Their rivalry isn't merely a headline-grabbing feud, but a significant force shaping the Indian economic landscape. As of mid-August, Ambani remains the <keyword id="7413735" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="richest-person-in-India" source="Orion">richest person in India</keyword>. He is ranked 11th among the world's wealthiest individuals by Forbes, with a net worth of around $113 billion. On the other hand, Adani's net worth has fallen to approximately $84 billion, placing him 20th on Forbes’ real-time global list. Gautam Adani, chairman of the $32 billion (revenue) Adani Group, has witnessed a journey marked by dramatic ups and downs. In 2022, he soared to the rank of the world's second-richest individual before encountering a severe downturn. Allegations of corporate fraud by Hindenburg Research triggered a substantial sell-off in his company's stocks in 2023. Yet, Adani's determined recovery—focused on debt management and core business strengths—has paved the way for a remarkable rebound. By 2024, Adani group's shares also recovered substantially after India's Supreme Court ruled in the group's favour. Meanwhile, Mukesh Ambani—chairman and managing director at the $110 billion (revenue) Reliance Industries—has also experienced some fluctuations in his wealth and business activities this year. However, 2024 has been marked mainly by his personal milestones. The high-profile wedding of his younger son Anant Ambani with Radhika Merchant was attended by some of the most well-known celebrities and figures in the world, highlighting Ambani family's prominence in both business and social spheres. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Implications of Adani vs Ambani for the Indian economy" comment="subhead" text="Implications of Adani vs Ambani for the Indian economy">Implications of <keyword id="13480269" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Adani-vs-Ambani" source="Orion">Adani vs Ambani</keyword> for the <keyword id="6356076" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-economy" source="Orion">Indian economy</keyword></cmsannotation> The ongoing competition between Ambani and Adani is not just a personal battle; it has broader implications for the Indian economy. Firstly, heightened competition between these business giants is likely to benefit consumers by driving improvements in pricing and services within sectors they both dominate, including telecommunications, retail and renewable energy. Additionally, as their enterprises grow, they are expected to generate a significant number of job opportunities across diverse fields. This competitive dynamic also fosters a climate of innovation, as both conglomerates invest heavily in emerging technologies and sustainable practices, thereby bolstering India's position as a leader in these areas. Both billionaires represent different paths to success, with Ambani's legacy-driven approach contrasting with Adani's entrepreneurial journey, underscoring the diverse opportunities within the Indian economy. The ongoing race between Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani epitomises the dynamic nature of wealth creation in India. With Adani currently in the lead, the competition promises to continue shaping economic trends and consumer experiences in the country.

In 2023's report, Adani's wealth declined by 57 per cent to Rs 4.74 lakh crore, and Ambani was way ahead with a fortune of Rs 8.08 lakh crore. It can be noted that Adani's networth declined sharply following various allegations levelled by US-based short seller Hindenburg Research. The conglomerate has denied all the allegations. In the 2014 edition, Hurun had pegged Adani's fortunes at Rs 44,000 crore, which made him the tenth richest Indian then.

Race for India’s richest – The gap between Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani is narrowing

<ul><li>Mukesh Ambani regained his No. 1 position even as his wealth grew only 2% in the year.</li><li>Nearly 65% of people in the list amassed a combined wealth of close to $1 trillion.</li><li>As many as 55 people dropped out of the rich list, the most notable being Byju Raveendran.</li><li>Startup founders’ wealth saw a collective dip of ₹85,000 crore. </li></ul>A lot has changed in the last one year, but there are few surprises in the 360 ONE Wealth Hurun India Rich List 2023 released on Tuesday. The chairman of Reliance Industries Mukesh Ambani surged to the top spot as India’s richest man. India has added 38 <keyword id="6393637" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="billionaires" source="Orion">billionaires</keyword> to its rich list, taking the total tally to 259. Even as the developed world is staring at a recession, India is cementing its position as an economic powerhouse. Nearly 65% of people in the rich list amassed a combined wealth of close to $1 trillion. This is akin to the combined GDP of Singapore and the UAE, Hurun said. Mukesh Ambani surpassed Gautam Adani, who dropped to the second spot, in spite of only a 2% growth in his wealth in the last one year. After Adani’s wealth more than halved in the last year, the gap between Ambani and Adani wealth widened by ₹3,30,000 crore. The top 10 has seen a lot of upheaval in the last one year – as only Shiv Nadar and Cyrus Poonawala were able to hold on to the positions they held last year. Gautam Adani’s brother Vinod Shantilal Adani who was the sixth richest Indian last year, exited the top 10 list this year. He is now the twelfth richest Indian after his wealth dropped by 37%. The other notable exit is Uday Kotak, the chairman of Kotak Mahindra Bank who is now the 11th richest man in the county after his wealth dropped 6% last year. Kumar Mangalam Birla &amp; family and Niraj Bajaj &amp; family made a remarkable return to the top 10 this year as wealth went up by 5% and 7% respectively.

