Not Isha Ambani, Ananya Birla, she is Indian's richest woman, 5th globally, her name is..., net worth is Rs...

In the Hurun Global Rich List 2025, Chairperson of HCL Technologies Roshni Nadar has ranked as the fifth richest women in the world, joining the list of world’s richest women. Apart from this achievement, she has become the only Indian woman to have ranked in the top 10 richest women in the Hurun Global Rich List 2025. With this, Roshni Nadar is the richest women in India. Her net worth, according to the list, is Rs 3.5 lakh crore.    

The story behind her becoming one of the world’s richest women and among the top 5 is inspiring even though when her story is not the rags to riches one, her hard work and vision makes her career and professional reputation indeed inspirational. She is the daughter of Shiv Nadar, the founder of HCL group, who made her the chairperson of HCL Technologies and transferred a 47% stake in the company which increased her worth by many times. This is also the reason that she is the only woman among the top 10 richest individuals in India.
