Our special issue this month is ‘Employers Of The Future’ — a unique study conducted with our partners Work Universe to identify some of the best practices among organisations who are on a mission to ready themselves for the future needs of their employees. Our cover story this issue is a peek into the mind of the one man whose ambition keeps growing bigger with each new milestone. Whom the whole corporate world is trying to decipher. Importantly, the big challenges before the first-generation group, including the ballooning debt, assimilation of massive acquisitions, entry into new businesses and transitioning of old businesses — all happening at the same time. Gautam Adani patiently explains the group’s rapidfire entry into the nearly two dozen businesses that appear totally unrelated to the outside world. From ports to air-ports; thermal, solar and wind power to cement; and edible oils and FMCG to city gas distribution.
