Impact

Stock market

Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex went up by 16.1% as on July 31, 2016 to 32,514 on July 31, 2017. For the year under review, BSE Mid Cap (16.4%) and BSE Small Cap Index (2.72%) outperformed the benchmark index. Sensex also outperformed compared to Global indices NYSE (10.5%) and DAX (13.7%). Currently, Indian stock market seems to be trading at an expensive valuation of 23.3x compared to last year’s 19.6x.

“The market capitalization of all listed companies is now equivalent to 84% of India’s nominal GDP which is the highest in emerging markets. This year, we have expanded the list to highlight the success stories of some of the emerging entrepreneurs” says Anas Rahman Junaid, Hurun Report India, Managing Director and Chief Researcher.


“The total number of rich list entrants increased 6 times since we launched the list six years ago; a good indication that Indian entrepreneurs are coming of age with global ambitions” says Rupert Hoogewerf, Hurun Report Global, Chairman and Chief Researcher.

Indian currency depreciated by 3% versus USD during the period under review.

With networth of INR 257,900 Crore Mukesh Ambani (60), the business magnate, ranked first in the list for the sixth consecutive year. Share price of Reliance industries hit nine year high in July 2017. Over the last one year, Reliance Industries shares have gained over 1% every seven days, rising by 56% in 52 weeks. His wealth is 50% more than the GDP of the country of his birth – Yemen.

“It is rare to find a country with such a dominant richest person (Mukesh Ambani) whose wealth is thrice more than that of the no.2 in the list. We have never seen such a wide margin between the richest and the second richest in big countries that include USA, China, UK, Russia and so on”, said Rupert Hoogewerf, Chairman and Chief Researcher, Hurun Report Global

With a networth of INR 89,000 Crore, Dilip Shanghvi (61) of Sun Pharma retains the second place despite shares of his flagship company going down by 36%. FDA USA put Sun Pharma under scanner after having noted regulatory breaches – as situation that led to barring new product approvals.

The Steel Baron, Lakshmi Niwas Mittal (67) secures third position for the first time with a networth of INR 88,200 Crore due to an uptick in steel prices and demand. Recently he also got a reprieve from import tariffs on steel imposed by the US and Europe and a one-time $832 million saving from a new labor contract signed last year with his US workers.

With networth of INR 85,100 Crore, Shiv Nadar (72), the founder and chairman of HCL, the fourth largest software service has acquired Broomfield, Colorado-based mortgage business process and fulfilment service providing company, Urban Fulfilment Services for $30million in August 2017. HCL has introduced innovative hiring procedures, where the company hire and train students straight out of high school – a first of its kind initiative amongst the large cap companies.

Founder of multi-billion dollar IT giant Wipro, Azim Premji (72) registered a fortune of INR 79,300 Crore. He founded the Premji Invest in 2006 and is a private equity fund that manages almost US$2bn of his personal wealth by investing in capital markets and also by picking up minority stakes in start-ups across India, the US and China.

Industry analysis

Industry analysis

At a sectorial level, Pharma / Healthcare (-12.8%) and IT (-5.1%) underperformed among the sectorial indices. All the others performed with at least 15% return – the biggest gainer was realty with a 36.3% return year to date. Indian drug makers are facing pricing pressures and greater regulatory scrutiny in their largest market, the US.

“Demonetization, GST implementation and so on have not impacted wealth creation in organized sector; infact, going by the trend in the list, the aforementioned factors seems to have positively impacted the mega rich and their companies. Despite a solid performance of the corporates, a declining trend in national GDP growth points to impact of such schemes on the unorganized sectors”, said Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher, Hurun Report India.

With 79 individuals, Pharmaceuticals leads the list with Dilip Shanghvi as the richest individual with fortune of INR 89,000 Crore. It is followed by FMCG with 63 individuals and Chemicals & Petrochemicals with 38 individuals. Other industries that had a good year include Consumer Durables, Automobiles & Auto Component and Construction & Engineering.

BSE Realty index have surged on positives such as RERA and affordable housing initiatives by the Modi government. Consumer Durables gained over 32.7% on timely GST developments and rollout. Banking and Financial sectors gained with RBI stepping in to solve the NPA issues.

Kushal Pal Singh (86) of DLF is the richest real estate billionaire in the list with a wealth of INR 27,400 crore. Mangal Prabhat Lodha (61), founder of Lodha Group is the richest private real estate developer in the list with a wealth of INR 18,500 crore followed by Jithendra Virwani (51) of Embassy Property Developments with INR 17,600 crore.

“Formalization of Jewelry sector with 3% GST compared to 2% tax earlier has benefited the large and organized players and has further streamlined the industry value chain” says Anas Rahman Junaid, Hurun Report India, Managing Director and Chief Researcher.

New Energy India Rich Listers: Tulsi Tanti of Suzlon Energy is the top green energy Hurun India Rich Lister with INR 2,300 crore followed by Anil Chaudhary & family of Kolkata based Vikram Solar with a net worth of INR 1,000 crores.

