Profile
Shares of consumer-goods outfit Marico, which he chairs, got a lift when it reported a 26% rise in net earnings to $109 million in the year ended March. The company, which sells in 25 countries and aspires to be an Indian multinational, cut the price of its popular Parachute coconut hair oil, a category in which it competes with Anand Burman's (No.15) Dabur. Sharrp Ventures, his family office, is looked after by son Rishabh. Mariwala, who shares wealth with his uncle and cousins, is writing a book about his business career that is due out next year.
One in every 10 coconuts grown in India is used by Marico
