The 3rd edition of the report encapsulates the resilience, dynamism, and competitive spirit ingrained in Indian businesses in a growth-challenged world.

Indian companies and their leadership deserve great acclamation for their contribution to the country’s unique positioning today. As India heads towards a $5 trillion economy, it will be critical to leverage emerging trends like China plus 1, MSME, and 'Bharat' that will act as engines of growth for the country.”

The India 500 companies have made significant contributions towards nation-building, representing 28% of India's GDP and employing 1.3% of the country's workforce.

Methodology
The 2023 Burgundy Private Hurun India 500 is a list of the 500 most valuable companies that are headquartered in India. Government/ State-owned companies and subsidiaries of foreign as well as Indian companies are excluded. Although the cut-off date for the list is 30th October 2023, we have taken an exception for Global Health, Bikaji Foods International and Five-Star Business Finance for which we have considered the closing market cap of the listing day. The aforementioned companies were in the process of going public/ getting listed during the cut-off date.
Valuing private companies is as much an art as it is a science. Surely, Hurun India may have missed some companies, but our endeavor is to develop the most comprehensive report of its kind with an objective to identify and acknowledge India’s top businesses. Hurun Report’s team of researchers have traveled the length and breadth of the country, cross-checking information with entrepreneurs, industry experts, journalists, bankers and other sources of publicly available data.
For unlisted companies, Hurun Research’s valuation is based on a comparison with their listed equivalents using prevailing industry multiples such as Price to Earnings, Price to Sales, EV to sales, EV to EBITDA. Other methodologies such as Discounted Cash Flow and Tobin’s Q are also used. In certain cases of early- stage companies, Hurun used the First Chicago Method for valuation. Financial information used is from the latest available annual reports or audited financial statements.

About Hurun India
“Promoting Entrepreneurship Through Lists and Research”
Hurun India was launched in 2012, under the leadership of Anas Rahman Junaid, a graduate of the University of Oxford. Junaid met Rupert Hoogewerf, the founder of Hurun Global, through Oxford University and the duo thought it was the right time to speak about wealth creation in India as they saw India booming. Since then, Hurun India has been in pursuit to celebrate the stories of India’s transparent wealth creation, innovation, and philanthropy.
The Five core pillars of Hurun India are:
First, we spotlight Value Creation by companies, the heartbeat of a developing India. It's through their innovation and excellence that economic growth is fueled, paving the way for a prosperous tomorrow.
Next, we focus on Wealth Creation. As these companies thrive, wealth is generated, birthing a new era of affluent entrepreneurs and businesses. This wealth is not just financial; it's a wealth of knowledge, experience, and opportunity, essential for India's next 10-15 years.
For exponential growth, disruption is key. Enter our third pillar: Start-Ups. These engines of innovation are the primary source of leapfrog growth, challenging the status quo and opening new doors of possibilities.
While economic development is crucial, philanthropy plays an equally vital role in ensuring wider prosperity. Our fourth pillar, Philanthropy, is about giving back, creating a balanced ecosystem where everyone progresses together.
Lastly, we celebrate our rich heritage with the fifth pillar: Culture. India, home to one of the oldest civilizations, boasts a myriad of artists. Yet, they remain undervalued on the global stage. The Hurun India Art List aims to change this, promoting our artists to the Hurun network, encouraging appreciation and collection of their work.
