Consumer-goods outfit Dabur, where Burman is chairman, benefited from buoyant rural demand for its popular
hair, skin and oral-care herbal products. It also has healthy export sales, accounting for more than a fourth of its
$1.2 billion revenue. Wealth is shared by five branches of the Burman family, which also has myriad other interests.
Recently, the family teamed up with motorcycle magnate Pawan Munjal (No. 31) to bid for Delhi hospital chain Fortis
Healthcare but dropped out of the race.
