Profile
The clan whose fortune was earlier listed under group chairman Adi Godrej, owns the 117-year-old Godrej Group, a $4.5 billion (revenues) consumer goods empire that is making inroads abroad. Listed outfit Godrej Consumer Products, where the patriarch's daughter Nisa works, now gets close to half of its $1.3 billion revenues from overseas markets in Asia, Africa and South America. The family wealth rose along with the value of their vast family estate in suburban Mumbai. They plan to develop it through listed real estate arm Godrej Properties, run by Adi's son Pirojsha.
Fast Fact: Adi Godrej's sister Smita Crishna-Godrej has bought a heritage house in south Mumbai belonging to Homi Bhabha, India's atomic energy pioneer, for $60 million.
