Hurun India Rich List

In September 2015, Hurun Report released the Hurun India Rich List, a list of the richest people in India with a cut-off of INR 1,600 Cr. This is the fourth year of the list, which has become a benchmark for the private sector and has become widely accepted to be the most robust attempt at covering entrepreneurship in India. Wealth calculations are a snapshot of net worth of living individuals as of 31 July 2015 when the rate of exchange to the US dollar was INR 64.0.

With 76 new faces, Hurun Report launched its Indian Rich List 2015

With Rs 1,60,950 cr, Mukesh Ambani is the richest man in india for 4th year

Some details

Hurun Report India releases Hurun India Rich List 2015, presented by jewelry-brand Joyalukkas

• Hurun Report finds 296 individuals with INR 1,600 Cr or more, up 76 from last year and double that of two years ago [294 listed on this page]

• India had a mixed year with some sectors such as mobile phone and e-commerce doing well and other such as real estate and energy had a bad year. Overall, it was an average year of India’s entrepreneur

• Owing to a 6% devaluation of Indian Rupee against the US dollar and a lacklustre performance of key sectors such as steel, energy and real estate, the average wealth dropped 7%

• India is adding more billionaires. Number of dollar billionaires has increased to 124 from 109 last year. The inaugural Hurun India Rich List had just 59 billionaires in 2012

• 36 have migrated out of India and are NRI

• 13 saw their wealth double year on year; The fastest riser is Dhiraj Rajaram (40) of Mu Sigma, a data analytics business, shooting up 593% to INR 17,790 Cr.

• 58 individuals saw their wealth decline, led by the oil and gas sector, after uncertainly continued to surround the Middle East. Ajay Kalsi (54) of Indus Gas declined by 242% dropping him to the bottom of the list.

• Mukesh Ambani (58) of Reliance, holds on to his position as the richest man in India with a fortune of INR 1,60,951 Cr, down by 3% from last year. Ambani seems to be betting on digital space by committing over INR 2,50,000 Cr to PM Modi’s Digital India initiative.

• London-based SP Hinduja & Family (81) of Hinduja Group shot up to 3rd position, from 6th last year, after seeing their wealth grow 43% to INR 1,03,030 Cr

• Whilst Mumbai continues to dominate with 29% of the list residing there, Delhi came in second with 19%, followed by Bangalore with 8%

• Manufacturing continues to dominate with 15% of the list, followed by pharmaceuticals and real estate with 9% and 6% respectively.

• Only 61% are self-made, down by 6% from last year

• The only self-made woman in the list is the ‘BioTech Queen’ Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw (62) who saw her net worth decrease by 6% to INR 6143 Cr

• At 28 years, Ankit Bhati and at 29, Bhavish Aggarwal founders of Ola Cabs, “India’s answer to Uber”, are the youngest self-made Indians in the list. The Tyre prince, Rajiv Poddar (30) of Balakrishna Industries follows.

• The combined wealth of India’s richest is a staggering US$478bn, equating to 22% of India’s GDP last year and larger than the GDPs of UAE ($402bn), South Africa ($350bn) & Singapore ($308bn).

• For the first time, Azim Premji (69) loses the spot in Top 5, due to his philanthropic donations

• Supported by 33% increase, with INR 47,608 Cr, Uday Kotak (55) breaks into Top 10

• Now accepted as a leading authority on India’s private wealth, Hurun Report launched the India Rich List for the fourth time. It has more details than other rival rich lists.

Ola founders youngest on list of super-rich Indians

Charity pushes Premji out of top 5 in rich list

At the top, Mukesh Ambani was followed by Dilip Sanghvi of Sun Pharma, S P Hinduja & family of the Hinduja Group, Shiv Nadar of HCL, and Pallonji Mistry of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group. For the first time, Wipro chairman Azim Premji fell off the top 5 rankings. He's now at the seventh spot, with his net worth plummeting 59% to Rs 51,900 crore.

The new-age entrepreneurship boom in India is being reflected in the ranks of the wealthiest Indians, with several first-timers entering the super-rich list. The debutants include Ola founders Ankit Bhati, 28, and Bhavish Aggarwal, 29, who are also the youngest on the list. With their personal fortunes estimated at Rs 2,385 crore each, the duo are jointly ranked 238th. While the top spots are occupied by familiar faces, with Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani ranked numero uno with a net worth of Rs 1.6 lakh crore, the list also throws up some surprises. For example, the Indian who posted the biggest gain in wealth over the past year is reported to be Dhiraj Rajaram, the 40-year-old founder of Bengaluru-based analytics firm Mu Sigma. Rajaram saw his personal fortune rise six-fold, to Rs 17,800 crore. His ranking has risen 127 spots to No. 38, according to the Hurun India Rich List for 2015. There are 76 new faces among the 296 who made it to the Hurun India Rich List this year, with the cut-off level being personal wealth of Rs 1,600 crore. Apart from Ola's Bhati and Aggarwal, other prominent tech entrepreneurs on the list include Flipkart's Sachin Bansal, 34, and Binny Bansal, 34, whose estimated wealth of Rs 9,010 crore each puts them at the 85th spot, a rise of 58 positions. Snapdeal's Kunal Bahl, 32, is a new entrant, jumping straight to the 243rd spot with a wealth of Rs 2,314 crore.

Vijay Shekhar Sharma, 38, of mobile wallet and ecommerce firm Paytm, and Naveen Tewari, 39, of the mobile ad network InMobi are also new entrants.

Most of these technology and internet companies have raised significant amounts of private equity capital at substantial valuations over the past year. Flipkart's latest fund raise valued the firm at $15 billion, and Snapdeal's valued it close to $5 billion. Most of the new-age startup founders are also exceptional in that they are self-made; 85% of those in the list are part of family businesses.

“Despite the weakening of the stock market and the rupee, the Hurun India Rich List expanded by 76 entrepreneurs, showing the resilience and dynamism of the Indian private sector,“ said Anas Rahman Junaid, India head, Hurun Report. The Hurun Report was started by researcher Rupert Hoogewerf. The first report, in 1999, was on the rich in China, and Hoogewerf has since been regularly bringing out a China rich list. The India initiative began two years ago.

At the top, Mukesh Ambani was followed by Dilip Sanghvi of Sun Pharma, S P Hinduja & family of the Hinduja Group, Shiv Nadar of HCL, and Pallonji Mistry of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group. For the first time, Wipro chairman Azim Premji fell off the top 5 rankings. He's now at the seventh spot, with his net worth plummeting 59% to Rs 51,900 crore.
