While Mittal is ranked 14th, Tata and Nooyi are placed at the 22nd and 23rd positions, respectively, on the magazine’s list.
On Tata, 69, the magazine says he is the head of one of India’s most venerated family businesses and enjoys a unique stature. The group has interests in areas like software, hotels, steel, consulting, and wireless and cable services.
“Since taking over in 1991, Tata has made numerous big-ticket deals. But his heart is set on a project closer to home: creating a $2,500 car that middle-class Indians can buy,” the magazine says.
On Mittal, 57, Fortune says had he remained in his native India and joined the family steel company, odds were that he would merely be a prosperous local businessman.
“Instead he set out on his own and became the Andrew Carnegie of our era, with operations in more than 60 countries, 320,000 employees - and a personal fortune of more than $40 billion,” the magazine adds.
