The Indian Premier League (IPL) is not only known for its cricket, but also includes entertainment, high-risk strategies and sometimes drama. This season, everywhere: Sanjiv Goenka, the powerful owner of the Lucknow Super Giant (LSG). Sanjiv Goenka is not only a businessman with deep pockets. Born in Kolkata, he belongs to the famous Goenka business family. But he not only enjoyed the inherited wealth, but also established it. He is in charge of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group (RPSG), a large business empire with interests in electricity, retail, media, entertainment and sports.
According to reports, Sanjiv Goenka expressed admiration for Mukesh Ambani at the press conference. He went on to say that he thought Ambani was his inspiration because few people could think like him.
In 2025, his net worth exceeds Rs 3.42 crore. His company owns Spencer’s Retail! According to data from the United States East (ET Now), the group earns more than Rs 2.56 crore in revenue each year and holds assets worth Rs 6 billion.
Goenka has attracted national attention in the aftermath of his match against KL Rahul in May 2024. After LSG lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad, the camera caught him in a nervous chat with the captain. Fans quickly responded, calling him “too involved” or even “disrespectful.” The video spread, sparking debate about how much control the owner should have.
Goenka’s involvement in cricket is a serious business. In 2021, he paid Rs 709 crore (about US$829 million) for the Lucknow IPL team, more than Mukesh Ambani paid for the Mumbai Indians. In 2025, he signed Rishabh Pant again, signing the headlines for Rs 27 crore.
LSG also retains stars like Nicholas Pooran and Ravi Bishnoi. The team used Rs 11.99 crore in the Rs 12 crore budget, which demonstrates Goenka’s commitment to winning.
