Billionaire Gautam Adani has announced that his family will invest ₹60,000 crore in the healthcare sector, aiming to bring about a major transformation. Speaking to top surgeons in Mumbai, Adani emphasized that healthcare in India needs a full-scale “entrepreneurial revolution,” not just gradual changes. He called for innovation driven by technology and empathy.
Launch of Adani Healthcare Temples
As part of this initiative, Adani introduced the concept of “Adani Healthcare Temples” — integrated 1,000-bed hospitals that will first be established in Mumbai and Ahmedabad. These hospitals will focus on combining clinical care, education, and research. The project will be developed in collaboration with the US-based Mayo Clinic and will use artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance medical services.
Global Standards and AI-Powered Ecosystem
Adani said the hospitals will set new benchmarks in affordability, innovation, and scale. The vision includes creating a strong medical ecosystem that merges advanced technology with healthcare delivery. The use of AI will play a key role in diagnostics and operations, making the hospitals globally competitive.
Focus on Systemic Gaps, Not Competition
The healthcare investment comes from the Adani family’s earlier ₹60,000 crore philanthropic pledge for health, education, and skill development. The goal is not to compete with existing hospitals but to address gaps in the system. Adani called for deeper collaboration between medicine, management, and technology.
Special Focus on Spine Health and Infrastructure
Adani highlighted back pain as the top cause of disability in India and described it as a “spinal epidemic.” He urged medical professionals to develop AI-based spinal diagnostics, rural mobile operating units, and next-gen surgical centres. According to him, “We cannot rise if our people cannot stand.”
Modular, Scalable, and Pandemic-Ready Systems
Adani stressed the need for healthcare systems that are modular, scalable, and ready to respond to future pandemics. The planned hospitals will be designed to adapt quickly in emergencies and to serve diverse populations across the country.Part of Broader Diversification Strategy
This major healthcare push marks the Adani Group’s shift beyond its core infrastructure and energy sectors. It fits within a larger $100 billion investment plan over five years, which aims to build what Adani calls “the spine of India’s rise.”