However, their average wealth has decreased by 9.3%. The India Rich List added 273 new entrants and 38 new billionaires over the last year. The number of dollar billionaires also went up to 259, up 38 as compared to last year. “The trends prove that India is a shining moon in a world that is staring at recession. While the China Rich List has dropped 10% for each of this year and last year, both in terms of average wealth and in terms of the number of people that make the list. India is closing the gap,” said Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher, Hurun India. India has 259 billionaires, up 38 compared to last year. While industrial products, metals &amp; mining added the greatest number of new entrants to the list. Pharma still holds the numero uno position and contributed 133 entrants to the list. “Over the past five years, many entrepreneurs have witnessed extraordinary wealth growth, some experiencing an astonishing 1,000% surge. Construction and engineering emerge as the top gainers in the top 100 list, followed closely by pharmaceuticals which has a cut-off of ₹20,000 crore,” said Anirudha Taparia, co-founder and joint CEO, 360 ONE Wealth. Funding winter &amp; founders’ wealth While 264 in the Indian rich list saw their wealth drop in the last one year, there were as many as 55 dropouts. The most notable of the dropouts is Byju Raveendran. The founder of edtech Byju’s exited the list on the back of investor markdowns. The funding winter and its ripple effects led to startup founders on the list experiencing a collective wealth dip of ₹85,000 crore. Recent policies, like the retrospective GST imposition on gaming companies and the angel tax and so on, could potentially hinder long-term wealth generation by startups, Hurun said. However, a few IPOs that stumbled last year did make a comeback. As new-age internet companies gain in value, entrepreneurs like Deepinder Goyal of Zomato and Yashish Dahiya of PB Fintech have seen their wealth increase by over 70%. Startup wealth creation will persist, albeit within a changing landscape, Junaid said. The IPO stars: Public issues and rich list debuts The stock markets also rewarded many public debuts and made their founders into billionaires. Ramesh Kunhikannan’s Kaynes Technology made a strong stock market debut. And he entered the list with a wealth of ₹8,200 crore. The spectacular listing gains provided by stock market debuts of many companies have pulled their owners into the rich list. Some of them include Jagdish Prasad Chowdhary of Titagarh Wagons, Ranjit Pendurthi of Archean Chemical Industries and Ajay P Thakker &amp; family of Jupiter Life Line Hospitals. Pavan Kumar Bajaj and Karan Bajaj of Electronics Mart India and Harsha Engineers’ Harish Rangwala and Rajendra Shantilal Shah too entered the coveted list of richest Indians after their stocks skyrocketed on debut. But there is money to be made in private markets too. Manish Kejriwal of Kedaara Capital became the first Indian Private Equity fund manager to enter the list.

Hurun India Rich List: Birla and Bajaj back in the top ten with Ambani on top in 2023

Billionaire <keyword id="19916798" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mukesh-Ambani" source="keywords">Mukesh Ambani</keyword>'s Reliance Industries and <keyword id="19924335" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tata-Group" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Tata Group" meta.hostid="153" meta.entityid="Tata Group">Tata Group</keyword> have made it to the prestigious TIME's list of 100 World's Most Influential Companies of 2024. TIME called Reliance 'India's Juggernaut'. This is the second time that Reliance has found its way into the TIME list. Jio Platforms, the firm that holds digital properties of the conglomerate, was included in the inaugural TIME 100 Most Influential Companies List of 2021. Serum Institute is the other Indian company on the list. TIME listed Reliance in the 'Titans' category (one of the five categories under which the companies were divided, other being Leaders, Disrupters, Innovators, and Pioneers). Tata was listed in 'Titan's' category while Serum under 'Pioneers'. "Reliance Industries was founded as a textile and polyester company 58 years ago by Dhirubhai Ambani. Today the sprawling conglomerate -- which has aligned its growth with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for a 'self-reliant' India -- is the country's most valuable company, with a market capitalisation of more than USD 200 billion," TIME said. Now led by Dhirubhai's son Mukesh, the Mumbai-based company has ventures in energy, retail, and telecommunications, among others, and has made its chairman Asia's richest man, it said. The publication went on to stated that in February, Reliance came out on top in a fiercely competitive race to dominate India's burgeoning streaming market by striking a USD 8.5 billion merger deal with Disney's India business. "The deal will bring together more than 100 television channels and give the combined group around a 31 per cent share of India's streaming market compared to rivals Netflix and Amazon Prime with 8 per cent each," according to analytics firm Comscore. Reliance has revolutionised several economic sectors in the world's most populous country by making world-class products and services available at affordable prices with multiple innovations. Under Mukesh Ambani, the firm's telecom arm Jio revolutionised India's digital landscape and drove digital inclusion on an unprecedented scale with the most affordable mobile data tariffs in the world. It set up the world's largest single location refining complex. Reliance Retail is ranked among the top 100 retailers globally and in FY24 it registered 1.06 billion footfalls across its 18,800+ stores (67 per cent of which are in small towns and villages). Reliance is investing USD 10 billion in building the most comprehensive ecosystem for new energy and new materials in India and has set an ambitious goal to reach net-zero carbon by 2035. TIME described Serum as the world's biggest vaccine maker, churning out billions of vaccines. The company makes 3.5 billion doses every year, including for measles, polio, and most recently, HPV. "Serum's CEO Adar Poonawalla says the company's success can largely be chalked up to its private ownership. Not being beholden to shareholders allows it to keep vaccine prices low (the R21 will cost USD 4 a shot)," the publication said. Tata Group, it said, was founded in 1868 and has a vast portfolio extending from steel, software, watches, subsea cables, and chemicals, to salt, grains, air-conditioners, fashion, and hotels. "But as rivals have aggressively courted new businesses, it struggled to keep up with stiff competition. In 2017, after over a century of family management, N Chandrasekaran took over as chairman despite having no personal ties to the family -- highly unusual when India's business landscape is ruled by family succession plans," TIME said. As chair, he has transformed the group by investing in tech manufacturing, AI, and semiconductor chips. In 2023, it became the first Indian company to assemble iPhones, and is building another plant, it said, adding that in September, Tata announced a partnership with Nvidia to develop an AI cloud in India. "And this year, it announced plans for the country's first major semiconductor manufacturing facility. The moves seem to be paying off: in February, Tata's combined market capitalisation reached a whopping USD 365 billion, more than the entire economy of India's neighbour and rival, Pakistan," it added. This is the fourth edition of annual TIME100 Most Influential Companies list, highlighting companies making an extraordinary impact around the world. To assemble the list, TIME solicited nominations across sectors, and polled its global network of contributors and correspondents, as well as outside experts. Then, TIME editors evaluated each on key factors, including impact, innovation, ambition, and success. The result is a diverse group of 100 businesses helping chart an essential path forward.

