The digital platform industry is expected to witness tremendous growth in the coming years and companies are rushing to ride this wave. The Gautam Adani-led Adani Group has become the latest heavyweight to enter the digital world even as the competition between Reliance and Tata starts to heat up.

The newly created Adani Digital Labs will spearhead the Adani Group’s foray into the digital world. The Group has plans to create a super app, which will allow it to leverage the virtual platform to interact with its consumers. The idea to develop a super app took seed this January when two Adani employees held a demo where they showcased a mockup version of the app. The exposition caught the fancy of Gautam Adani, the Group’s maverick Chairman, who had this to say, “Seeing the demo unfold, it took me less than 30 minutes to decide that we must become a player in this space.”
