‘Dream, learn, and build relentlessly’: Gautam Adani’s inspiring message at Adani International School

"Dream Relentlessly: Don’t limit yourself to small ambitions. As young minds, you are in the best position to dream fearlessly. You have the gift of curiosity, the energy to experiment, and the courage to take risks," Mr Adani said, urging students to set ambitious goals for themselves.

Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, delivered an inspiring message, emphasising that dreams are not exclusive to the wealthy but are the reward for those who dare to believe in them and relentlessly pursue their goals with hard work.

The Adani Group chairman opened his speech expressing gratitude for the parents, teachers, and students of Adani International School. He thanked parents for placing their trust in the school to nurture future leaders and praised the educators as the institution’s “silent heroes” for their transformative role.

He highlighted that the school was not a standalone project but an integral part of a larger vision to build holistic communities where world-class education forms a central pillar.

Linking the roots of the school’s vision to the reflective pause offered by the global pandemic of 2020, Mr Adani said the school’s design integrates sustainability, innovation, and open spaces to foster academic excellence and a connection to nature.

Mr Adani recounted stories from his modest upbringing in Banaskantha and Ahmedabad, reflecting on how early life challenges and the core values instilled by his parents—courage, trust, and commitment—profoundly influenced him. He shared how his father’s trust-based business practices and his mother’s resilience in preserving family unity left a lasting impact, shaping the foundational principles that now define the ethos of the Adani Group.

At the age of 16, Mr Adani set out on his entrepreneurial path in Mumbai, armed with limited resources but limitless aspirations. He reflected on the excitement of earning his first commission as a diamond trader, emphasizing the value of perseverance, learning from failures, and the courage to dream big. He openly recognized that while life experiences offered wisdom, formal education enhanced knowledge more rapidly, expressing his deepening admiration for the power of education.

He reminded parents that children inherit values alongside wealth. Mr Adani advocated for instilling resilience, empathy, and service-oriented mindsets while nurturing global citizens connected to India’s heritage. To educators, he reiterated the pivotal role they play in shaping futures, urging them to inspire beyond academics and prepare students for life’s dynamic challenges

Addressing students, Mr Adani described the unprecedented opportunities of modern India. He encouraged them to embrace dreams without limits, pursue relentless learning, and build legacies that uplift society. He stressed that failure is an integral part of success, urging resilience as a defining trait. Adani’s mantra: Dream relentlessly, learn continuously, and build for the greater good.

“Dream Relentlessly: Don’t limit yourself to small ambitions. As young minds, you are in the best position to dream fearlessly. You have the gift of curiosity, the energy to experiment, and the courage to take risks. India stands at the cusp of greatness and it needs visionaries like you — those who dare to think beyond boundaries, challenge the status quo, and find solutions that others might find impossible,” Mr Adani said.

Goading students to learn, Mr Adani set another guiding principle for students. “Learn Relentlessly: The future no longer belongs to the most talented or the strongest. It belongs to those who are willing to learn. Your pace of learning will be your differentiator.”

And lastly, Mr Adani urged students to build and in the process, help others. “Build Relentlessly: Your dreams and your learnings hold meaning only when they build something larger than yourself. Whether for your community, your country, or the world, strive to make a difference. Success is most fulfilling when it uplifts others.”

Concluding his address, Adani shared his aspiration for Adani International School to produce a hundred leaders, innovators, and visionaries. He encouraged students to forge unique paths, push boundaries, and create meaningful change. He dreams that the school will be remembered as a launchpad for remarkable achievements and transformative leadership.
