Chairman and Founder of the Adani Group, Mr. Gautam Adani, announced a landmark investment of Rs. 60,000 crore (US$ 6.99 billion) in India’s healthcare sector, calling for an “entrepreneurial revolution” rather than mere evolution. Addressing leading surgeons in Mumbai, he unveiled plans to establish Adani Healthcare Temples, integrated 1,000-bed hospitals initially in Mumbai and Ahmedabad, developed in partnership with the United States (US) -based Mayo Clinic. These hospitals will leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to combine clinical care, academic training, and research, aiming to set global standards in affordability, innovation, and scale. The healthcare initiative forms part of the family’s earlier Rs. 60,000 crore (US$ 6.99 billion) pledge towards health, education, and skills improvement, focusing on filling systemic gaps rather than competing with existing players.
Highlighting India’s pressing health challenges, he cited the country’s “spinal epidemic,” with back pain as the leading cause of disability, emphasising the need for advanced spinal diagnostics, mobile rural operating theatres, and next-generation surgical centres. He called on medical professionals to join this transformation, underscoring the importance of converging technology, management, and medicine. This strategic healthcare push complements the Adani Group’s broader diversification plans beyond infrastructure and energy, forming part of a Rs. 8,58,200 crore (US$ 100 billion) capital expenditure programme over the next five years to build what he describes as the “spine of India’s rise.”
