Adani Institutes of Infrastructure
Management • Engineering
‘Rachana' is a Sanskrit word derived from the
root 'rach' meaning 'to create' or 'make'. This is
an apt word to describe our forthcoming steps.
At the Adani Institute of Infrastructure, we
aspired for new dreams and hence, created a
base with our first newsletter Adhisthana. The
second newsletter, Rachana, goes on to show
how the Adani Institute of Infrastructure has
created a masterpiece from that base.
Being nation builders, our goal has always been
to be able to carve a new India with the best
possible infrastructure. Rachana captures the
essence of our activities towards creating
infrastructure for a new India.
