Abhay Firodia
Abhay Firodia is chairman of Force Motors, maker of vans, pickup trucks, SUVs and tractors and privately held auto parts firm Jayahind Industries.
The company, earlier known as Bajaj Tempo when it was a joint venture with the Bajaj clan, is run by his son Prasan since 2009.
It was founded by his late father, Navalmal Firodia, in 1958, who fell out with the Bajaj family in 1968 after a bitter feud.
The bulk of Firodia’s wealth is from stakes he continues to hold in various Bajaj companies.
Jaya Hind Industries, which has a joint venture with French auto parts firm Montupet, makes aluminium castings for the auto sector.
