Gautam Shantilal Adani (born 24 June 1962) is an Indian billionaire businessman who is the founder and chairman of the Adani Group, a multinational conglomerate involved in port development and operations in India.[2][3]

Adani has been described as being close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and to his ruling Bharatiya Janata Party government.[3][4][5] This has led to allegations of cronyism,[6] as his firms have won many energy and infrastructure contracts in India and abroad after Modi became the Prime Minister of India.[7] In January 2023, the American short selling activist firm Hindenburg Research accused Adani of stock manipulation and fraud.[8] In January 2024, the Supreme Court resolved the Adani Group stocks dispute arising from Hindenburg Research's allegations. The Court dismissed requests for an SIT or CBI investigation.[9][10] Adani's and his family's fortune has plummeted by over 50%[11][12][13][14] to an estimated US$54.2 billion, as of October 2023, while falling to the 23rd place on the Forbes Real Time Billionaires list.[15] As of February 2024, his fortune was estimated to be US$82.3 billion, placing him at the 16th place on the Forbes Real Time Billionaires list.[16]

In 2022, Times Magazine included him in the 100 most influential people in the world.[17]
