Is Australia ready for India's Gautam Adani?

Gautam Adani, is a self-made, first generation multi-billionaire in India.  Owner of India's biggest private port located on the west coast of Gujarat, Adani's business interests span across coal  mining, construction, education, power plants and resources and logistics management.

He now owns Australia's biggest coal mine, the Carmichael Project in Queensland. A lot has been written about the environmental implications of this project and its impact on the Australian economy but little is known about the man here in Australia. 

Gautam Adani - turned an arid desert in Kutch into a thriving economic hub but at the cost of locals and environment. He flouted every rule in the book to build India's largest private port. Australia has chosen to do business with Adani and therefore it is necessary to know whom are dealing with. 

Profile of Gautam Adani, his empire and his track record was first published in The Age. Full article can be read here - http://www.theage.com.au/comment/is-australia-ready-for-indias-gautam-adani-20140903-10bqbb.html#ixzz3DTBcpQq
