She is the first Indian woman to head a unicorn startup. Ambiga Subramanian, the former CEO of Mu Sigma, added another feather to her already decorated cap- that of being the youngest of India's eight richest self-made women, according to the Hurun India rich list 2017.



With a net worth of over $381 million (she sold her 24 per cent stake in Mu Sigma), Subramanian, 42, ranked fourth after Kiran Mazumdar- Shaw of Biocon.

The annual report also featured a new entrant - Eklavya Juneja , 24, of Mankind Pharma - the youngest person on the list. He owns 12 per cent of Mankind Pharma, founded by father Rajeev Juneja.



And while these two names made some noise in corporate halls, list regulars like Mukesh Ambani, whose wealth shot up by 58 per cent, retained the richest Indian title for the sixth year running. Other notable names include Radhakishan Damani of Avenue Supermarts (321 per cent wealth increase) and Kishore Biyani of Future Retail (259 per cent wealth increase).
