Business Today had on May 23 reported that the value of the investment swelled to Rs 25,515.50 in Tuesday's intraday trade, up 65 per cent or up Rs 10,069 crore.
With recent Adani investments, Rajiv Jain, who is the chairman and chief investment office at GQG, became of the latest entrants in Forbes Billionaires 2023 list with a net worth of $2 billion. Jain owns 69 per cent stake in the Fort Lauderdale-based firm. The company was co-founded by Jain and the firm’s CEO Tim Carver in 2016.
