Ambani-Adani’s Friendship |
November 25 2014 |
India’s two top industrialists Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani are writing a new tale of friendship. And the unsaid credit to script the tale goes to none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Until 2014, relations between Ambani and Adani were nowhere close to what can be called warm, and one of the reasons for this is said to be Anil Ambani’s presence in the power sector. But in the recent days, a new relationship seems to be taking seed between the two. The beginning happened when Mukesh and Nita Ambani attended Gautam Adani’s elder son’s wedding in Goa. In return, Adani was especially invited for the inauguration of Reliance Foundation’s H N Hospital by the Prime Minister in Mumbai. Before this, the two had met in the US in September, when Indian High Commissioner to the US Jaishankar had hosted a dinner party in New York’s Pierre Hotel. Adani-Ambani’s common friend, who is also known for his close ties with Sangh, worked towards getting the two industrialists together. It is the same non-resident businessman who recently got Mukesh Ambani to meet Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari at the Ritz Carlton in Washington DC recently. The credit for getting Gautam Adani a loan of Rs 5,000 crore from State Bank of India for his coal mines in Australia goes to Modi, during his recent visit to Australia, he invited SBI’s Chairperson Arundhati Bhattacharya with him because Adani was also accompanying him. |
