#Adani Group Foundation

[unpluggedtv]

According to a Forbes press release, the unranked list "highlights prominent altruists in the Asia-Pacific region who demonstrated a strong personal dedication to humanitarian causes." In June of this year, when Gautam Adani turned 60, his vow of 60,000 crores (USD 7.7 billion) was noted. According to the news release, he is now one of India's most generous benefactors as a result of his pledge. The money will go to the family's 1996-founded Adani Foundation, which will be used for healthcare, education, and skill development. Every year, India is home to almost 3.7 million recipients of charitable assistance.

A staggering sell-off of the stocks of Indian conglomerate Adani Group was sparked last week by a report released by Hindenburg Research that raised questions about the group’s debt levels and use of tax havens. The Adani Group’s stocks declined more than 50 percent in the aftermath of the report’s publication, and those declines have had a massive effect on the wealth of the company’s namesake, Gautam Adani, who had previously been the world’s third-richest person and Asia’s richest overall. The Adani Group has denied the allegations, saying they have “no basis.” But the controversy has focused attention on the group’s central role in the Indian economy and its founder’s close relationship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

What accounts for Adani’s rise in the first place? What is the basis for his close relationship with Modi? And what role does the Adani Group play in the Indian economy? Those are a few of the questions that came up in my recent conversation with FP economics columnist Adam Tooze on the podcast we co-host, Ones and Tooze. What follows is an excerpt, edited for length and clarity.

For the full conversation, look for Ones and Tooze wherever you get your podcasts.

Cameron Abadi: Adani has a pretty impressive rags-to-riches story. What were the key turning points on his path to great wealth?

Adam Tooze: It’s a fascinating story. He’s born in 1962, as India’s demographic boom is cresting. And not in a poor family by any means but to a small businessman, a small trading family. He initially embarked on an undistinguished career in school and then headed to commercial college but then dropped out. And in 1978, he entered the diamond trade, which is large in the province of Gujarat, and then sets himself up as a sort of export-import trader. And from the ‘90s onwards, he embarks on the infrastructure projects— management of ports, the construction of railway systems—which will make him famous, indeed legendary. So it’s the story not really of a kind of business genius who has some technological, gee-whiz idea that conquers the world. It isn’t a story of the magnificent technical excellence of Indian IT services, for instance. It’s a more classic story of the accumulation of capital by means of trade, trading on margins, basically, and then a shift into infrastructure.

And this is where the key element in the Adani story comes in, which is politics and the politics of connections and clientelism. And that’s really the decisive moment in his career where, you know, after the ghastly pogroms against the Muslim population of Gujarat in 2002, when Modi is under massive pressure, Adani solidarizes himself with Modi against, at the time, the prevailing mood of Indian business opinion. He in fact breaks ranks and forms his own industrial association, or business association, and on that basis really forms this lasting connection to Modi that is really the distinguishing feature of his business enterprise.

And that’s what has enabled this utterly explosive growth. I mean, this was a still moderately sized business in the ‘90s and the early 2000s, which has now become absolutely a globally scaled enterprise and the foundation for huge wealth for Adani and his family.

CA: What exactly links Adani and Modi’s [Bharatiya Janata Party] BJP party on an ideological level? Do they share a vision for what kind of country India should be? Or is this relationship an expression of a kind of material division of labor—Adani as the economic arm of the Indian state under the BJP in service of further economic development?

AT: I think the key phrase is nation-building—both words in that hyphenated term. So national projects aiming for truly comprehensive scale, which—when you’re dealing with a subcontinental state like India with a population that India has—is a gigantic undertaking.

So for the Adani Group to establish itself the way it has as the key power producer in the private sector, absolutely key player in port infrastructure on the national scale, and absolutely key player in airports—air mobility being key in a country the size of India—now moving into a new position in cement, this is creating a national economy out of the relatively decentralized provincial structures, which until a remarkably recent date dominated the Indian economy. And for the second element—the building part of nation-building—delivery is the absolutely key thing because if there’s one problem the Indian state machine has, it is the capacity to deliver. They have a chronic problem. There is no shortage of brilliant minds that can conceive of wonderful plans but actually implementing policy down to the village level and across the entirety of this vast country, that’s a huge challenge.

