Hurun India has proudly unveiled the inaugural edition of the '2024 Hurun India Under35s’. This exclusive list highlights 150 exceptional entrepreneurs in India who are 35 years old or younger. Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher, Hurun India, said: “Our research underscores the dynamic entrepreneurial spirit among India’s Under-35 demographic, particularly as the country’s economy continues to expand. These young business leaders have rapidly established successful companies, adeptly navigating challenges such as geopolitical complexities, inflation, and other economic headwinds. We estimate that each of our Under-30 entrepreneurs has built businesses valued at around US$10 million, while our more experienced Under-35 cohort showcases enterprises worth approximately US$50 million, with some achieving valuations up to a hundred times that. Given India’s promising economic outlook, we expect many of our ambitious Under-30s to transition to the senior list as their ventures soar.”
Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's daughter, Isha Ambani, and Parita Parekh, co-founder of Toddle, are among the youngest women named in the Inaugural 2024 Hurun India Under-35 list. Isha serves as the non-executive director of Reliance Retail, while Parita heads learning at Toddle, a collaboration platform for teachers. The list features 150 Indian entrepreneurs under the age of 35. Seven women are featured on the list, four of whom are carrying forward their family businesses. Other notable women include Ghazal Alagh, the founder of the personal care brand Mamaearth.
The youngest entrepreneur featured on the list is Ankush Sachdeva, co-founder and CEO of Sharechat and an IIT Kanpur graduate. The list also includes Mukesh Ambani’s son, Aakash Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) and Isha's twin brother.
