Gautam Adani calls Sharad Pawar mentor

Industrialist and Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani on Sunday (December 28, 2029) described Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar as his “mentor” while inaugurating the Sharadchandra Pawar Centre for Excellence in Artificial Intelligence in Maharashtra’s Baramati region.

“Beyond his knowledge, it is his wisdom, affection, and empathy that leave the strongest imprint. What Pawar saheb has achieved here is more than local development. By strengthening co-operatives, encouraging entrepreneurship, building educational institutions, and establishing industry policy, he has turned Baramati into the living blueprint for Bharat to learn from,” Mr. Adani said.

During the inauguration, Mr. Adani and Vidya Pratishthan, the Baramati-based educational trust associated with the Pawar family, signed an MoU, under which the Adani Group will support the research and development, placements and related initiatives at the AI centre. The centre will provide technology and innovative solutions with a focus on rural development and agriculture.
