This year has been a strong year for IPOs, with 94 billionaires minted from 77 IPOs. The year was also a moment of reckoning for the India’s startup ecosystem which witnessed major startup IPOs including 4 companies in Hurun Global Unicorn Index. 2021’s IPO story began with a bang but fizzled out towards the end owing to bubble concerns. 10 Tech companies that listed in 2021 cumulatively lost US$23bn or Rs 1,72,000 crore since listing, resulting in a momentary pause of the tech IPO “Ashwamedham”.

Hurun

Sunainaa Chadha, March 17, 2022: The Times of India

With a wealth of US$ 4.3 billion and US$ 4.2 billion respectively, Rakesh Gangwal and Rahul Bhatia and the family of “Indigo” airlines are the wealthiest aviation billionaires. Interglobe co-founders improved their rank by 231 positions over the last five years.

NEW DELHI: Despite the Russia-Ukraine war and the continued impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the rich have only gotten richer with the total wealth of billionaires rising by 4 percent to touch $15.2 trillion in FY 2022, according to the latest rich list by Hurun.


The global list pointed out that there are a total of 3,381 billionaires in the world, up by 153 from last year.

Here are the ten key highlights:

2070 billionaires saw their wealth increase:

2,070 saw their wealth increase, of which 490 were new faces. 1,279 saw their wealth decrease, of which 337 dropped-off. 369 saw their wealth stay the same. The average age was 64. “The Russia-Ukraine war, Covid-19 and the US-China Trade War contributed to 301 billionaires dropping off the list this year, almost one a day. However, continued digitalisation of the economy, tech innovations as well as inflation helped 490 new faces making the list, giving a surprising net increase of 153 billionaires," said Rupert Hoogewerf, Hurun Report chairman and chief researcher.

2 new faces in the Top 10: Sergey Brin and Larry Page of Alphabet broke into Top 10 at the expense of Mark Zuckerburg and China-based bottled water tycoon Zhong Shanshan.
