Biography

Investor with a Midas touch, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is often referred to as India's Warren Buffett.

Son of an income tax officer, Jhunjhunwala started dabbling in stocks while still in college.

He began investing with $100 in 1985 when the Bombay Stock Exchange Index was at 150; it now trades over 60,000.

His most valuable listed holding is watch and jewellery maker Titan, part of the Tata conglomerate.

Jhunjhunwala's early bets on Star Health and Allied Insurance and Metro Brands paid off when both companies listed in 2021.

About

His privately owned stock trading firm Rare Enterprises, derives its name from the first two initials of his name and his wife Rekha's name.

Jhunjhunwala has backed a new, low-cost airline.

A movie buff, Jhunjhunwala has coproduced several Bollywood films.
