Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani has identified four family members as the next-generation leaders who will take charge of the conglomerate as part of a succession roadmap. The team comprises his sons Karan and Jeet Adani, and nephews Pranav and Sagar Adani. The four-member leadership structure is referred to as the G2 team.
In an exclusive interview with Fortune India, Gautam Adani said the next generation would assume full control of the group at an appropriate time in the coming years. He said leadership would come with the responsibility of strengthening the businesses and building on the foundations established by the current generation.
“The next generation does not inherit leadership. They inherit the responsibility to earn it,” he told the publication.
Four leaders, distinct business responsibilities
The four successors already hold senior positions across the Adani Group and manage different business portfolios.
Pranav Adani: The eldest of the four, Pranav is a Director of Adani Enterprises and Managing Director of Agro, Oil and Gas. His portfolio includes real estate, urban infrastructure, city gas distribution, sports and natural resources. He also oversees the group’s brand, communications and branding functions.
Karan Adani: Gautam Adani’s elder son is Managing Director of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ). He is closely involved in ports, logistics, transportation and cement businesses, along with management decisions across the group. APSEZ operates a network of ports and terminals in India and international markets.
Sagar Adani: An Executive Director of Adani Green Energy, Sagar oversees the group’s energy portfolio, including Adani Green Energy, Adani Energy Solutions, Adani Power and Adani New Industries. He is also involved in the group’s finance function, strategic financial relationships and capital allocation.
Jeet Adani: Gautam Adani’s younger son is a Director of Adani Airport Holdings. He oversees the group’s airport business and is involved in emerging sectors such as artificial intelligence, data centres, defence, petrochemicals, copper and aluminium.
A conglomerate spanning multiple sectors
The Adani Group has expanded from commodity trading into ports, airports, power, renewable energy, logistics, cement, natural gas and other businesses. It operates across more than two dozen business verticals.
According to the Fortune India report, the group recorded revenue of nearly ₹3 lakh crore in FY26, while the combined market capitalisation of its listed companies exceeded ₹17 lakh crore.
The succession plan places the G2 team at the centre of the group’s future growth strategy. Gautam Adani has said he expects the four successors to challenge existing assumptions, move faster and develop businesses with a long-term outlook.
Focus on leadership and long-term growth
Gautam Adani has emphasised the importance of courage, learning and humility in the next generation of leaders. He expects them to make the institution stronger rather than simply preserve the existing business structure.
The four successors are expected to work together on major strategic decisions as they take on greater leadership responsibilities. The transition will mark a significant generational shift for one of India’s largest business conglomerates.
