Through its various initiatives, the foundation impacts over 7 million people across 19 states every year.

Born in 1965 into a traditional Gujarati family, Priti Adani was raised with strong values of education and community service. She pursued a degree in dental surgery from Government Dental College in Ahmedabad and initially worked as a dentist. She married Gautam Adani in 1986 at the age of 21, when he was 24.

Her philanthropic journey began in 1996 when she co-founded the Adani Foundation. She later took on a leadership role as its chairperson, working towards bridging the urban-rural divide in India. One of her early contributions to education was establishing a school in Mundra in 2001, following the Bhuj earthquake.
