Richest Indian Tech czars

The global financial crisis has severely affected the Indian IT industry. With the industry's biggest market (US) and largest vertical (BFSI) badly hit, the industry is facing tough times. However, despite the economic downturn, Indian IT honchos have been able to keep their places in the Forbes' Richest Indians list.

While the list has seen a few changes with some new names entering and some falling out, the six tech czars have largely kept their places intact (barring some minor changes). However, like all others, these technology CEOs too have witnessed huge erosion in their net worth vis-a-vis the year 2007. According to Forbes, the wealthiest Indians are worth 60 per cent less than a year ago.

Here are the richest tech czars of India Inc.

Anil Ambani

Sunil Mittal

Azim Premji

Shiv Nadar

Anurag Dikshit
