Ratan Tata isn’t as rich as Mukesh Ambani. Here’s why

<ul><li><keyword id="3820" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mukesh-Ambani">Mukesh Ambani</keyword>, chairman of Reliance Industries may become one of the top five richest men in the world, as per Hurun Research Institute. </li><li>His net worth stood at ₹380,700 crore — making him the richest person in India. </li><li>Only eight people in the world are wealthier than Mukesh Ambani. </li></ul>Mukesh Ambani has been having a great year in 2019, after he struck $15 billion deal with Saudi Aramco, and as the telecom tariff war has ended. If you think he has peaked, you are mistaken. In the next three years, he might become one of the five richest men in the world, as per Hurun Research. If he manages to achieve that, he would be the first Indian in it. “The next millions for Ambani would come in from telecom and retail and all the things he is building around it. So, it would come from broadband, the Internet and the entire ecosystem, and his plans to integrate kirana stores with the telecom infrastructure, among others,” Rupert Hoogewerf, founder and Chairman of Hurun Report <a href="https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/huruns-list-mukesh-ambani-may-soon-break-into-top-5/article30259407.ece#">told</a> BusinessLine. Last week, his net worth stood at ₹380,700 crore — right after the market value of his company swelled to ₹10 lakh crore. That made him the ninth richest in the world as per,<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/meghabahree/2019/12/03/indias-mukesh-ambani-is-now-among-the-top-10-richest-in-the-world/#f30502a35603"> according to Forbes. </a> Ambani is already richer than Google Founder <keyword id="100155" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Larry-Page">Larry Page</keyword> and Micheal Bloomberg, who is now busy making a bid for a Presidential nomination is the US. However, on Hurun list, Ambani ranks as the tenth richest man in the world. In India too, his riches are unparalleled. Not only is he the richest person in India but he also has more wealth than the second and third richest combined — SP Hinduja family and <keyword id="6419840" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Azim-Premji">Azim Premji</keyword>. He is also the only Asian in the Forbes list of top 10 richest people. This August, Reliance Industries unveiled a list of plans which is to turn completely debt free by 2020. He also said that in the future he would spin off his retail and telecom businesses into individual companies and unlock value in them. That resulted in a boost of his stock price, as shareholders await a bonanza from public offerings of both companies.

In 3 years, Mukesh Ambani might be one of the five richest people in the world

There was a time when <keyword id="232460" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tata-and-Birla" source="Orion">Tata and Birla</keyword> were synonyms for India's rich. Every region had its own wealthy like the Shrirams, Thapars, Nandas, and Modis in the north or the Bangurs in the east or the Mafatlals, Walchands, Kirloskars, Khataus, Sarabhais and Lalbhais in the west and the M.A. Chidambaram group in the south. Over time, many groups have floundered and fallen on bad times. There are many defining moments in this journey which saw a debilitating impact on family industrial groups. The year 1964 was a turning point because this was when the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission was established. By that year, the MRTP Commission had finished collecting and sifting information on Indian big business and hence reliable data was available. The next interesting inflection point came in 1991, when the P.V. Narasimha Rao administration introduced the New Economic Policy. This is where it all changed - India's most radical policy document in the form of the New Industrial Policy - the Licence Permit Raj was scrapped on 24 July 1991. Democratic socialism had been consigned to the rubbish heap of history - Licence Raj, which was in place for four decades, came to an end with the new industrial policy announced by Finance Minister Manmohan Singh and Prime Minister P.V. Narsimha Rao, who also held the portfolio of Industries Minister. The New Industrial Policy proposed getting rid of Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices and abolishing industrial licensing for all but 18 industries. Foreign equity holdings were proposed to be raised by 51 per cent in a project. Indian industry was free of controls and bureaucracy like never before. Over the last 30 years, India Inc had been turned on its head. As per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index now, Gautam Adani is ranked 4th in the world with a total net worth of $125 billion. Adani is followed by Mukesh Ambani at number 10 with a net worth of $83.6 billion. However, after Adani and Ambani the gap widens by a large extent and is then taken up by the software czars. The next rank from India is number 45 for Azim Premji of Wipro with a net worth of $ 24.6 billion. Shiv Nadar of HCL Technologies is at number 51 on the index with a net worth of $22.8 billion. The representation from India is then only at number 101 with Dilip Shanghvi with a net worth of $14.9 billion followed by Cyrus Poonawalla at 102 with $14.8 billion. Lakhsmi Mittal is at 103 with a net worth of $14.7 billion. Uday Kotak is ranked 106 with a net worth of $13.7 billion. Savitri Jindal is ranked at 119 on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index with a net worth of $12.9 billion. Sunil Mittal is ranked at 134 with a net worth of $12.2 billion. Kumar Birla is at 159 with a net worth of $10.8 billion.
