"There is potential to disrupt this space. We need more passionate people to create solutions for problems faced by those who are specially abled. I am excited to partner with Shark Tank India and support entrepreneurs to help bring about this change, in whatever way possible," said Jeet Adani in a statement shared in the press release.
Jeet Adani, the world's youngest airport infrastructure developer, is offering mentorship and support through Shark Tank to entrepreneurs with disabilities and entrepreneurs who are working for people with disabilities. In a special program, titled 'Gateway to Shark Tank - Divyang Special', Jeet Adani and Anupam Mittal discussed the dire need for focused interventions in this domain, as per the release.

On the International Day of People with Disabilities in 2024, Jeet facilitated a collaborative effort between the Adani Foundation and the Gujarat Government's Department of Social Justice and Empowerment. This partnership led to the distribution of over 1,150 technical kits to differently abled students across the state's Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs).
Jeet has also been a driving force behind the Adani Foundation's collaboration with the Mitti Social Initiatives Foundation. At the Adani Group's Mumbai and Lucknow airports, Mitti Cafes provide employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities, celebrating diversity and inclusion. In 2023, he launched the Adani Group's GreenX Talks, where resilient individuals with disabilities shared their inspiring life stories of overcoming numerous challenges through determination and strength.
