The rise of Adani to the top of the Hurun India Rich List is indicative of a larger pattern in the nation. "India is emerging as Asia's wealth creation engine!" declares Hurun India's founder and chief researcher, Anas Rahman Junaid. The compelling data supporting this claim shows that, whereas China had a 25% decrease in the number of billionaires, India saw a notable 29% gain, resulting in a record 334 billionaires in the nation overall.
The traditional sectors in India are not the only ones experiencing a boom in wealth generation. Young entrepreneurs are becoming more and more noticeable in the Hurun India Rich List of 2024. Kaivalya Vohra, 21, of Zepto, is the youngest billionaire on the list. The second youngest co-founder, 22-year-old Aadit Palicha, demonstrates the potential of India's startup scene.
