Hurun Global Rich List 2025: Roshni Nadar Becomes 1st Indian to be Part of World’s Top 10 Richest Women List

New Delhi: Roshni Nadar Malhotra, chairperson of HCL Technologies, has made history by becoming the first Indian to be named among the world’s top 10 richest women in the Hurun Global Rich List 2025.

Malhotra is fifth on the list with a net worth of around Rs 3.5 lakh crore. She rose to the rank after her father Shiv Nadar transferred a 47 per cent stake in HCL Tech, as part of a long-term succession plan, and making her the third-richest person in the country in 2025.

Malhotra has been chairperson of HCL Technologies since July 2020 and is also a trustee of the Shiv Nadar Foundation.

HCL Technologies, one of India's leading IT services companies, earns an estimated $12 billion in annual revenue.

In the Hurun list, women who secured spots in the top 10 include Alice Walton (Walmart), Francoise Bettencourt Meyers (L’Oréal), Julia Koch & family (Koch Industries), Jacqueline Mars (Mars), MacKenzie Scott (Amazon), Miriam Adelson & family (Las Vegas Sands), Abigail Johnson (Fidelity), Marilyn Simons & family (Renaissance), and Linda Stephens & family (Endeavor Energy Resources).
