It's remarkable what people can do despite facing tough odds.
Savitri Jindal, married at a very young age to the visionary Prakash Jindal, she took over her husband's company and turned into global company.
Just Five months ago she beat Azim Premji in net worth.
Now she has overtaken another magnate- Shiv Nadar of HCL technologies by closing a massive gap of $31.50 billion.
How? Experts credit the excellent performance of stocks such as Jindal Steel & Power, JSW Energy, and JSW Infrastructure.
During the last 6 months, the stocks of Jindal Steel & Power and JSW Energy have surged by 50% while the stocks of Jindal Infrastructure has gained 30%.
On the other hand, Shiv Nadar saw his net worth fall by $2.6 billion since the beginning of the year, led by a down performance by HCL technologies. Shares of HCL Technologies, the third largest software company by market capitalization, have decreased by as much as 21% from their February highs. In fact, the fall in Shiv Nadar's net worth so far has been the highest among top billionaires in the country.
Savitri Jindal's story is one of resilience and leadership, especially remarkable given her output into the business world after the sudden death of her husband.
Political Career: In addition to her business responsibilities, Savitri Jindal also entered politics. She became a member of the Haryana Legislative Assembly and served as minister in the Haryana government
