Savitri Jindal, India's richest woman, experienced the highest net worth rise among Indians in the past year, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Her fortune increased by $9.6 billion, bringing her total wealth to around $25 billion, surpassing Wipro's Azim Premji. In contrast, Mukesh Ambani, Asia's richest man, registered a rise of nearly $5 billion with his total wealth now at $92.3 billion. Jindal is chairperson of the OP Jindal Group running listed firms like JSW Steel, JSW Energy, and Jindal Stainless. Savitri Jindal's significant wealth growth positions her as the fifth-wealthiest individual in India, marking a remarkable financial ascent. Gautam Adani was the only Indian billionaire whose net worth dropped during this period, by $35.4 billion to $85.1 billion. But he remains the second-richest Indian after Ambani.
