Entrepreneurs Gautam Adani

AHMEDABAD: Entrepreneurs Gautam Adani and the late Dhirubhai Ambani have more in common than just home state Gujarat — the former shares with the Reliance patriarch the art of correctly reading India’s political tea leaves.

It is common knowledge that bureaucrats and politicians have to be kept in good humour if entrepreneurs have to achieve what they aim for, even when what they do is perfectly legal.

But only a few succeed at this, the trick lying in how one approaches the powerful. Even seasoned businessmen such as Lakshmi Mittal and Ratan Tata indulge in the occasional outburst against the bureaucracy for inordinate delays. But not Gautam Adani, despite facing similar hurdles.

The 48-year old may appear soft, but plays hardball. If all goes as planned, by 2020, the matriculate’s ventures would produce 20,000 MW of power, handle 200 million tonnes of cargo at his port in Mundra and mine 200 million tonnes of coal and other ores.

Adani, who started dealing in diamonds in Mumbai in 1980 has come to be worth more than Rs 30,000 crore in three decades. He did not make his money from the fancy 21st century businesses such as software or telecom, like NR Narayana Murthy of Infosys or Sunil Mittal at Bharti Airtel.

Instead, the burly Adani ventured into what merchants during the Chola empire a thousand years ago and the British East India Company did: Build ports to facilitate trade. It did not require great technical knowledge, or massive funds. All that was needed was skills to persuade the bureaucracy to allot land and guide policies.

"If you look at the group, there is nothing innovative," says Sanjay Gupta, former chief executive, infrastructure, at the Adani group, who brought some method to the madness of making money at Adani Enterprises, the group holding company.

The company, founded with a capital of Rs 5 lakh in 1988 to trade, manages ports, develops real estate, produces electricity, trades in agricultural commodities and explores oil. In a matter of months, it would have raised Rs 5,500 crore, including the current share sale to funds
