Diva & Jeet Adani Celebrate First Wedding Anniversary with Divyang Women

A promise placed before celebrations: Adani Mangal Seva completes one year of dignity and opportunity for 500 divyang women

Editor’s Synopsis

Announced on 5 February 2025, Adani Mangal Seva reflects Diva and Jeet Adani’s decision to turn their wedding celebrations into a pledge of social security for divyang women.
In its first year, the initiative fulfilled its commitment to support 500 divyang women, each with ₹10 lakh Fixed Deposit, to ensure monthly income and long-term financial stability.
Anchored by the Adani Foundation and inspired by Gautam Adani’s philosophy of Seva Hi Saadhna Hai, Adani Mangal Seva places dignity, continuity and empowerment at the heart of philanthropy.

Ahmedabad, 5 February 2026: Thursday evening marked a moment of reflection, continuity and fulfilment on the Belvedere Club lawns in Shantigram, as Adani Mangal Seva completed one year since its inception. The occasion echoed a choice made by Diva and Jeet Adani, ahead of their wedding on 7 February 2025, to let purpose guide a personal milestone, anchoring celebrations in service. More than a commemorative moment, the gathering affirmed that a commitment made quietly had been fully honoured.

What began as a personal pledge has grown into a structured social security programme, providing 500 divyang women each year with dignity, stability and assurance.

Anchored by the Adani Foundation, the social welfare and development arm of the Adani Group, Adani Mangal Seva supports divyang women aged 25 to 40, identified by project partner Youth for Jobs and holding Unique Disability ID (UDID) cards.

Under the Adani Mangal Seva initiative, each beneficiary receives a ₹10 lakh Fixed Deposit, created in partnership with State Bank of India (SBI) as the banking partner. The structure provides assured monthly income, with access to the principal amount after 10 years, ensuring long-term financial stability and security.

The commitment is structured to span at least five years, supporting up to 500 divyang women annually, with an annual allocation of ₹50 crore to sustain the initiative and its long-term impact.

The philosophy guiding Adani Mangal Seva draws from Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani’s belief that ‘Seva Hi Saadhna Hai’, the idea that service must be continuous, disciplined and rooted in responsibility rather than symbolism. This personal philosophy shaped the initiative’s design and execution, transforming a family milestone into a sustained social commitment.

The evening unfolded with quiet purpose and inclusivity. Beneficiaries and their families arrived in organised groups, supported by volunteers to ensure comfort and familiarity. The program began with prayer and reflection, followed by a presentation reaffirming the central belief of Adani Mangal Seva, that prosperity finds meaning only when it creates lasting opportunity for others.

A defining moment of the evening was the distribution of Fixed Deposit certificates. Cultural performances by the Blind People’s Association of Ahmedabad, including a Garba presentation and a fusion music performance, added warmth and emotional resonance, underscoring participation and dignity.

Gautam Adani’s post on X marked the joyous occasion. He wrote, “Jeet and Diva complete one year of their married life today. On this joyful occasion, my heartfelt blessings and warm wishes are with them. On this very day last year, they took the pledge of Mangal Seva. It was a quiet but powerful resolution to support 500 newly married Divyang daughters every year, with financial assistance of ₹10 lakh for each daughter. To see this promise continue with the same sincerity, discipline and sense of responsibility fills my heart with profound gratitude and inner peace.

With time, this effort has touched many families, offering them not just financial security, but the dignity of a fresh beginning and the courage to look ahead with hope. I must say, the moment a daughter’s life regains its smile and self-belief brings a fulfilment so deep that even the greatest achievements and material success in the world feel insignificant in comparison.

As a doting father, I feel truly blessed that my children are choosing to carry their personal happiness into the lives of many families, adding hope, reassurance and quiet strength where it is needed most. I pray to the Almighty that this spirit of service continues to bring happiness, dignity and renewed hope into countless lives and that Jeet and Diva remain steadfast on this path of compassion, purpose and seva.”

Addressing the gathering, Dr Priti Adani, Chairperson, Adani Foundation, reflected, “Today’s gathering is deeply moving and a source of immense pride for me. We have come together not merely for an event, but to honour human dignity, hope, dreams and empowerment. The inspiration behind Adani Mangal Seva was born from a simple yet profound thought, that personal joy finds its highest meaning when it is shared for collective well-being.

When life blesses us with moments of happiness, extending that happiness to society is true service. That is why Adani Mangal Seva is deeply personal to me. This is not just a program. It is an emotion. It is a belief that every woman carries extraordinary strength within her. Being differently abled is not a limitation. It is the ability to see life with resilience, courage and a different perspective. Every dear sister, who is sitting here, is a living testament to that strength.”

Speaking earlier, Jeet Adani said, “Mangal seva has taught us that sometimes the greatest support is the one that stays quietly in the background – steady, dependable and respectful. For us, this is not something we complete and move on from. It is a responsibility we carry forward."

Diva Adani added, "Adani Mangal Seva is built on belief. Belief that security should last. Belief that dignity should never depend on circumstance.”

During the program, Gautam Adani launched Adani Mangal Seva’s book comprising stories of transformation. The evening concluded with a shared dinner that preserved its inclusive and grounded character.

As Adani Mangal Seva completed its first year, it stood as a reminder that when intention takes precedence over occasion, its impact can extend far beyond the moment itself. From large-scale service initiatives during the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj to supporting pilgrims during the Rath Yatra in Puri last year, the underlying philosophy remains unchanged: that true prosperity is inseparable from service, and that seva, practiced with dignity, intent and continuity, becomes its own form of devotion.
