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.

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 demonetisationReal 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.Notable Philanthropic Donations in Hurun India Philanthropy List 2016:Mukesh Ambani, donated INR 303 Cr towards healthcare.

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.