And I think it’s the combination of those two elements that really has forged the almost mythic relationship between Modi on the one hand and these two big business groups: [Indian businessman Mukesh] Ambani on the one hand and Adani on the other—both from Gujarat. And I think that’s another element that you could say was also a kind of ideological narrative, which is the talk of the Gujarat model. To put it crudely, you might say it was a sort of Indian Thatcherism or an Indian neoliberalism. It was a break, as in the case of [former British Prime Minister Margaret] Thatcher, driven from within the government machine, in this case in the province of Gujarat, against the rather top-down, state-directed model inherited from the Nehruvian period of early independence, the 1940s to 1950s, where India toyed with socialist, social-democratic planning models. And this is replaced in the ‘90s and the 2000s by this Gujarat model, which is a kind of open embrace of a productive powerhouse relationship between big business interests and government.

CA: Could you summarize the allegations against Adani from Hindenburg Research—and what does this episode reveals about the role played by short sellers like Hindenburg Research in the global capitalist economy?

AT: First, we can’t stress strongly enough, the Adani Group vigorously disputes the allegations. But the allegation is that through a network of essentially family-linked holding companies held to a considerable extent outside India, the Adani Group dramatically inflated the value of its stock. So around about 75 percent of Adani shares are held by other businesses, according to Hindenburg Group, which are in a sense simply postbox entities situated in offshore places like Mauritius, for instance, which drive up the stock value of the Adani Group. And the significance of that is not only that it brings paper gains for the holdings of the key members of the family, but much more importantly, what it enables them to do is to leverage those high stock values, to get bank loans and to get credit, which then turns into real purchasing power with which you can then launch large investment projects, buy out rivals, and actually reshape India’s political economy.

Now the Hindenburg group in pursuing this case is, in a sense, involved in playing a game in India that it has played elsewhere. They’re an interesting, very small research outfit that specializes in doing—I’m not sure I would call them regulators. It’s a little bit more like private investigator kind of work. They seize on a cause. They then decide that a company is massively overvalued. They do their homework. They then take short positions and through the force of their research attempt, as it were, to drive the value of the firm down, which generates large profits on their short positions.

The sophisticated Indian response, I think, is that there’s really an element of culture clash here. There aren’t many players in the Indian financial markets who imagine that the value of the Adani Group is determined in a conventionally free and fair way because people aren’t naive about the way in which India’s political economy operates. And so the sophisticated rationale for what’s going on in India is that Indian financial investors know that this is part of the Adani Group’s business plan. And with the backing that they enjoy in political circles, they are not just too big to fail but essentially identified with the Modi-ite project. So long as that is hegemonic in Indian politics, these businesses cannot fail. So there is in fact very little risk that you won’t get paid back. And to that extent, no harm, no foul.

But what actually is happening is that India’s economy is becoming progressively more and more distorted by this self-sustaining linkage between high market valuations, large credit, and deep political connections constituting a too-big-to-fail kind of juggernaut that can’t be stopped. And the negative consequence of that is not in terms of an investor protection case—if you’re on this train, you’re probably going to be fine. The real issue is what it does to the Indian economy and what it does, by implication, also to Indian society.

CA: What does Adani reveal about the role of the super wealthy in countries at India’s stage of development? Does Adani act as an engine of domestic development through reinvestments in the country or through philanthropy? Or is it instead that he takes his money out of the country and insulates himself from the Indian economy?

AT: What’s really interesting is that this is not, I think, as far as we’re able to assess anyway, a Russian-style model. I mean, this is an immensely wealthy family. They will have property in many parts of the world. But this is not a model like the Russian oligarch one, where you pump oil and gas in Russia, you sell it for dollars, and then you stash those dollars in a Swiss bank account. That is the kind of classic model of truly offshore oligarchic finance that is draining resources from a country. And as far as we’re able to assess, the Adani Group is using offshore money to sustain and double down on their positions in India. The purpose is to raise more credit so as to be able to do more investment in India. So this is not an instance, I think, of a group that is operating primarily in an extractive mode.

The Adanis have also become very heavily involved in philanthropy. For the occasion of Gautam’s 60th birthday, they launched one of the largest philanthropic initiatives that India has seen since the glory days of the Tata family. They pledged $7.7 billion in 2022—so very considerable amounts of money in the kind of league of [billionaire] Bill Gates at that stage.

CA: What does Adani’s career and his wealth tell us about the Indian economy in general? What kind of capitalist country is India exactly?

