Reliance Industries head Mukesh Ambani has retained the top spot as the richest Indian once again—now his 10th year of enjoying the title—according to the Hurun India Rich List 2021 published on Thursday. Both the Adani brothers have stormed up to the top 10 positions for the first time ever and there are four new faces in the Hurun India top ten rich list, including those of industrialists Lakshmi Mittal and Kumar Mangalam Birla. Perhaps the newest face in this list is Jay Chaudhry, the California-based entrepreneur of the cloud cybersecurity firm Zscaler, who made it to the list for the first time.
