The Adani Scholarship Details

• The Adani Accelerated Leadership Program Scholarship will be provided after an application process and careful scrutiny based on AALP's leadership measures.

• Six first-year students will receive it this year.

• Next year onwards, the number of recipients will increase to encompass both first and second-year students.

• At the launch, Subhashrie R. Venkatraj made a public offer of the scholarship to students, highlighting that the program aims to create future leaders by way of financial and mentorship support.

Addressing the event, Jeet Adani Director of Adani Airport highlighted the role of education and business collaboration in nation-building. With GDP per capita increasing and demand for infrastructure growing at an unprecedented pace, the intersection of technology and infrastructure where AI and digitalisation transform the way we manage assets is truly disruptive. India is on the cusp of a giant leap thanks to robust public-private partnerships, domestic capital and foreign investment, Adani said.

This was followed by a panel discussion and fireside chat with students on topics such as early leadership opportunities, innovation, customer-centric technology, infrastructure convergence and purposeful careers. IIM Lucknow and Adani Group are also exploring possible future partnerships in education and leadership development and more details will be announced in the months to come.
