Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said that I have known Gaurav since his investment banker days. He said he wanted to become an entrepreneur and I supported him. He has not only built a fine Financial Banking Services business focusing on the underprivileged in semi-urban and rural India, but has also made valuable contributions to the Adani Group. I am very happy that a credible investor like Bain Capital is now stepping in and will help the business grow manifold from here on.
