Inspiring Speech of Gautam Adani To Students

M. S. Thirumalai, Ph.D.

Abstract

On January 8, 2023, The Hindu newspaper published a very interesting and encouraging report with the heading “Gautam Adani regrets not completing college education”. Mr. Adani spoke at the 75th year celebrations of Vidya Mandir Trust Palanpur in Gujarat. The speech was encouraging to all, especially to young students in rural schools. Adani Group is the largest solar power company, “largest airport and sea port operator in India, nation's largest integrated energy player, country's second-largest cement manufacturer and a conglomerate with market capitalisation of over $225 billion” (https://www.thehindu.com/business/Industry/gautam-adani-says-regrets-not-completing-college-education/article66353089.ece?cx_testId=11&cx_testVariant=cx_1&cx_artPos=0&cx_experienceId=EXKWL3XAQS9E#cxrecs_s).

I wanted to find out how 12th grade students in a Matric-Higher Secondary School (who will qualify to go to college) respond to his inspiring speech.

The Matric-Higher Secondary School (name withheld) is located in a low-income locality of a town in Tamilnadu. However, students from other middle income groups also attend this school.

This is a co-educational School. Boys and girls are almost 50/50 attending this school. Islamic Students, Hindu students, students from scheduled communities and students from Denotified Tribe attend this school

The above cited article is printed and handed over to the students. 29 Students responded. A brief qualitative analysis of the students is offered.

Keywords: Gautam Adani, inspiring speech, Vidya Mandir

Introduction

""First-generation entrepreneurs mostly start with a unique advantage — the advantage of having nothing to lose. This belief is their strength. In my own mind, this was liberating. I had no legacy to follow — but I had the opportunity to create a legacy." Gautam Adani
