Savitri Jindal has gone from an ordinary woman to become Asia's richest female billionaire with a fortune of $18 billion, running a powerful Jindal group that has influence over the entire Indian economy.

Growing up under social prejudice, reluctantly became the mother of 9 children

Savitri Jindal was born in 1950, came from a large family of poor children in the state of Assam (India). From her childhood, she was not happy.

Savitri was used by parents as a labor tool from a young age, from laundry to cooking to helping the family in farming.

Living in such a situation, wanting to go to school is as difficult as going to heaven. Savitri has never stepped foot in the school gates. Even if her family is well-off, a girl like her is unlikely to be able to attend literacy classes.

Savitri's parents often say: "Whatever you do to raise a daughter, you will become someone's child when you grow up". But Savitri's learning ability is very strong, she has secretly learned a lot of knowledge in books.

At the age of 15, her sister Savitri suddenly died of illness, the whole family was engulfed in tragedy. But the biggest headache at that time was that her sister left behind 6 children.

After her sister died, her brother-in-law Om Prakash Jindal relied on his parents-in-law and Savitri to take care of their children, because he was still busy with his career.

One day, my mother said to Savitri: "Well, I will be your brother-in-law's wife to take care of you instead. If your brother-in-law marries another woman, you will have to suffer from the poor stepmother's son-in-law".

Despite disagreeing, Savitri basically has no right to choose. So she was forced by her parents to marry Om Prakash Jindal when she was 15 years old, 20 years younger than her husband.

It is very common for an aunt to become a mother in India. Even Savitri herself couldn't believe that she was getting married, even though she was the husband of her own sister. The oldest grandson is only 2 years younger than her.

After marriage, Savitri immersed herself in the dark busy day. While taking care of her children and her husband, she never complained for a moment.

After that, Savitri and Om Prakash gave birth to 3 children together, plus 6 of her sister's children, creating a large family.

Struggling with 9 children, Savitri basically did not care about her husband's business. What she can feel most clearly is that life is getting better and better, and her husband also gives her more money to spend. Just like that, 36 years passed quietly.

In 2005, Om Prakash died suddenly, disrupting Savitri's peaceful life. Her life began to take an unbelievable turn, she became a female billionaire watched by both India and the world.

Life turned upside down when her husband died

After her husband passed away, Savitri learned that he owned a multi-industry company. This made her feel a great crisis.

For the past 36 years, she has lived only in a small village, even communicating with strangers is difficult, let alone managing the company. But the truth cannot be changed, because as the legal wife of Om Prakash, Savitri becomes the sole heir to the company.

Savitri was extremely bewildered, because her whole life was inherently cramped from the development pace of society. Of course, no one believes that an illiterate woman like her can take over the company.

What made Savitri could not expect that the company that her husband single-handedly built was huge, even affecting the economy of India.

When she understood what her husband used to do, Savitri realized that she did not understand her husband - who was passionate about mechanical equipment since childhood.

After her husband dies in a helicopter crash, 55-year-old Savitri is forced to step out of her comfort zone, say goodbye to her job as a housewife and show up in steel mills.

Leave the gossip out of your ears, stand up and take over the company

A woman like Savitri has no interest in steel, she doesn't even know where to run a company. But not bowing to difficulties, she decided to personally go to factories to study and learn the production process.

Lack of cultural qualifications, Savitri compensates with hard work and focus. Savitri does not want her husband's years of dedication to be destroyed. She must be strong to master everything.

Every time she appeared at the factory, Savitri was always pointed at, said in and out, but she didn't care but just laughed it off.

God did not disappoint, not long after, Savitri had grasped all the production processes of the steel factory. But there are still a lot of things waiting for her to handle. Because to quickly master the profession, Savitri decided to "settle" in the factory.

The despised woman like Savitri has made a miracle, becoming an unprecedented legendary story in Indian history.

Since taking over Jindal Corporation, Savitri has never dared to let go, always trying to learn how to do business.

Looking ordinary, dressed simply, Savitri lives very modestly. Although fate brought her many difficulties, she did not back down or hesitate.

Savitri's behavior and treatment make people feel that she is a weak woman, but in fact her character is extremely determined. The strong thought of standing up after years of locking herself in the house with her children made her want to show more bravery.

Fulfilling the role of a mother of 9 children

Under the guidance of Savitri, Jindal Group is growing day by day. What makes others admire is that Savitri's family is extremely harmonious, 4 sons all respect their mother.

In fact, before his death, Om Prakash divided the company's shares, so that his 4 sons would not monopolize everything. Om Prakash divided the shares of the company into 2 halves, he himself held 50%, the rest was divided equally among 4 sons.

It is possible that because of this insight of Om Prakash, Savitri was able to have absolute power in the family.

4 sons take over a different business. The eldest is in charge of the plumbing company, the second is in charge of the steel company, the third is in charge of the stainless steel company, and the youngest is in charge of the electric power company.

This division did not cause a property dispute to occur. When Om Prakash died, Savitri was in his name all his assets and shares.

The 4 sons are not entirely Savitri's biological children, but treat them equally, so they are very obedient to her.

Although before, she stood on the sidelines next to her husband's massive business empire, but Savitri was like the center that connected family members together.

She takes care of 9 children very well. The 4 sons after marriage still live with their wives and children in the Jindal family's mansion. Savitri divides the mansion into 4 separate areas, connected by a common kitchen, all living in harmony in one house.

As the main breadwinner in the house, along with increasing age, Savitri gradually focused more on family. But the company's major events all have her appearance. Sons make decisions with the consent of their mothers.

By the end of July 2022, Savitri Jindal's fortune was up to 18 billion USD, making her the richest female billionaire in Asia.
