India Tops Global Wealth Growth List: India is witnessing a huge economic transformation as India’s ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs). People who have a net asset value worth more than $30 million—are going to grow at a rate of 50% by 2028, a new global wealth report shows. India is therefore the fastest-growing ultra-high-net-worth marketplace in the world.
India’s super-rich are being spurred on by a combination of drivers: high-speed economic development, expansion of technology and services sectors, expanding consumer markets, and increased participation in global trade. Verticals such as fintech, pharma, renewable energy, and digital infrastructure have bred a new generation of wealth creators.
While this economic visit is promising, there are challenges that accompany it as well. Wealth inequality is a worry. With more millionaires and billionaires, inclusive growth has to touch each level of society. According to experts, there has to be high-net-worth individuals who are the drivers for social impact investing, financing entrepreneurship, education, and health.
This explosion of wealth is a special opportunity to spur private capital into public problem-solving. India has already seen super-rich business leaders underwriting technology incubators, green energy projects, and charitable organizations. With proper policies and inducements, this can be scaled up. India’s super-rich are nation builders.
India’s economic growth, in turn, also enhances its position on the global stage. More ultra-high net worth citizens mean more Indian presence in the global business, think tank, and investor communities. Not only does this give India an increasingly influential voice on global economic policy but also allows it to attract ever increasing foreign investment.
