He gave a speech on Wednesday about his life.

When he was 16 years old, he left his home and family to go to Mumbai, a big city.

He said he had no plan and no family nearby — only the courage to work hard.

He sees the same courage in the young workers at his company's projects.

Just before his speech, a court in the United States dropped a criminal case that the US government had brought against him.

Adani also talked about a time his company pulled back a huge money-raising plan called the Follow-on Public Offer.

He said trust is more important than any legal right.

He thanked his workers and even his critics, saying criticism helps people improve.

He asked everyone to help build a stronger, more self-reliant India.
