Many Indian billionaires suffered major losses in their lives due to a fall in their businesses. However, they bounced back and overcame the loss. They still are among the richest people in India. One such person is Uday Kotak, founder of Kotak Mahindra Bank. The 65-year-old billionaire lost Rs 15,954.65 crore on Monday after his bank's shares ended nearly 5 per cent lower after its September quarter earnings failed to cheer investors.
 
The market valuation of the bank eroded by Rs 15,954.65 crore to Rs 3,55,784.02 crore. The stock was the biggest laggard among the BSE Sensex firms. Sharp fall in Kotak Mahindra Bank shares dragged the markets lower.

However, despite this, Uday Kotak has a real-time net worth of Rs 114333 crore, as per Forbes. He is India's richest banker. His Kotak Mahindra Bank is among India's top four banks in the private sector. Born in Mumbai, Uday Kotak spent his childhood in a joint-family household.
