Profile

Sanjiv Goenka inherited the businesses that form part of his $2 billion (sales) RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group from his late father, Rama Prasad Goenka, who died last year but had already divided his assets between him and sibling Harsh (No. 91). Group's biggest asset is 114-year-old power utility CESC which has 2.5 million customers in eastern India and is in the midst of an ambitious capacity expansion. Wharton-educated son Shashwat, who recently took charge of 150-year-old supermarket chain Spencer's, has big plans to more than triple the number of its hypermarkets to 100 by 2017.
