She’s married to Karan Adani, the guy who one day will take over the reins from Asia’s richest man, Gautam Adani. Adani Sr.’s net worth is a whopping US$108 billion according to Bloomberg and Karan is already CEO of Adani Ports and SEZ Limited.

But the family like to keep their personal affairs out of the spotlight, so just who is the woman who has captured Karan’s heart? Meet Paridhi Adani, a bold lawyer who is carving out her own future – her husband and his family billions aside.

Shroff and Adani tied the knot in a glamorous ceremony in Goa in 2013. Of course the billionaire brothers Mukesh and Anil Ambani were there (although Anil has gone bankrupt since), as well as other well-known businesspeople including Anand Mahindra and Anil Agarwal, and even India’s prime minister Narendra Modi, who was at the time Gujarat’s chief minister. Images of the event showed Shroff looking glam in a shimmery white ensemble, her hair loose and make-up minimal.

The Indian Express reports that a total of 22,000 people were invited to attend one of three lavish receptions hosted by the Adani family to celebrate the wedding. The additional receptions are customary in India as a way for people in other parts of the country to get the chance to mark the momentous occasion.

The Economic Times reported the couple welcomed their first child together in 2016. The baby girl was named Anuradha Karan Adani. At the time, proud granny and mum to Paridhi, Vandana, said the baby girl looked like a “princess”.

After giving birth, Paridhi stayed at the Shroff residence with her family for 40 days, as is traditional in India, before moving back to Ahmedabad where the Adani family live.

Shroff’s father Cyril is arguably one of the most famous legal minds in India. He specialises in corporate law and is the managing partner of Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, India’s biggest law firm. According to Chambers, who assess and rank legal companies throughout the world, the company is known for advising high-net-worth clients and has amassed a fortune from advising their wealthy clientele.

Paridhi has followed in her father’s footsteps in joining the company, working in the general corporate practice group in the Gujarat office, according to her LinkedIn page.

Carving out her own path

While Shroff has married into the Adani family and followed her father into law, she continues to carve out a name for herself. On LinkedIn, she says she advocates for diversity and equality in the workplace. She also says she is an advocate for mental wellness and believes in “sustainability as a way of life”.

In terms of her specialisation at work, she focuses on the infrastructure space, especially around renewable energy, logistics and urban infrastructure. She has said she advises clients about the digitalisation of operations to cloud-based platforms and compliance with new tech regulations.
