The Adani Group, headquartered in Ahmedabad, India, was founded by Gautam Adani in the year 1988. A diversified group, its businesses included airport and sea management, mining, food, natural gas, weapons, infrastructure, transmission, and electricity generation.

In January 2023, Hindenburg Research, a New York based investment firm, in its report titled, “Adani Group: How The World's 3rd Richest Man Is Pulling The Largest Con In Corporate History”, accused the founder and the group of manipulating the stock price.

Following this, Adani Group’s stocks plummeted by over fifty percent to an appraised US $50.2 billion as of March 2023 and Gautam Adani’s ranking on the Forbes Real Time Billionaires List fell to 24th place from 3rd.
