R. Thyagarajan: The Billionaire Who Drives a ₹6 Lakh Car and Lives with No Mobile Phone

R. Thyagarajan, the founder of the Shriram Group, is a billionaire unlike any other. Despite overseeing a ₹1.10 lakh crore business empire, he leads a life of remarkable simplicity. He drives a modest ₹6 lakh car, doesn’t use a mobile phone, and prefers to remain out of the public spotlight.
Starting in the 1960s with a small chit fund company, Thyagarajan built the Shriram Group into a financial powerhouse by catering to underserved communities, including truck drivers and low-income individuals. His visionary approach filled the gap left by traditional banks and led to rapid expansion across India.
Even with such success, Thyagarajan remains grounded. His commitment to humility and philanthropy is evident, as he plans to dedicate the proceeds from his $750 million stake to charitable causes. In recognition of his contributions, he was awarded the prestigious Padma Bhushan in 2013 by President Pranab Mukherjee.
