India's Dollar Billionaires - A Study by Fortune and Waterfield Advisors

article • Investment Management
Fortune India & Waterfield Advisors
14 September 2022 | 5 MINUTE READ

India's progress in its 75 years as an independent nation has been marked by the steady growth of the coveted dollar billionaire club. Today, this club is equivalent to 26.67% of India's $3.1 trillion economy. This fascinating story of wealth calls for a deeper study of this unique community that has traditionally been dominated by family businesses but has lately welcomed the country's new-age entrepreneurs.

To gauge the pulse of India's bustling wealth factory, Waterfield Advisors and Fortune have come together to create our maiden Rich List - a comprehensive ranking of India's richest citizens, on the basis of the wealth they possess. Featuring 142 domiciled billionaires who are collectively worth $832 billion, this list doesn't just reveal the ranking but offers a plethora of insights into the country's billionaire story.

"When I started my entrepreneurial journey as a wealth advisor a decade ago, there were precisely 69 billionaires in the country. A doubling of this number in 10 years is a testament to Asia's rise as the new economic superpower, with India emerging as a major contributor," says Soumya Rajan, Founder & CEO of Waterfield Advisors.

Presenting the maiden Fortune-Waterfield Advisors Rich List.
