Adani Family Office

Adani Family Office

The Adani Family Office was established as the private investment vehicle for the wealth generated by Gautam Adani, founder and chairman of the Adani Group. Since founding the group in the 1990s as a small commodity trading firm, Adani has expanded into the largest port operator in India and a major global coal and renewable energy player. The family's primary holding vehicle is the S.B. Adani Family Trust (SBAFT), which holds the bulk of the family's public equity positions in Adani Group listed companies. The family office's strategy is largely direct — deploying capital into group infrastructure projects across ports, airports, power generation, transmission, renewables, and green hydrogen. Assets include Adani Ports & SEZ, Adani Green Energy, Adani Power, Adani Transmission, and Adani Total Gas. The office also maintains exposure to real estate, including residential and commercial properties in Ahmedabad, New Delhi, Gurgaon, and Dubai. Offshore holdings are managed through a Dubai office at 3606 Oaks Liwa Heights, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, which oversees a portfolio that includes Australian port assets at Abbot Point in Queensland. Team structure is lean and familia — Gautam Adani makes the strategic investment decisions with input from family members including wife Priti Adani (who chairs the Adani Foundation) and sons Karan Adani (Managing Director of Adani Ports) and Jeet Adani (Vice President of Group Editorial). Vinod Adani manages the offshore and international holdings separately. The office does not disclose AUM or total deployment, but based on the family's net worth of over $100 billion (per Forbes, 2025) and controlling stakes in group companies, the pool is estimated in the tens of billions. Philanthropy is conducted through the Adani Foundation, chaired by Priti Adani, which focuses on education, healthcare, and rural development across India. The Adani Family Office is structurally distinct because it operates as a single-family office that is deeply integrated with — yet formally separate from — the Adani Group's corporate treasury. The family office uses SBAFT as its public-market holding vehicle while the offshore Dubai office holds international real estate and other assets outside the corporate structure. This dual architecture allows the family to maintain controlling stakes in publicly traded group companies while shielding international holdings from exchange control and regulatory scrutiny. The office has no external LPs and does not manage third-party capital.
