While Mumbai tops the list with 451 listers and 91 billionaires, Bengaluru’s steady rise underscores the growing decentralisation of wealth across India. The city’s position reflects its thriving tech ecosystem, which has become a major driver of its economic growth.
The Hurun India list highlights the diversification of the nation’s wealth, with Bengaluru’s prominence in the IT and tech sectors balancing out its industrial and pharmaceutical billionaires. The city follows Delhi and Mumbai in number of billionaires, and it continues to attract high-net-worth individuals, further cementing its place as one of India’s key financial hubs.
In 2025, Mukesh Ambani of Reliance remains Asia’s richest, while Bengaluru’s Premji, with a wealth of Rs 2.2 trillion, stands as a key figure in the tech landscape. As India continues to grow in the global wealth rankings, Bengaluru’s role is expected to become more influential, with its diverse industries contributing significantly to India’s expanding economy.
