Profile
Revenues and earnings at Rajesh Exports, India's largest manufacturer and exporter of gold jewellery, which he co-founded in 1989 with older brother Prashant, fell in a dull market. But shares recovered after the government eased gold import rules in May and allowed banks to give loans to jewellers. In July, the company won a $210 million order from a UAE jeweller. His fortune is also derived from stakes in African gold mines.
