India’s richest tech billionaires in 2019

Top 10 tech billionaires on the Forbes list of 100 richest Indians

<ul><li>The Hurun Research Institute released a list of the top 100 billionaires, a few of whom are from the technology sector.</li><li>India’s richest tech billionaire is Wipro chairman, Azim Premji but he’s given away 30% more money than his own net worth. </li><li>Vijay Shekhar Sharma is India’s fourth richest tech billionaire but the only start up guy on the list.</li></ul>India’s digital economy is growing, and is filling the coffers of innovators and others. The IIFL Wealth Hurun Report India ranks the richest of Indians — and quite a few of them are from the technology sector. Unlike other industries, globally tech billionaires are self-made, and come from humble beginnings. While India has a few who had legacy businessmen, a new set of entrepreneurs who bet on new-age technology like cloud, mobile payments and digital ad platforms also managed to make their moolah and hence made it to the list.

<ul><li>The <keyword id="8205065" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="forbes-100-richest-indians">Forbes 100 Richest Indians</keyword> list puts Shiv Nadar on top as the country’s richest tech billionaire worth $14.4 billion. </li><li>Wipro chairman Azim Premji ranks second with a net worth of $7.2 billion. </li><li>The list also sees the debut of Byju Raveendran, who is the youngest billionaire on the list and the only one who is under 40 years old. </li></ul>The richest of the rich when it comes to India’s digital economy include a few familiar faces, and a few brand new ones. On the one hand, the list is dominated by regulars like HCL’s Shiv Nadar and Wipro’s Azim Premji. On the other, start up founders like Paytm’s Vijay Shekhar Sharma and Byju founder Byju Raveendran are also working their way up the list. It should be noted that when it comes to technology sector, Infosys seems to be in the business of creating billionaires. Four of the top ten billionaires are currently working for the digital giant, or have in the past. Scroll on to see the ten richest tech billionaires on Forbes 100 Richest Indians list:

<ul><li>Fears of a global economic slowdown – worse yet, a recession – have caused a meltdown in IT companies around the world.</li><li>This has eroded the nearly $20 billion wealth of some of India’s top billionaires, wiping away the huge gains they made post-pandemic.</li><li>Even analysts remain divided about the prospects of growth in the Indian IT industry, so it might be the time to be cautious.</li></ul>Inflation has taken the wind out of most of the countries in the world, and the pinch is being felt across all sectors. Food and commodity prices have seen a rapid rise; startups and established giants alike have started feeling the pinch. Some companies have frozen hiring, while others are considering layoffs. The IT industry – which was seeing unprecedented growth as businesses around the world revamped their tech infrastructure – is not as lucrative a bet as it was last year. The Nasdaq Technology Sector Index which tracks some of the world’s largest IT companies, is down 24% since the beginning of the year. Back home, the Nifty IT index is down 22%, too. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;" class="redcator-table-advance"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Index </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Current </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">YTD </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">NDXT </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">7281 </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">-24% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Nifty IT </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">29904 </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.5pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.5pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:0pt 5.75pt 0pt 5.75pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">-22% </td></tr></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody></table>The IT meltdown has impacted Indian billionaires, too.

The research firm has given an ‘outperform’ rating across the sector, in this order of priority – <keyword id="141968" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="hcl-tech" source="Orion">HCL Tech</keyword>, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra. However, analysts at JP Morgan are speaking a different tune, saying that the growth outlook looks worse due to rising margin headwinds amid a macro slowdown. “Indian IT growth was accelerating till 3Q22 and has begun to slow down from 4Q22, which is likely to worsen into FY23 amid a worsening macro. With peak sector growth behind, growth deceleration should continue to weigh on sector multiples,” the firm said in a recent note. Kotak Institutional Equities, on the other hand, pins the blame in the IT sector meltdown on the economic recession, instead of rising risk to margins. While we’ve seen a near unstoppable bull run in the Indian IT sector since the pandemic broke out, probably now is the time to be cautious.

With an annual contribution of ₹1,161 crore in fiscal 2022, Shiv Nadar has displaced Wipro’s Azim Premji as the most generous Indian, according to the EdelGive <keyword id="3606268" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="hurun-india-philanthropy-list" source="Orion">Hurun India Philanthropy List</keyword> 2022. The top 10 list cumulatively donated ₹3,378 crore in FY22, as against a combined donation of ₹12,785 crore last year. The good news is that the list has seen 19 new additions, with total donations by these new entrants adding up to ₹832 crore. Also, six women have featured on the list this year. The youngest philanthropist on the list is 36-year-old Nikhil Kamath of Zerodha. Clearly, the young entrepreneurs are beginning their philanthropic journey early on unlike many others from corporate India. Nadar’s philanthropic efforts have mainly focussed on education. Overall, contributions towards philanthropy have fallen in FY22 because of the pandemic impact. Nadar’s donation too is down 8% in the fiscal year 2021-22, as per the list. Wipro’s Azim Premji slipped to the second spot with an annual donation of ₹484 crore as his contribution towards philanthropy has fallen by 95% year-on-year due to the exceptional share buy-back in 2021, says the report. Billionaire <keyword id="3820" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mukesh-ambani" source="Orion">Mukesh Ambani</keyword>, the chairman of Reliance Industries, is third on the list with contributions totalling ₹411 crore. Ambani’s contribution fell 29% compared to last year. Kumar Mangalam Birla was fourth on the list with a contribution of ₹242 crore. Couples Susmita &amp; Subroto Bagchi and Radha &amp; NS Parthasarathy from Mindtree’s management debuted on the list with a combined donation of ₹426 crore to the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and also entered the top 10 and were ranked fifth. Both Subroto and Parthasarathy are co-founders of Mindtree. With a donation of ₹190 crore, <keyword id="111343" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gautam-adani" source="Orion">Gautam Adani</keyword> &amp; family ranks seventh on the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2022. Next in line is Anil Agarwal &amp; family of Vedanta whose contribution increased by 27% from last year to ₹165 crore. Nandan Nilekani and his wife Rohini Nilekani are ranked ninth and eleventh, respectively, in the list and are active philanthropists. Larsen &amp; Toubro’s group executive chairman AM Naik is ranked tenth with a donation of ₹142 crore in FY22. While many billionaires of the past have turned generous later in life, some new-age tech entrepreneurs are giving away much earlier. <keyword id="1430802" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nithin-kamath" source="Orion">Nithin Kamath</keyword> and Nikhil Kamath of Zerodha increased their donation by a whopping 300% to ₹100 crore during the year. At 36 years, Nikhil Kamath is the youngest philanthropist on the Hurun list. Another surprise entrant this year has been Rakesh Gangwal, the co-promoter of InterGlobe Aviation (company that owns Indigo Airlines). Gangwal debuted this year with a personal contribution of ₹100 crore to the School of Medical Sciences and Technology at IIT, Kanpur. “EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List aims at chronicling the Indian philanthropy landscape and so far the transformation is encouraging. For instance, over the last 5 years, (the) number of donors who have given more than ₹100 crore have grown from 2 to 15, and over ₹50 crore have grown from 5 to 20. Considering the wealth creation potential of India and assuming that the billionaires keep up with philanthropy, I expect these numbers to at least double over the next 5 years,” said Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and chief researcher at Hurun India. <table style="border-width: initial;
