Roshni Nadar Malhotra, the daughter of HCL founder Shiv Nadar, is about to become the third-richest person in India and the richest woman in the country. This change happened because her father gave her a big gift on March 6. He transferred his shares, which make up 47% of two companies: Vama Sundari Investments (Delhi) Private Limited and HCL Corporation Private Limited. This is part of his plan to pass on the family business.
Current Rankings Of India’s Richest
Right now, Mukesh Ambani is the richest person in India with a net worth of $88 billion. He is followed by Gautam Adani, who has $68.9 billion. Before Roshni inherited wealth, Shiv Nadar was third with a net worth of $35.9 billion. However, after giving his shares to Roshni, he will drop down in the rankings.
