Additionally, the funds will support the establishment of advanced global skill academies, offering assured employability for individuals upon completion of their training. The wedding ceremony, held on Friday, was a low-key affair at Ahmedabad’s Shantigram, a private residential complex owned by the Adani family. The event, described by sources as “simple and traditional,” was attended by close family members and friends, with no celebrities in attendance. The couple followed traditional Jain and Gujarati customs, reflecting the family’s cultural roots.
Following the ceremony, Gautam Adani shared heartfelt photos from the event on social media. He expressed his gratitude for the blessings showered upon the couple, writing, “With the blessings of Almighty God, Jeet and Diva got married today (Friday). It was a small and extremely private function, so we could not invite all the well-wishers even if we wanted to, for which I apologise.” Adani’s younger son Jeet Adani, 28, is currently a director at Adani Airports, the division overseeing the group’s airport business. An engineering graduate from the University of Pennsylvania, Jeet has been a part of the Adani Group since 2019, initially working in the conglomerate’s CFO office. Diva Shah, his new wife, is the daughter of Jaimin Shah, a diamond merchant and co-owner of C Dinesh and Co Pvt Ltd, a diamond manufacturing firm with business interests in Surat and Mumbai.
