Gautam Adani, India’s second-richest man with a $93.5 billion net worth, once narrowly escaped death not once but twice.
Born in Ahmedabad in 1962, Adani, who now heads the influential Adani Group, rose from modest beginnings. In 1998, he and associate Shantilal Patel were abducted in Ahmedabad; bandits ambushed their car and demanded a $1.5-2 million ransom before their release.
