Adani Launches New Campaign Amidst US Indictment

Adani Group unveils a new campaign focused on human-interest stories, seeking to rebound from US bribery allegations. The campaign highlights the positive impact of its infrastructure projects on Indian communities.
New Delhi, Dec 19 (PTI) Billionaire Gautam Adani's conglomerate on Thursday unveiled a new version of its 'Hum Karke Dikhate Hai' campaign as it looks to bounce back from the damning indictment by the US authorities in an alleged bribery case.
"Building on the success of its previous edition, this multi-media, multi-platform campaign moves beyond the conventional corporate strategy of emphasizing statistics and figures to focus on inspiring human-interest stories. These narratives showcase the profound, positive impact of Adani's infrastructure projects on the lives of millions of Indians," the group said in a statement.
On November 20, 2024, the United States Department of Justice and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an indictment and a civil complaint, respectively, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, against chairman Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani and key executive Vneet Jaain.
The charges relate to allegations of securities fraud, wire fraud and violation of the SEC guidelines that led to materially false and misleading statements in the bond offering documents of AGEL with respect to anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies.
"The inaugural film of the campaign, 'Pehle Pankha Phir Bijli' (First Fan, Then Electricity), developed by Ogilvy India, tells the heartwarming story of a young boy who, against all odds and facing ridicule, believes a fan can bring electricity to his village. His steadfast faith is rewarded when he witnesses a majestic Adani wind turbine generator powering and illuminating his entire village with clean energy. This emotional narrative not only emphasizes the power of human conviction but also reflects Adani's unwavering commitment to building a bright future for all," the statement said.
The film marks the beginning of a multi-part series with the hashtag #HKKDH that the Group will roll out in the coming months across broadcast, digital and social media platforms, with similar narratives and highlighting the impact of its initiatives.
Pranav Adani, Director, Adani Enterprises Ltd, said, "This campaign truly embodies the essence of the Adani Group. While we are acknowledged for our size, speed and scale, what distinguishes this initiative is its power to touch hearts. It reflects our unwavering commitment to harnessing infrastructure as a catalyst for meaningful change. By emphasizing the human stories behind our businesses, we aim to create deep emotional connections and underscore our dedication to driving positive change in the lives of millions of Indians."
Piyush Pandey, Chief Advisor for Ogilvy India, said, "This is a touching film about an important benefit to the consumers. It is not a chest-thumping statement of the technological expertise of Adani Renewables. It captures the human-first belief of Adani.
