Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani's son Jeet Adani and Diva Jaiman Shah are all set to get married on Friday, February 7, in Ahmedabad. Gautam Adani, while attending the Maha Kumbh festivities, said that the wedding would be a traditional and humble affair.
The Adani Group conglomerate is based out of Ahmedabad.
Before the wedding, the couple has embarked on a journey to make this big moment of their lives more than ceremonies, looking beyond the shimmer and glitter of the moment.
Jeet Adani At Shark Tank
The couple took a different approach.
First stop; Shark Tank India. Jeet Adani, who is the Director of Adani Airports made headlines as he appeared on the fame television reality show.
In the show, Jeet Adani has a unique pitch. At Shark Tank, Jeet Adani reiterated that causes associated with persons with disabilities or PWD and social impact are a major part of his work.
While speaking to the sharks, he underscored that every human being is more than just disabilities of a physical and mental nature, and has a right to life with dignity.
Adani directed his influence and resources to the upliftment of the marginalised.
Giving a glimpse into his personal life, Jeet Adani shared that he grew up with a deep sense of empathy and social responsibility, shaped mostly by his grandparents.
His grandmother, who taught him the essence of Seva (selfless service) was his biggest inspiration to work towards being inclusive in a society.
His greatest motivation to strive for social inclusion came from his grandmother, who taught him the value of Seva (selfless service).
Mitti Cafe Visit
From there, we go to Mitti Cafe. The bride and groom-to-be Jeet Adani and his Diva Shah recently visited Mitti Cafe, a non-profit supporting employment for individuals with disabilities.
During the visit, Adani extended his invitation to the employees of the cafe.
Inspired by Alina, founder of Mitti Cafe, which employs differently-abled individuals, Jeet Adani played a pivotal role in helping Alina set up a cafe at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
The Mumbai Airport is currently operated by the Adani Group.
Jeet Adani took his commitment further and vowed to employ 5 per cent of differently-abled individuals across the Adani Group.
To further raise awareness and drive inclusion in the corporate sector, the Adani group launched Green X Talks.
Mangal Seva: A Ray Of Hope

Through the mission 500 women would get Rs 10 lakh annually, enabling them to embark on their new journeys with confidence and dignity.
