Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher, Hurun India, said, “The unprecedented wealth creation in the past five years in India, when other countries are stalling and are in a recessionary mode, reaffirms India as the ‘engine of growth for the global economy’.

The cumulative wealth of the entrants in 40 & Under Self-made List has increased by 11% in comparison to last year, currently standing at INR 1,83,700 crore highlighting the increasing rate of entrepreneurship that exists in the ecosystem.
