According to Forbes, "Five years ago, when Goenka took charge of home textiles maker Welspun India (part of her family’s $3 billion in revenue Welspun Group), the buzz in the male-dominated industry, she recalls, was: “Welspun has lost its mind.” Goenka has doubled down to disprove that. Revenue and earnings are up several fold, with net profit of $81 million on revenue of $790 million in the year ended Mar. 2015. Welspun India’s soaring market cap—recently at $1.6 billion—has helped propel the Goenkas back into the ranks of the country’s richest.
