Leading Authority on India’s private wealth, Hurun Report launches the India Rich List for the fifth time
(Bengaluru, 7th September, 2016): Today Hurun Report released the Hurun India Rich List 2016, a ranking of the richest people in India with a cut-off of INR 1,600 Cr. This is the fifth 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 the net worth of living individuals as at 31 July 2016 when the rate of exchange to the US dollar was INR 66.69.
“Despite an above average monsoon and a steep 24% wage hike, India Inc. fails to cheer the market, resulting in a muted growth in average wealth for 2016. Subdued investors interest in e-commerce and online businesses declined valuations of ecommerce unicorns in 2016 as
18F Tower One, Enterprise Center, 139 Huakang Road, Shanghai, China 200070+86-21-5010 5808 www.hurun.net
compared to 2015”, says Anas Rahman Junaid, Hurun Report India, Managing Director and Chief Researcher.
Mukesh Ambani (59) running the oil to yarn conglomerate ranked first in the list for the fifth consecutive year. He recently launched Jio and has "declared war" with rest of the telecom operators through aggressive market entry strategy. His strategy of reaching 90% of India's population has the potential of placing him at the top 3 in Hurun Global Rich List. Recently, his wife Nita Ambani became the first Indian woman member of International Olympic Committee.
With a net worth of INR 1, 21,500 Cr, Dilip Shanghvi (60) of Sun Pharma retains his second position. On May 2016 Dilip Shanghvi withdraws plans to form a payments bank jointly with the Indian financial firm IDFC Bank and an arm of Norway's Telenor. The Government of India awarded him the Padma Shri, fourth largest civilian honor in 2016.
The man who constructed iconic RBI HQ and Bombay Stock Exchange in Mumbai, Pallonji Mistry (87) nicknamed 'Phantom of Bombay House' is on the third position with a net worth of INR 1, 10,100 Cr. The government of India bestowed him with Padma Bhushan third highest civilian award in 2016. Mistry’s primary source of wealth remains his 18.4% stake in Tata Sons, the holding company for the US$130 Bn Tata Group. Backed by the stellar performance of the group, he rose to top 3 for the first time, from 5th last year.
SP Hinduja & family aggregated their wealth at INR 1, 00,700 Cr. The Hindujas lost their “bronze medal” to Pallonji Mistry.

PharmaceuticalsWith an astounding figure of 21 Billionaires and 18 other individual mentions in the list, pharma sector has registered the highest contribution to the list. In 2016, the sector witnessed a 17% growth in cumulative wealth compared to 2015. The number of individuals doubled. Although the growth in cumulative wealth is substantially driven by the performance of private players, it should be noted that the listed players fared poorly. For instance, in 2015 the listed players registered a 66% average growth in share price compared to 9% in 2016. The vaccine icon Cyrus S Poonawalla of Serum Institute of India elevated his position by 6 ranks and is now comfortably placed in Top 5.
FMCGIn 2016 when most sectors failed to keep up the momentum, FMCG registered a decent growth of 14% in terms of the cumulative wealth. Yoga Acharya’s Patanjali took the market by storm and is eating away market share of other multinational FMCG’s. Patanjali registered a turnover of INR 5,000 Cr and expects to hit INR 10,000 Cr in 2017.

GRL 2015The Hurun Global Rich List 2015 ranked 2189 billionaires from 68 countries, up 222 from last year, in a record-breaking year for the world’s billionaires. 649 saw their wealth increase and there were 341 new faces. 230 remained unchanged. 869 individuals saw their wealth decrease. 95 dropped out of last year’s list. The Russian Rouble collapse, brought about by a stagnating Russian economy, sanctions due to Ukrainian conflict and cheaper oil price by the OPEC, has been the cause for 60% of Russian billionaires to see their wealth drop, led by Vladimir Yevtushenkov and Vagit Alekperov of Lukoil whose wealth fell by 77% and 73% respectively. Although the list expanded by 222 individuals, the total wealth dropped by 1.5% to US$6.7 trillion, still more than the GDP of Japan and South Korea combined.
Methodology
The Hurun India Rich List is a snapshot of wealth as on 31 July 2016. The exchange rate used for US$ was INR 66.7. The list relates to Indians only, defined as born or brought up in India origin their passport today.
Valuing the wealth of India’s richest is as much an art as it is a science. Sure, we have missed some, but we believe the Hurun India Rich List to be the most serious attempt to identify India’s top entrepreneurs and to measure their holdings. Our team of researchers has - for the fifth year running - traveled the length and breadth of the country cross-checking information with entrepreneurs, industry experts, journalists, bankers, and regulators, as well as previous years’ databases. For non-listed companies our valuation was based on a comparison with their listed equivalents using prevailing industry multiples such as Price to Earnings, Price to Sales, EV to Sales, EV to EBITDA and also other methodologies including Discounted Cash Flow, Tobin’s Q and so on. In certain cases of early stage companies, we have used First Chicago Method for valuation.
This year, we have split out siblings, so companies like Muthoot Finance have been split across four individuals.

“The Hurun India Rich List celebrates the world’s most successful Indian entrepreneurs and a
great guide to how each of them have made their mark in business. There are many stories of
Indian businessmen in the list that can be a wonderful inspiration for all. As an entrepreneur
myself, I believe, behind every success story there is a series of ups and downs towards
achieving the phenomenal glory. I myself started with a single jewellery showroom , yet today
brand 'Joyalukkas' is recognised around the world for more than just jewellery, we are now a
global conglomerate and have ventured into Fashion & Silks, Malls, Money Exchange, Luxury
Air Charter & Realty. A big congratulations to all the Indian entrepreneurs who made it to the
Hurun's India Rich List and big thank you to Hurun for this wonderful initiative to celebrate our
accomplishments.