AT: If you go to Delhi and you speak to economists, that’s the question that preoccupies them. And the upside story, the one that the proponents of this system favor, is that it’s a South Korean-style, chaebol-type system where you have these very, very powerful conglomerate families like the Samsung Group. So that’s the most favorable vision, that these powerhouse private, public-private partnerships will be the drivers of an Indian industrial development or modernization like that of South Korea.

And on the darker end of the spectrum, the fear is that you could see the development of a crony capitalism that shifts ever more towards the more ominous sort of Russian development where you have quite fundamental erosion of the rule of law. The real worry, I think, is that you could see a much more fundamental degeneration of competition, of civil society control, and that is why many people regard the acquisitions by these big groups in the media space as being so worrying because one of the consequences of that is that freedom of speech is increasingly curtailed and even tenure in universities becomes problematic.

But setting all of these big sort of historical analogies aside, ultimately, the rationale and the acid test of this system will be what political scientists call output legitimacy. Can they get the job done? Are they actually going to be able to deliver on a raft of big infrastructural projects that India needs over the next decades—notably, for instance, in the renewable energy and the sustainable energy space? In the end, these corporate stories have to translate into the infrastructure that enables that more broadly based macroeconomic growth.

जानिए क्या है सचाई Adani Case की - Adani Bribery & Fraud Allegations | Adani Companies to Fall More?

The Adani Group, one of India’s largest conglomerates, has become synonymous with rapid growth and diversification. Founded in 1988 by Gautam Adani, the group has established a formidable presence in infrastructure, energy, logistics, and more. While admired for its entrepreneurial spirit and contributions to India's economic development, the Adani Group has also been at the center of controversies, including allegations of monopolistic practices, environmental concerns, and financial irregularities. This case study examines the group’s meteoric rise, its business model, challenges, and its future outlook.

Origins and Expansion Gautam Adani started as a commodities trader and laid the foundation for the Adani Group in Ahmedabad. Over the years, the company diversified into critical sectors, aligning its growth with India's economic priorities:

Ports and Logistics:

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) is India’s largest port operator, managing major ports like Mundra, India's largest commercial port.

The group's integrated logistics solutions, including rail and road networks, strengthened its position in global trade.

Energy and Power:

Adani Power became India's largest private thermal power producer.

The group has heavily invested in renewable energy, with Adani Green Energy becoming one of the world’s largest solar energy companies.

Agriculture and Food Processing:

With ventures in agri-infrastructure, edible oils, and food processing, the group contributes to India's agrarian economy.

New Ventures:

The group has entered airports, data centers, and defense manufacturing, showcasing its ambition to dominate multiple industries.

Business Model and Strategy The Adani Group’s growth has been characterized by:

Infrastructure-Driven Expansion: Strategic investments in infrastructure aligned with government priorities, such as ports, airports, and renewable energy projects.

Leveraging Debt: The group has consistently relied on significant debt to finance its expansion, raising questions about financial sustainability.

Vertical Integration: Ownership across the value chain, such as coal mining, transportation, and power generation, enhances efficiency and profitability.

Public-Private Partnerships: Collaboration with government projects, such as the Udan initiative for regional air connectivity, has boosted its portfolio.

Achievements

Global Leadership in Renewables: Adani Green Energy has positioned India as a leader in clean energy by undertaking massive solar and wind projects.

Economic Impact: The group's investments have created jobs, supported local communities, and contributed to India's GDP.

International Footprint: Acquisitions like Australia's Carmichael coal mines and collaborations in Sri Lanka and Israel have made the group a global player.

Controversies and Criticism

Environmental Concerns:

The Carmichael coal project in Australia faced global backlash for its environmental impact and proximity to the Great Barrier Reef.

Allegations of Favoritism:

Critics allege that the Adani Group has benefited disproportionately from its close ties with the Indian government, especially under the Narendra Modi administration.

Debt and Financial Transparency:

As of recent years, the group's debt levels have raised concerns among investors, with allegations of opaque financial practices.

Hindenburg Report:

In January 2023, Hindenburg Research accused the Adani Group of stock manipulation and accounting fraud. While the group denied these allegations, its market valuation saw a sharp decline, affecting investor confidence.

Response to Challenges

Legal Actions: The group has taken steps to address allegations, including independent audits and legal challenges.

Debt Reduction Plans: Adani announced plans to prioritize deleveraging its balance sheet and focus on cash-flow-positive projects.

Commitment to Sustainability: Increasing investments in renewable energy aim to counter criticisms of its fossil fuel ventures.

