Gautam Adani's 63rd Birthday marked by 'record-breaking' blood donation drive

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 to commemorate the 63rd birthday of Group Chairman Gautam Adani on June 24. On the day 27,661 units of blood were collected, surpassing last year’s record of 25,282 units.

Conducted under the Adani Healthcare team’s stewardship, the initiative saw overwhelming participation from Adani Group employees and partners. The 27,661 units (about 11,100 litres) collected will 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," she said. The drive was conducted in partnership 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.

For the first time, the drive went global as blood donation camps were organised at Colombo West International Terminal (CWIT) Port, Colombo and also at 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 Adani.
