Methodology


The inaugural 2024 Barclays Private Clients Hurun India Most Valuable Family Businesses, compiled by the Hurun Research Institute, aims to celebrate and recognize India's foremost family-run enterprises. To be included on the list, a next-generation member from the founding family must be actively involved in managing the business or serving on its board. This initiative highlights the integral role family businesses play in the Indian economy, contributing significantly to its growth and stability.


The rankings are determined based on company valuations as of the cut-off date, March 20, 2024. The methodology for valuation excludes private investments and liquid assets, and it adjusts for cross holdings to prevent double counting. For instance, with the Taparia Family, we considered the full value of Supreme Industries and 70% of Supreme Petrochem. The remaining 30% of Supreme Petrochem is owned by Supreme Industries, so we assume its value is already included and, therefore, excluded it from our calculations.


Overall, Hurun Research's primary objective with this report is to provide a comprehensive overview that both acknowledges and celebrates the critical role that family businesses hold within the country.

About Hurun India


“Promoting Entrepreneurship Through Lists and Research”


About Hurun India “Promoting Entrepreneurship Through Lists and Research” Hurun India was launched in 2012, under the leadership of Anas Rahman Junaid, a graduate of the University of Oxford. Junaid met Rupert Hoogewerf, the founder of Hurun Global, through Oxford University and the duo thought it was the right time to speak about wealth creation in India as they saw India booming. Since then, Hurun India has been in pursuit to celebrate the stories of India’s transparent wealth creation, innovation, and philanthropy. The Five core pillars of Hurun India are:


First, we spotlight Value Creation by companies, the heartbeat of a developing India. It's through their innovation and excellence that economic growth is fuelled, paving the way for a prosperous tomorrow.


Next, we focus on Wealth Creation. As these companies thrive, wealth is generated, birthing a new era of affluent entrepreneurs and businesses. This wealth is not just financial; it's a wealth of knowledge, experience, and opportunity, essential for India's next 10-15 years. For exponential growth, disruption is key.


Enter our third pillar: Start-Ups. These engines of innovation are the primary source of leapfrog growth, challenging the status quo and opening new doors of possibilities. While economic development is crucial, philanthropy plays an equally vital role in ensuring wider prosperity.


Our fourth pillar, Philanthropy, is about giving back, creating a balanced ecosystem where everyone progresses together.


Lastly, we celebrate our rich heritage with the fifth pillar: Culture. India, home to one of the oldest civilizations, boasts a myriad of artists. Yet, they remain undervalued on the global stage. The Hurun India Art List aims to change this, promoting our artists to the Hurun network, encouraging appreciation and collection of their work.
