My Take
Gautam Adani is one of those figures whose sheer scale leaves me a little dizzy. Building a sprawling ports-and-infrastructure conglomerate in a single generation, then sitting near the top of the global wealth rankings with a net worth north of eighty billion dollars, is staggering by any measure. I sense the merchant instincts of Ahmedabad running through it all. He attracts equal parts praise and scrutiny, and a Time 100 nod sits alongside plenty of controversy. Yet the appetite to keep pushing forward is undeniable. Like him or not, I think he embodies the ambitions and tensions of modern India.
