Riding the post-pandemic rise in demand, India's richest grew their collective wealth by $25 billion to a record $800 billion
Another year and another record is set by the members of the Forbes list of India’s 100 Richest. The billionaires of the country grew their collective wealth by $25 billion and are cumulatively worth a record $800 billion. This rise in wealth comes as companies are riding on the post-pandemic demand revival wave, and in defiance of a weakening rupee. Nykaa’s chairperson Falguni Nayar debuted on the list for the first time ever—at rank 44—with a net worth of $4.08 billion. However, the most notable drop out was Vijay Shekhar Sharma who was on rank 92 with a net worth of $2.35 billion in 2021.
