Gautam Adani’s Statement On the Green Talks Event
The proceedings of the event were telecasted live on YouTube and various internal channels for the employees of the Adani Group. Speaking about the initiative, Gautam Adani has mentioned that today, the ability of a company to learn makes it the biggest differentiator in society, and the best way to learn about technology is to set up a startup. The Adani Group has always welcomed startups to use innovative solutions to bring about a complete transformation of the nation, even during times of Adani investigations.
One of the biggest values that the Adani group admires in entrepreneurs is courage, and the youngsters have shown courage in setting up their startups. Their relentless spirit is what drives the startups to achieve success, and this is exactly what India needs at the moment. This is also the reason why there are so many unicorns in India. It also provides the people of India with a strong reason to celebrate.
