FORBES RICHEST
100 INDIANS LIST 2019
Forbes has released
the 2019 India Rich list which is compiled using data from shareholding and
financial information obtained from families and individuals, stock exchanges,
analysts and Indian regulatory agencies.
The total wealth of
the tycoons on the 2019 Rich List decreased by 8% to $452 billion from a year
ago.
Mukesh Ambani is the
RICHEST INDIAN and there is huge gap between him and the Rest.
Ratan TATA is not in
the List as his properties are in the name of Trusts.
Azim Premji of Wipro
is now at 17 as he has been donating his incomes frequently.
Mukesh Ambani's JIO
is moving ahead in Telecom. As the latest entrant in Telecom, it has no Old
baggage and is beneficiary of all moves in Telecom Industry. Others were
languishing but are now likely to become profitable after Tariff revision.
Infosys founders are
mostly in this list. I don’t know if anybody has missed out.
