Adani Foundation honours Gautam Adani's 63rd birthday with record-breaking blood donation drive

Adani Foundation collects 27,661 blood units across 206 cities, breaking last year's record to honor Gautam Adani's 63rd birthday.

"Your generosity will touch countless lives. - Dr. Priti Adani, Chairperson of Adani Foundation"

Ahmedabad, June 25

To commemorate the 63rd birthday of Group Chairman Gautam Adani on June 24, the Adani Foundation--the social welfare and development arm of the Adani Group--organised a nationwide mega blood donation drive across 206 cities in 21 states and two union territories, surpassing last year's record of 25,282 units.

Conducted under the stewardship of the Adani Healthcare team, the initiative saw overwhelming participation from Adani Group employees and partners.

With 27,661 units (about 11,100 litres) collected, this drive stands to benefit over 83,000 patients, offering life-saving support through multiple blood components--Whole Blood, PCV, Platelet Concentrates, Plasma, FFP, Cryoprecipitate, and Albumin.

"I deeply thank our Adani Parivaar for stepping forward and making this act of seva count," said Dr. Priti Adani, Chairperson of the Adani Foundation. "Your generosity will touch countless lives."

The blood donation drive was conducted with the Red Cross blood banks and government hospitals.

It was supported by a team of over 3,000 doctors, paramedics, data operators, and administrative staff from across the Adani Group.

The drive went global for the first time as blood donation camps were organized at Colombo West International Terminal (CWIT) Port, Colombo and Dar-es-Salam Port, Tanzania with over 100 donors participating in the noble cause.

The exercise has been part of an annual tradition since 2011 to mark the birthday of Shri Adani. The drive honours Gautam Adani's guiding philosophy of "Seva hi Sadhana hai" (service is worship) through the Foundation's community-led action and initiatives.

The non-profit arm of the Adani Group remains committed to an all-inclusive, equitable and sustainable development of the communities.

This is truly inspiring! When corporates take up social causes at this scale, it creates real impact. 27,000+ units can save so many lives. More business houses should follow Adani's example of giving back to society. 👏

While the initiative is commendable, I wish they'd share more details about how the blood reaches rural areas. Most corporate blood drives focus on cities while villages face acute shortages. Hope they address this gap next year.

"Seva hi Sadhana hai" - what a beautiful philosophy! My cousin works at Adani Ports and participated in this drive. The company culture of service is genuinely practiced, not just PR. More power to such initiatives!

Impressive numbers! But I wonder - does the foundation track how many lives are actually saved through this blood? Sharing those stories would make the impact more tangible and encourage more donors next year.

As someone who needed emergency blood transfusion last year, I can't stress how crucial such drives are. Thank you Adani Foundation and all donors! You're real-life heroes without capes. ❤️
