"From an Indian wealth creation perspective, 2022 will be remembered for Adani's meteoric rise. Briskly expanding his commodity trading company into a coal-to-port-to-energy conglomerate, he is the only Indian to have built not one, but seven companies with a market cap of one lakh crore. The cumulative wealth growth of the IIFL Wealth Hurun India Rich List 2022 excluding Adani is only 2.67 percent compared to the overall 9 percent," IIFL Wealth Hurun India said.
