Gautam Adani reveals Dhirubhai Ambani is his ‘Role Model’ and shares his biggest regret
Billionaire Gautam Adani said he considers Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) founder Dhirubhai Ambani a role model and his son Mukesh Ambani “a friend”. The statement by the chairman and founder of Adani Enterprises comes at a time when both groups are at loggerheads in several sectors.
“Dhirubhai is a role model, an inspiration for us,” he said in an exclusive interview with India TV channel. “Mukesh bhai is a very good friend of mine. I respect him a lot. He gave a new direction to Reliance with Jio, technology, and retail apart from his traditional business of petrochemicals. He has contributed a lot to the progress of the country, Mr. Adani said.

Gautam Adani is now starting to work in another business dominated by Mukesh Ambani instead of his traditional business, while Reliance Industries is also going to step into the green energy business dominated by Gautam Adani.
Asked whether he celebrated becoming India’s richest man last year by toppling Mukesh Ambani, he said, “I never got trapped by these numbers.”
The biggest regret of Gautam Adani
In addition to an India TV interview, Adani recently spoke about the biggest regret of his life at an event in Gujarat. Speaking at the 75th year celebrations of Vidya Mandir Trust Palanpur, Adani got emotional while reminiscing his childhood.
Adani said “I still remember the day when I made my first deal with a Japanese buyer. I made a commission of INR 10,000. This was the beginning of his journey as an entrepreneur. He said that another question I am often asked is whether I have any regrets that I could not go to college.
Reflecting on my life and the different turns it has taken, I believe that I would have benefited if I had completed my college education.” Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, with assets of about $ 117 billion, has recently made it to the third place in the list of richest people, beating many of the world’s billionaires.
