The son of an income tax officer, Jhunjhunwala has said that he became fascinated with stocks as a child after watching his father balance his market investments.
Jhunjhunwala began investing in the stock market in 1985, when he was 25 years old - he started off with $100 that he had borrowed from a relative, reports say.
He later set up Rare Enterprises - the name was coined from the first two letters of his name and that of his wife Rekha.
He had the reputation of being a risk-taker in his investments, many of which paid off spectacularly.
In a 2021 profile, Forbes wrote that while Jhunjhunwala "acquired his legendary Midas touch by picking winning stocks", he has also recently started seeing his private equity investments pay off.
A decade ago, he told Reuters in an interview that he didn't like being called "India's Warren Buffett", adding that the Berkshire Hathaway CEO was "far, far ahead" of him.
"I'm not a clone of anybody. I'm Rakesh Jhunjhunwala," he had said.