Future Prospects The Adani Group’s focus on renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and global expansion aligns with global trends. Its ambitious projects, such as hydrogen production and smart cities, reflect its vision for long-term sustainability and innovation.

However, the group must address concerns about governance, financial transparency, and environmental stewardship to maintain investor confidence and public trust.

Conclusion The Adani Group embodies the duality of modern corporate giants: remarkable growth and innovation tempered by controversies and challenges. Its journey offers valuable lessons in ambition, risk-taking, and the importance of sustainable practices in achieving global leadership.

[ad_1] The White House has said it is aware of the allegations against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, chairman of Adani Group, who was indicted in New York over his role in an alleged multibillion-dollar bribery and fraud scheme. Addressing reporters during her daily briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre expressed confidence that India and the US could navigate the issue without compromising their robust partnership. “So, Obviously, we’re aware of these allegations, and I would have to refer you to the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and DOJ (Department of Justice) about the specifics of those – of those allegations against the Adani Group,” she said. Jean-Pierre said that the relationship between the US and India remains solid. “What I will say is on the US and India relationship, we believe that it stands on an extremely strong foundation anchored in ties between our people and cooperation across a full range of global issues,” she said. She further expressed confidence in the ability of the two nations to navigate the situation. “We believe and are confident that we’ll continue to navigate this issue as we have with other issues that may have come up. And so the specifics of this is something that the SEC  and DOJ can speak to directly, but again, we believe that…this relationship between India and the US has been built on a strong foundation,” the White House spokesperson added. The US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York had earlier unsealed criminal charges against Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, and other executives that linked them to an alleged bribery scheme. On Thursday, the Adani Group strongly refuted bribery allegations made by the US Department of Justice and the US Securities and Exchange Commission against directors of the Adani Green, terming them baseless. In an official statement, Adani Group spokesperson said all legal recourse will be taken. “The US Department of Justice and the US Securities and Exchange Commission against directors of Adani Green are baseless and denied,” the statement read. The group further highlighted a key aspect of the legal proceedings. “As stated by the US Department of Justice itself, ‘The charges in the indictment are allegations and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.’ All possible legal recourse will be sought,” the statement said.

Cleantech SaaS Platform Receives Funding

LogicLadder, a leading cleantech Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, has raised $2.5 million through a funding round. This investment, co-led by Singapore-based private equity company Big Bang Capital and Rainmatter, the investment arm of prominent Indian brokerage Zerodha, will support LogicLadder’s ambition to help businesses accomplish their decarbonization objectives.

Sustainability Cloud: A Holistic Approach

LogicLadder, founded in 2011 by Atindra Chandel and Mayank Pratap Chauhan, provides a comprehensive suite of software solutions that enable businesses to successfully gather, analyze, and exploit environmental and energy data. The company’s primary product, Sustainability Cloud, provides as a central platform for organizations to reduce their environmental footprint while increasing operational efficiency.

Funding Fuels Growth and Innovation

LogicLadder plans to strategically utilize the newly acquired capital to propel its growth trajectory across two key regions: South Asia and North America. This expansion will enable the company to serve a wider clientele and establish a stronger global presence. Additionally, a portion of the funding will be allocated towards bolstering LogicLadder’s tech stack and expanding its product portfolio.

“A significant portion of the fresh funding will be dedicated to developing innovative new product features and augmenting our existing capabilities,” said LogicLadder co-founder and CEO Chauhan in a recent interview with the Economic Times. “This strategic investment ensures that our solutions remain at the forefront of environmental compliance, constantly adapting to the evolving regulatory landscape.”

Investor Confidence in LogicLadder’s Vision

The successful funding round underscores the confidence that prominent investors hold in LogicLadder’s vision and capabilities. Commenting on the development, Dinesh Pai, Head of Investments at Rainmatter, remarked, “Measuring and tracking climate data is a complex and multifaceted undertaking. Most organizations rely on reliable third-party software services to guide them through this journey. LogicLadder stands out as a key provider of sustainability solutions that empower enterprises to make informed decisions regarding their environmental impact.”

Cleantech on the Rise: A Thriving Investment Landscape

LogicLadder’s funding success reflects the burgeoning interest in the cleantech sector from a growing pool of investors. Heightened environmental awareness has fueled a surge in demand for innovative solutions that address climate challenges. This trend is evident in recent funding rounds secured by other Indian cleantech startups.