Pharmaceuticals

Despite the underperformance of Pharma sector, it still contributes the highest to the list with 79 entries that includes16 billionaires. In 2017, the sector witnessed a 9% growth in cumulative wealth compared to 17% in 2016. But growth in per capita wealth for pharma entrepreneurs in the list declined by 50% mainly on account of wealth split and a lackluster financial performance of some of the major listed and private companies. For instance, wealth of Dilip Sanghvi, the top pharma billionaire declined by INR 32,400 crore to INR 89,000 crore due to poor performance of Sun Pharma in bourses.

FMCG

63 individuals derived their wealth from the FMCG sector and contributed 28 new entrants and 15 billionaires to this year’s list. This sector witnessed a 45% increase in wealth compared to 14% in last year. With 173% increase in wealth, Acharya Balkrishna of Patanjali Ayurved marks his entry to the top 10 list. Chandra Mohan RG of Hatsun Agro also registered an increase of 123% backed by stellar performance of his company’s share price

Chemicals & Petrochemicals

Indian chemical industry ranks 12 in the world by volume of production and have contributed 38 entrants to the list. Ashwin Dani, Abhay Vakil and Ashwin Choksi, founders of Asian paints, India’s largest paint manufacturer top the chemical entrepreneurs rich list. The sector contributes 17 new entrants to the list of which 9 are self-made.

Consumer Durables

Consumer Durable sector registered a 77% increase in cumulative wealth and is the best performing sector for 2017. It contributes 37 entrants to list, one less than chemical (38) and one more than Automobile (36). Godrej family leads the consumer durable sector with a cumulative wealth of INR 189,100 crore.

Automobiles & Auto Components

Automobile sector grew 53% year on year and has contributed 36 individuals to the list with 12 billionaires. Vikram Lal of Eicher Motors leads the sector with a wealth of INR 44,200 crore followed by Rahul Bajaj of Bajaj Auto and Vivek Chaand Sehgal of Motherson Sumi System with wealth of INR 43,900 crore and INR 27,000 crore respectively.

E-commerce in India

Online sales are nearly flat in 2016, after tripling in 2015 and doubling in 2014. The founders of ecommerce companies have shifted their focus from sales to profits by ceasing subsidised unprofitable sales and concentrated on limiting their losses dented overall sales. Some of the major companies accepted investment based on valuations significantly below their peaks, are now the new normal.

Of India’s 1.2bn population, and only a small portion of 1/5th are shopping online. This is a good opportunity for ecommerce companies. Heavily funded Amazon and Alibaba has resulted in a “bloodbath” in Indian ecommerce. For instance, SnapDeal which had valuation of US$6bn at its speak was struggling to achieve a US$1bn valuation in 2017. This year entrepreneurs such a s Kunal Bahl (SnapDeal), Bhavish Aggarwal (Ola) are some of the famous entrepreneurs who have been knocked out of the Hurun India Rich List 2017 list due to the current ecommerce market competition.

Real estate and jewelry after demonetisation

Real estate is the best performing sector in 2017, with the index returning 36.3% return – possibly because buyers deferred their purchase decision and not discard it due to demonetisation. Performance of the sector is against the general perception that real estate would be the most affected sector on contrary BSE Realty index fared a whopping 48% return after demonetization. Post demonetization, there has been an increased transparency in the purchase and payment system of property. On February 2017 government announced infrastructure status to affordable housing to encourage investment in this segment and offered tax sops to developers sitting on completed but unsold inventories.

India consumes almost all the gold it imports and last year demand was 666 metric tons which is higher than the entire gold reserve of the European Central Bank. Demonetisation and introduction of GST accelerated the gradual shift of customers from the unorganised sector that accounts 78% of the retail gems and jewelry market to the organised sector. On August 2017, Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) was applied to the gems and jewelry sector after demonetisation; it was a fallout of income-tax raids on jewelers soon after demonetisation in last November, when it was found that they sold gold and jewelry at a huge premium and accepted old currency notes as payment.

Methodology

The Hurun India Rich List is a snapshot of wealth as on 31 July 2017. The exchange rate used for US$ was INR 64.1. The list relates to Indians only, defined as born or brought up in India origin their passport today.

Valuing the wealth of India’s richest is as much an art as it is a science. Sure, we have missed some, but we believe the Hurun India Rich List to be the most serious attempt to identify India’s top entrepreneurs and to measure their holdings. Our team of researchers has - for the sixth year running - traveled the length and breadth of the country cross-checking information with entrepreneurs, industry experts, journalists, bankers, and regulators, as well as previous years’ databases. For non-listed companies our valuation was based on a comparison with their listed equivalents using prevailing industry multiples such as Price to Earnings, Price to Sales, EV to Sales, EV to EBITDA and also other methodologies including Discounted Cash Flow, Tobin’s Q and so on. In certain cases of early stage companies, we have used First Chicago Method for valuation.

This year, we have split out siblings, so companies like Muthoot Finance have been split across four individuals.