The conglomerate is now reportedly looking to enter the e-commerce and payments segments as the group diversifies. According to a report by Financial Times, the Adani Group is in talks to enter the e-commerce and payments segments as it wants to expand its digital business to take on Mukesh Ambani’s <keyword id="19896380" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Reliance-Industries" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Reliance Industries" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Reliance Industries">Reliance Industries</keyword> and Google in India. While the Adani Group has a stake in several businesses, it has yet to make its presence felt in consumer-facing segments. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Talks on for payments license, credit card" comment="subhead" text="Talks on for payments license, credit card">Talks on for payments license, credit card</cmsannotation> The Adani Group is reportedly considering applying for a license to operate on the country’s public digital payments network, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). The group is also in talks with banks to offer a co-branded Adani credit card to its customers. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Push for ONDC" comment="subhead" text="Push for ONDC">Push for <keyword id="19987599" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ONDC" source="keywords">ONDC</keyword></cmsannotation> The Adani Group is also reported to be in negotiations to enter the e-commerce segment through the government-backed Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). With ONDC’s interoperable networks, companies do not have to invest in developing their own e-commerce platforms or payment systems. The ONDC services will reportedly be available on the company’s Adani One app, which was launched in 2022. The Adani One app currently offers travel services such as flight and hotel bookings. The services will initially be aimed at the company’s gas and electricity customers, offering them incentives to use their app in the form of cashback and discounts. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="To take on Mukesh Ambani" comment="subhead" text="To take on Mukesh Ambani">To take on Mukesh Ambani</cmsannotation> Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, who are the top two<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/top-25-richest-people-in-india-in-2024/articleshow/110149894.cms"> richest people in India</a> have been competing for the top spot, with Adani occupying the top spot for a while. Gautam Adani’s net worth took a hit after a sharp decline in Adani Group shares during the Hindenburg saga. US-based research firm Hindenburg had released a report on the Gautam Adani-owned companies in late January in 2023, alleging stock manipulation among others. Adani Group’s<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/corporates/news/gautam-adani-beats-mukesh-ambani-to-become-indias-richest-man/articleshow/106564235.cms"> shares rallied</a> after the country’s Apex Court passed a<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/adani-hindenburg-sc-verdict-sees-pack-rally-with-adani-energy-solutions-in-the-lead/articleshow/106505824.cms"> verdict</a> in favour of the group. Adani even went on to emerge as India’s richest man by adding $7.67 billion to his net worth in a short span. While Mukesh Ambani reclaimed the top spot, the gap is once again narrowing. According to the Bloomberg Billionaire’s Index, Gautam Adani’s net worth has now surged to $109 billion, just behind Mukesh Ambani who is valued at $114 billion, bringing down the gap to $5 billion. In the last year, Adani’s wealth has surged by $25 billion, while Ambani’s wealth has surged by $17.3 billion. Despite this surge, Adani’s wealth is yet to reach its peak of $119 billion. Adani’s new ventures will take on Mukesh Ambani’s JioMart and JioFinance, which is expected to soon begin offering payment services. Additionally, it will also take on Google Pay, one of India’s most popular UPI platforms.
