The list of some of the wealthiest women of India is out and certainly, the thing that made the most news was of Nykaa’s Falguni Nayar taking over the Kiran Mazumdar Shaw in the ranking of the list.
The Kotak Private Banking Hurun Leading Wealthy Women list of 2021 based on its calculations till December 31st, 2021 and apparently there are 25 new people entering the list. There was even seen a total increase of wealth by 53% from the top 100 women mentioned in the list.

According to reports the pharmaceuticals sector had the highest number of new names being added to it with healthcare and consumer goods coming in after. The list also revealed that the number of self-made women is also increasing with 9 out of 20 women in the under 40 or younger category claiming the title.
Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and chief researcher at Hurun India commenting on the list said “Women-led wealth creation directly improves women’s employment, corresponding families, and society. Inclusion of women, who represent 50% of India’s population in the workforce or wealth creation, cuts across societal barriers.”
This is certainly interesting to note how women are becoming more and more successful in the business sector.
