November 11, 2026: Gautam Adani, one of the world’s top billionaires and founder and chairman of the Adani Group, will hand over the reins of his business empire to a select team of four family members—his two sons (Karan and Jeet) and two nephews (Pranav and Sagar). Called the G2 leadership, the 64-year-old Gautam Adani will give this team full control at an appropriate time in the coming years.

The next generation does not inherit leadership. They inherit the responsibility to earn it. I expect them to challenge our assumptions, think on a scale larger than ours and move with greater speed, while having the patience to build businesses that may take decades to mature,” Gautam Adani told Fortune India exclusively.

Pranav Adani, 48, is the son of Gautam Adani’s elder brother Vinod Adani; Karan Adani, 39, is Gautam Adani’s elder son; Sagar Adani, 32, is the son of Gautam Adani’s brother Rajesh Adani; and Jeet Adani, 29, is Gautam Adani’s younger son.

Commenting on the qualities he expected from his successors, Gautam Adani said they must have the courage to enter difficult sectors, the wisdom to learn from those around them, and the humility to realise the institution will always be bigger than any individual or family.
