Mumbai: Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of India’s most valued firm Reliance Industries, retained the top spot as richest Indian for the tenth consecutive year, with a total wealth of Rs 6.05 lakh crore, according to Hurun Rich List for India.

On the global level Ambani, 63, has moved to the 8th position from number 9, a year ago, the report showed.

Meanwhile, Landmark company chairman Mukesh Jagtiani is the newest entrant in the list of richest Indians, who is on the 39th position, and globally on the 68th.

The rankings come at a time when the country has been showing signs of recovery after a year of being distraught by the Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in a deep economic impact on the lives. The fear is that there will be a K-shaped recovery, which will result in more inequalities in society.
