Roshni Nadar Malhotra, the chairperson of HCL Technologies, has taken the top spot of richest women in India for a second time in a row with a net worth of Rs. 84,330 crores. The third edition of the “Kotak Private Banking Hurun – Leading Wealthy Women List,” which is a list of the richest women in India, was just released, according to a statement released on Wednesday by Kotak Private Banking and Hurun India. The ranking is based on women’s net worth as of December 31, 2021. The report’s 2021 update only discusses women who have made a name for themselves in senior corporate positions. The report celebrates the accomplishments of India’s top 100 self-made or successful female business owners, professionals, and entrepreneurs. The report has examined the sources of the women’s wealth, the industries they work in, where they live, and other factors in addition to ranking the women professionals and entrepreneurs by wealth. In contrast to 2020, when the cut-off was Rs 100 crore, the current list’s cut-off is Rs 300 crore. The average fortune of the women on the 2021 list is roughly Rs. 4,170 crores, compared to Rs. 2,725 crores in the list’s previous iteration. According to Kotak Mahindra Bank CEO Oisharya Das, “Each woman’s journey is different, but what unites them is the desire, commitment, and ambition to succeed. Indian women are slowly but surely becoming more independent as they carve a niche for themselves via education, excellence, passion, and empathy. We are honoured to collaborate with Hurun India and honour the tenacity of 100 such female leaders who are pursuing their goals, carving new paths, and motivating countless other young and aspirant women. Women’s employment, corresponding families, and society as a whole are all directly improved by women-led wealth development, according to Anas Rahman Junaid, MD & Chief Researcher, Hurun India. Social barriers are broken down when women, who make up 50% of India’s population, are included in the workforce or wealth generation. Therefore, the Kotak Private Banking Hurun Leading Wealthy Women List 2021 was created with the goal of achieving a more inclusive tomorrow. We are bound together by passion and inspired by the wealth creation stories of women entrepreneurs and professionals.
