A further 21% of the additional wealth has been generated by pharma, mainly on the back of the rise in healthcare spends and a realigned priority towards personal healthcare stimulated by the Covid-19.” “With rising new wealth creators such as innovative startups, family businesses with strong professional management, investors who believe in the India story, and a demographic advantage that is inferior to none, the India’s wealth creation story is still yet to reach the half-way mark.” “Assuming that for every one Hurun rich lister we have found, we have probably missed two, it is likely that India today has 3,000 individuals with INR 1,000 Cr”, continued, Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher, Hurun India.

Sun Pharma’s share price decreased by 25% during the beginning of March lock down and registered a strong V shaped recovery, and gained back a whopping 60% over the last 6 months. “These V shaped recoveries suggest that the March lows was a reasonably good opportunity to invest in the companies owned by some of the top wealth creators in India”, said Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher, Hurun India.

For more details visit www.hurunindia.netMethodology The IIFL Wealth Hurun India Rich List 2020 has been researched and compiled by the Hurun Research Institute for the seventh year running, using a cut-off of 31 August 2020 when the rate of exchange to the US dollar was INR 73.67. The list relates to Indians only, defined as born or brought up in India. Valuing the wealth of India’s richest is as much an art as it is a science. Sure, Hurun Report has missed some, but our endeavor has been to develop the most comprehensive report of its kind with an objective to identify and acknowledge India’s top entrepreneurs and business owners. The source of wealth includes both inherited and self-made wealth. Hurun Report’s team of researchers have traveled the length and breadth of the country, cross-checking information with entrepreneurs, industry experts, journalists, bankers and all possible sources of information. For unlisted companies, Hurun Research’s valuation is 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, Hurun Report has used the First Chicago Method for valuation.
