The deadly second wave of the Coronavirus sweeping across India has put a massive strain on the country’s health infrastructure. One of the biggest concerns has been the acute shortage of oxygen across hospitals in Delhi and the National Capital Region, Mumbai, and several other places. The last couple of weeks has seen hospitals across the national capital asking for help, pointing towards their fast-depleting oxygen reserves.
The crisis has another dimension. It has brought many citizens and civil society together in combating the issue. Many non-profit organisations and citizen-led volunteer groups have been working round-the-clock in trying to procure oxygen and making them available to the patients.
Fortune India’s photo team was on the ground to chronicle the crisis.

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.
