The Indian business industry witnessed a significant shift in thrones when Gautam Adani dethroned Mukhesh Ambani and became the wealthiest man in India. The chairman of the Adani group, Gautam Adani, is declared the reigning king of wealth by the Boomerang Billionaires Index. 2024 definitely started well for the businessman who was close behind Ambani in the race and now has overtaken the former richest man of India.
The Adani industries suffered a major hiccup in 2023 when the family-run conglomerate was accused of market manipulation, which subsequently hammered its market stock prices. The company suffered a hiccup of USD 150 million from its total market value after they were charged with fraud by US investment research firm, Hindenburg Research.

This clean chit from the authoritie has restored the Adani's reputation.
