STORY: Gautam Adani was the third richest person in the world, and the richest in Asia, according to Forbes. But by Thursday, not only had ranking slipped to 16th, his companies had lost $100 billion dollars.So what happened? The week began with a small U.S. investment firm Hindenburg criticizing Adani’s conglomerate. A report alleged improper use of tax havens and flagging concerns about debt levels.

His Adani Group conglomerate grew to includes ports, coal mines, food businesses, airports and lately media. India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is from the same state and their relationship has long come under scrutiny by Modi’s opponents. On Thursday, lawmakers shouted anti-Adani slogans in the Indian Parliament. But many Indians also voiced their support for the businessman on social media. IndiaStandsWithAdani was among the top trending hashtags on Twitter. Adani group said Hindenburg’s report was a “calculated attack” on India and its institutions.

As the losses mounted in the market this week, Adani himself appeared unfazed. He landed in Israel on Tuesday to take control of a Haifa port that he had bought earlier in partnership with a local firm. [Adani] "Thank you, Shalom."
