Towering on India’s industrial scene, Gautam Adani has made repeated large charitable pledges that make news and inspire popular hope. He said in June 2022 a ₹60,000 crore donation meant to support skill development, education, and healthcare all throughout the country. Still, the clear results of this dedication are elusive. Adani recently promised ₹2,000 crore to build 20 schools in joint with GEMS Education in February 2025. Under his control, media outlets under his sway often magnify this pattern of high-profile pronouncements, which begs issues regarding the genuineness and fulfillment of these pledges. Adani’s enormous commercial success contrasted with his seeming passivity on his humanitarian fronts clouds public confidence and emphasizes the urgent requirements of India’s underprivileged sections.

The US indictment against Gautam Adani
Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, and six associates have been indicted by a US Federal Court in Brooklyn under the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. This is seen as a warning to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi due to his balancing act between the US, Russia, and China, especially after his participation in the BRICS summit. Adani, close to Modi, has dismissed the charges, stating they make him stronger. While journalist Sucheta Dalal predicts severe repercussions, some believe Modi’s ties with Donald Trump could help resolve the matter if Trump returns to power, restoring normalcy.
Gautam Adani to be Arrested for US Bribery and Fraud Scandal
The Adani Group, led by Gautam Adani, is in the crosshairs of a bribery and corruption case in the United States, with it increasingly likely that arrest warrants might be issued. Investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York are looking into claims of unlawful payments to officials abroad. The move comes after a Hindenburg Research report accused Adani of the crime of stock manipulation and fraud. Between criticism of the regulatory slack by SEBI, under Madhabi Puri Buch’s leadership, and its corporate governance and political connections, the case bodes ill for global markets and geopolitics.
