In the world’s youngest nation—where over 65% of the population is under 35—India’s future is already being shaped by those bold enough to lead it. From boardrooms to breakout ideas, a new generation of business leaders is rewriting the rules. This year's Fortune India’s 40 Under 40 celebrates these changemakers—icons in the making like Akash Ambani, Kaviya Kalanithi Maran, Shashwat Goenka, Parth Jindal, Aman Mehta, and Devansh Jain—who are not just carrying forward legacies but boldly reimagining them for a new era. Alongside them are first-generation disruptors like Sagar Daryani, scaling Wow! Momo with a vision to take ₹100 momos to 5,000 cities, and Palak Shah, turning the Banarasi weave into a global fashion story with Ekaya Banaras. These are the entrepreneurs turning ambition into scale. And even beyond traditional industry, the entrepreneurial wave is pulling in creative forces—Ranveer Singh, for instance, is shaking up wellness and nutrition with Bold Care and SuperYou, proving that passion, backed by purpose, is the new blueprint for building brands.
"This transaction will allow Piramal Enterprises and its subsidiaries to fulfil their future office space needs," the filing says.
The subsidiary's turnover for FY21, FY22 and FY23 was ₹71.27 lakh, ₹151.35 lakh, and ₹70.42 lakh, respectively. The company intends to utilise a certain portion of these office premises and expects to capitalise on space as and when it becomes available to meet the rising operating demands.
Additionally, Piramal Enterprises has made an investment of ₹289.59 crore in PCPPL through participation in the rights issue.
On December 21, 2023, after the RBI tightened rules governing alternate investment funds (AIFs), Piramal Enterprises Ltd (PEL) said it would keep aside funds to cover its exposure to such funds. "As of November 30, 2023, the value of investments by PEL and Piramal Capital & Housing Finance Limited in AIF units was Rs. 3,817 crores," Piramal Enterprises said.
Of this, says the company, ₹653 crore pertained to funds with no exposure to any debtor companies of Piramal Enterprises. Of the remaining ₹3,164 crore, ₹1,737 crore worth of downstream investments have been made by the AIF into 3 entities that are (or were in the last 12 months) debtor companies of Piramal Enterprises.
"Taking a conservative view of the regulatory intent, PEL intends to adjust the entire ₹3,164 crores in our financial statements through capital funds or provisions. We are engaging with relevant stakeholders to finalise the details," said Piramal.
