Gautam Adani uses cricket analogy to talk about his business: ‘We are like T20’

Underscoring the company's philosophy, Gautam Adani said, “My name is Adani. I'm a humble infra company.”

Gautam Adani said that his Adani group has been able to work well owing to improved credit rankings and its infrastructure projects. Calling it a challenging business, Gautam Adani talked about the absence of a planned systemic reform and structural deficiencies in infra-project financing.

Adani Group does this differently, as per Gautam Adani

But on what Adani Group does differently, the billionaire said, "To get good ratings, I tightened disclosure as well as our governance and benchmarked it to the international standard." Underscoring the company's philosophy, he said, “My name is Adani. I'm a humble infra company.”

He added, “Today, we have a balanced portfolio of debt, with 29% domestic banks, 30% global banks, 34% through global bonds and 7% others. The ‘chalta hai’ attitude of development in the infra space, with huge time and cost overruns, is being replaced by a new sense of purpose and urgency.
