Matriarch of #JindalSteel, who took over her husband’s throne after his death in a helicopter crash in 2005, has seen her fortune rise by at least $12 billion in two years.

As of July 18, her net worth stands at $10.5 billion, as per Bloomberg Billionaire index.

#SavitriJindal's net worth has more than tripled to $17.7 billion in 2022, from $4.8 billion in 2020. However, 2019 and 2020 weren’t good, as her net worth declined by almost 50% from $8.8 billion in 2018 to $5.9 billion in 2019 to $4.8 billion in 2020. Image
#SavitriJindal controls her husband's stake in the O.P. Jindal Group, share in each company will be transferred to the son heading it when she dies, according to exchange filings, reflecting her status as matriarch. Image
According to a @Forbes report, Jindal broke into the top 10 club for the first time with a net worth of $18 billion in 2021, up from $6.6 billion a year ago.

However, she has been the richest woman in India for a couple of years now.

#SavitriJindal was a minister in the Haryana Government and a member of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha from Hisar constituency. She lost the seat in elections held in 2014 for the Haryana assembly. She is now a member of the Indian National #CongressParty.

#SavitriJindal never went to college. And didn’t even know how much her billionaire husband made, mostly because she never even asked.

Although she is the chairperson of the OP Jindal Group, the company is actually run by her four sons — Prithviraj, Sajjan, Ratan and Naveen. Image

Decoded: How the #Rupee trade settlement is tied to India’s trade deficit and forex reserves

businessinsider.in/finance/news/w…

By @jainrounak
India is a trade deficit country, meaning it imports more than it exports — this forces the country to maintain large forex reserves. The ongoing pressure on the #Rupee and its decline against #dollar pushed #RBI to put in place a mechanism to allow international trade in rupees.
Since India is a net importer – with its imports exceeding exports by over $87 billion in 2021-22 – and the value of Indian #Rupee declining consistently, #RBI’s latest decision to allow international trade in rupees is expected to reduce the pressure on India’s forex reserves.

By @Bhaktimakwana18
Starting a business is never easy, more so for women. It is hard to find validation and convince people that you mean business.

Movie producer turned interior designer #GauriKhan, who ventured into creating luxurious spaces has not had it easy with her brand Gauri Khan Designs.
In conversation with @BiIndia, #GauriKhan says it is difficult for people to have real faith in you. “There will be a lot of people especially in my field, when they will have faith in you it is because you are married to so & so but on the other hand it's a drawback.” said Khan.
