Ahmedabad, Sep 24 (NationPress) The report from Hindenburg Research was not just a critique aimed at the Adani Group; it represented a bold challenge to the aspirations of Indian businesses to pursue global dreams, stated Gautam Adani, the Chairman of the Adani Group, on Wednesday.
In his letter to shareholders, the billionaire emphasized that January 24, 2023, will be a day remembered for awakening India’s markets to headlines that echoed well beyond Dalal Street.
“For your Group, it signified the onset of a trial that tested every aspect of our resilience. It raised questions about our governance, our purpose, and even the fundamental belief that Indian firms could lead globally in terms of scale and ambition,” Gautam Adani asserted.
Recently, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued a decisive and clear verdict rejecting the allegations against the Adani Group and its executives.
“With SEBI's definitive statement, the truth has triumphed, or as we have consistently maintained -- only the truth will prevail. What was intended to undermine us has instead reinforced the very foundation of our organization,” remarked the Adani Group Chairman.
He elaborated that this moment transcends mere regulatory approval; it serves as a significant validation of the transparency, governance, and purpose with which your company has consistently operated. The real proof of our resilience lies not in mere words, but in our performance during this time,” he noted.
“What was designed to harm us has instead transformed into a critical turning point, strengthening our foundations, honing our ambitions, and reaffirming our duty to build with scale, speed, and resilience for India's future,” Gautam Adani added.
Despite the turbulence, “I remained acutely aware of the concerns it sparked among our investors, lenders, suppliers, and partners.”
“It was your trust that provided us stability, your patience that kept us going, and your belief that empowered us. For this remarkable support, I am deeply thankful,” highlighted Gautam Adani.
The Chairman of the Adani Group stated that looking ahead, the Group aims to enhance governance standards that inspire trust across markets and regulators; promote innovation and sustainability, setting benchmarks not only in India but worldwide; and intensify efforts on nation-building, investing in infrastructure that fuels India's long-term growth narrative.
“Let this moment not only restore confidence but also reaffirm what your company represents - resilience in adversity, integrity in action, and an unwavering commitment to constructing a brighter future for India and the globe,” concluded Gautam Adani.
