India's growth lies in its heartland: Adani Enterprises Director Pranav Adani
India's growth story will be incomplete unless the country's heartland is brought into the economic mainstream, said Adani Enterprises Director Pranav Adani while speaking on the first foundation day of the Chintan Research Foundation."India is not only Delhi or the capital cities, but India lives in the heartland, that is why I said in my speech that whether it is Ranchi, Raipur, Bhubaneswar or the Northeast, what really matters is that this is where the real India lives, and this is where we want them to come into our focus, into our central economy," Adani told highlighted the importance of inclusive development, calling India's 1.4 billion citizens the country's greatest asset. "India is in a very great situation right now. The 1.4 billion people that we have are our real asset... 50% of the economy is engaged in the growth of the GDP, and the other 50% is passive. Now that has to really come into focus and I think that's when the real Indian growth story will happen and I'm very optimistic. We as a group are very optimistic," Adani added. The remarks came as part of a broader statement of intent from the newly launched Chintan Research Foundation, which Adani said would focus on three critical areas: climate change, trade, and geopolitics."I feel that a research foundation has a lot of responsibilities. Like I said in my speech, the Chintan Research Foundation will focus on three things -- climate change, trade and geopolitics," he foundation is expected to serve as a think tank and strategic platform aligned with India's developmental priorities. With energy transitions, global trade dynamics, and geopolitical realignments reshaping the economic landscape, Adani's emphasis on a focused research agenda comes at a pivotal call to action for India's heartland reflects a growing belief among business leaders: that India's long-term growth will depend not just on its metros, but on unlocking the potential of its smaller cities and rural belts."This is where the real India lives," Adani said. "And this is where we want them to come into our focus, into our central economy."

Pranav Adani Explains Think Tank CRF's Role In Journey Towards Viksit Bharat
New Delhi: Adani Enterprises Director Pranav Adani congratulated the think tank Chintan Research Foundation (CRF) on celebrating its Foundation Day on Thursday, and expressed hope that the CRF will be a key motivator in shaping policies of India towards a Viksit Bharat. "The three fundamental things that Chintan Research Foundation will take care of and will do research based on evidence are geopolitical issues, maintaining relations with our neighbours, and trade, economy, and energy transition," Mr Adani told NDTV at the event held in Delhi. During his address, he said India is a chorus of voices and the real India is not in Delhi, but lies in the heartlands. "I believe that India is not just Delhi. India lives in its heartland. India lives in Ranchi. India lives in Bhubaneswar. India lives in the North East. So, we are going to bring all those voices really into the mainstream. That's what we endeavor to do," Mr Adani said. On Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani's vision that growth must not be measured just by numbers, but also by how many lives have been touched, the Adani Enterprises Director said, "It is very important, as our Chairman says, it doesn't just depend on numbers. All the time, you don't get measured only by numbers, but you get measured by the amount of lives you touch, the impact that you have. So, this is something that the Adani Group endeavors to do." He said some of the challenges that India needs to overcome towards becoming a developed nation by 2047 include infrastructure growth, energy transition, defence, and how the country's citizens work together and how the country collaborates with its neighbours. About the CRF, he said it is very important to have robust think tanks - think tanks that are purely research and evidence-based. "So that is the role that Chintan Research Foundation will have on the economy in particular - supply chain, energy transition and so on," he noted, adding the CRF must imagine and re-imagine the role that India can play in shaping the future, especially of the Global South. India's industries are driving economic growth, innovation, and global expansion. The CRF integrates industry insights into policy research to address regulatory challenges and enhance competitiveness. By bridging industry and governance, it shapes research for a stronger, more resilient economy.

"Shouldn't worry, all our assets abroad are safe": Pranav Adani amid Israel-Iran tensions
By Vishu Adhana New Delhi [India], June 19 (ANI): Amid ongoing conflict in West Asia, Adani Enterprises Director Pranav Adani on Wednesday assured that the group's overseas assets remain secure. 'There are concerns, but luckily, all our assets abroad are safe. We shouldn't worry about it,' he told reporters on the sidelines of the Chintan Research Foundation's foundation day event. His remarks came as markets react to the worsening geopolitical situation in the Middle East. Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone fell for the seventh straight session, slipping 2.5% to Rs 1,338. Among the key concerns is the Haifa Port in northern Israel, which the Adani Group acquired in early 2023. The strategic facility, a crucial Indian commercial asset in the region, is operating under the shadow of regional conflict, particularly amid fears of escalation between Israel and Iran. Speaking at ANI, Pranav Adani also outlined the vision of the Chintan Research Foundation, which he said will focus on 'climate change, geopolitical issues and economic entry' as its initial areas of research. 'Evidence-based research has many responsibilities. These three pillars will be our starting point,' he said. He emphasised the need to focus on India's heartland. 'India is not only Delhi or the capital cities. The real India lives in Ranchi, Raipur, Bhubaneswar and the Northeast... That's where inclusive growth should be centred,' he said. CRF President Shishir Priyadarshi said the foundation aims to tackle hard truths and propose solutions with a focus on zero-emission goals, inclusive prosperity, and the Global South's emergence. 'The most challenging thoughts lead to the most rewarding destinations,' he said. (ANI)
