India's Top 100 Billionaires

August 2025

As India continues to be the world’s fastest-growing major economy, Fortune India presents its special issue on the nation’s Top 100 Billionaires. Curated in partnership with Waterfield Advisors, this year’s list reflects a slight decline in the number of dollar billionaires—from 185 to 182—even as the entry threshold for the Top 100 rose to ₹24,283 crore, up from ₹22,739 crore last year. From stalwarts like Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, and the Mistry family, who continue to lead the list, to major gainers such as Sunil Mittal and Kumar Mangalam Birla, the issue goes beyond the numbers to explore the resilience, ambition, and strategic foresight that define India’s wealth creators.

FCL will use this channel to enhance overseas distribution of five of its popular brands—Tasty Treat, Sangi’s Kitchen, Desi Atta Company, Golden Harvest and Mother Earth.

“Future Consumer Limited has developed a strong presence in India. Our partnership with Choithrams will help us explore international markets for our products, and make our leading brands available to consumers across the Middle East," said Ashni Biyani, managing director, FCL.

The retail majors signed this partnership during the Gulfood Dubai 2019, a popular food and hospitality show.

Choithrams plans to export international brands across select Future Group formats.

“...I think together we will add an array of new products for consumers in the UAE and increase our range of products catering to different nationalities,” said Rajiv Warrier, CEO, Choithrams.

With this partnership, consumers in India and the Middle East will get access to a range of brands that were earlier not available to them.
