1 year from now

Bharat Desai and Neerja Sethi founded IT consulting and outsourcing company Syntel in 1980 with an initial investment of $2,000. The company has since grown to generate nearly $1 billion in revenue and employ 24,000 people across the globe. Desai and Sethi met while working for Tata Consulting Services in the US and both earned their MBAs from universities in the US. Sethi's stake in the company was not enough to keep her in the billionaires rank in 2017 due to a sharp decline in Syntel's shares in late 2016. This decline has been attributed to the uncertainty surrounding the Trump administration and the financial services and health care industries.
