Ahmedabad, June 25, 2024 - The Adani Foundation, the community engagement arm of the Adani Group, organized a mega blood donation drive across India to mark the 62nd birthday of the Group’s chairman Shri Gautam Adani on June 24.

Their dedication, year after year, not only demonstrates their compassion but also reinforces our collective commitment to serve those in need."

  

The drive was organized in partnership with Red Cross blood banks and government hospital blood banks. A team of more than 2,000 doctors, paramedics, data operators and members of the management and administration departments played a key role in this drive to make it a big success.

  

Since 2011, the Adani Foundation has been organizing a blood donation drive every year to commemorate the birthday of Mr Gautam Adani.
