(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 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. The automobile-to-financial services conglomerate plans to expand business in automotive, oil, chemicals, trading and infrastructure sectors across Africa by investing US$1 Bn in next five years.

ArcelorMittal reported a net loss of US$7.9 Bn in 2015 mostly because of a US$4.8 Bn write-down on iron ore mining business and a US$1.3 Bn charge on inventory due to the global steel price plunge.

 

Uday Kotak (57) climbed to 9th rank 2016 backed by the 9% increase in the share price Kotak Mahindra Bank in which he holds 33.7% stake. Kotak Mahindra Bank acquired a 20% stake in Airtel M-Commerce Services, a subsidiary of Bharti Airtel holding a payments bank license.

 

Sunil Mittal & Family – Sunil Mittal (58), is the founder of Bharti Enterprises, which has interests ranging from telecommunications and retail to financial services and solar power step down to 10th rank owing to 13% decline in the flagship company Bharti Airtel’s share price.

With 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.

 

 

FMCG

In 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.

Gurbachan Singh & Kuldip Singh Dhingra, Berger Paints, saw their wealth grow by 53%during the period 2015-16. Devendra Kumar Jain (87), of Gujarat Flourochemicals is the oldest billionaire from this sector.

 

 

Consumer Durables

 

Baked by increased disposable income and technological innovations, the entrepreneurs in consumer durable industry showed a positive trend with decent 5% growth in average wealth. The sector produced 3 new entrants to the list. As per studies, the consumer durables market is expected to expand at a compounded annual growth rate of 14.8% and Hurun Research Institute expects significant wealth creation in the near future.

Financial Services added 6 new faces into the list. The sector is topped by Uday Kotak (age 57, networth INR 51,600 Cr) followed by Sameer Gehlaut (age 42, INR 10,400 Cr). The Muthoot Finance produced most number of individuals from the financial services in Hurun India Rich List 2016.

For the year under review, BSE Mid Cap (12.3%) and BSE Small Cap Index (3.23%) outperformed the benchmark index. Sensex failed to outperform Global indices S&P 500 (3.3%) and DJIA (4.2%). At a sectorial level, Healthcare and IT underperformed among the sectorial indices. All the others performed with at least 10% return – the biggest gainer was metals with a 36.26% return year to date.

GRL 2015

The 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.

Joyalukkas Jewelers is part of the Joyalukkas Group, a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate with presence across the India, GCC, UK, USA, Malaysia, & Singapore. Its interests include fashion retail, money exchange, real estate, malls and luxury air charters.

Note from Joy Alukkas, CMD JoyAlukkas Group

“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.
