The Hurun Global Rich List 2025 has been released, giving us a closer look at India’s billionaires. India now has 284 billionaires, making it one of the fastest-growing countries in terms of ultra-rich individuals. This year’s list is special because it features two young entrepreneurs who have become India’s youngest billionaires.

Meet India’s Youngest Billionaires

At just 34 years old, Shashank Kumar and Harshil Mathur, the co-founders of Razorpay, have made it to the billionaire club. Each of them now has a net worth of ₹8,643 crore. Their journey is inspiring—they started a fintech company that has changed the way businesses handle digital payments in India. Their success shows how innovation and entrepreneurship are shaping the future.

India’s Growing Startup Success

The rise of Razorpay in the Hurun Rich List highlights India’s booming startup ecosystem. Over the last decade, India has become a global hub for new businesses.

Her achievements in the tech industry have secured her place among India’s richest individuals, inspiring many women entrepreneurs.

For years, Mukesh Ambani has been the richest man in India. However, this year, his ranking has dropped as new entrepreneurs and industries rise. This shows how India’s economy is changing, with technology and startups playing a bigger role in wealth creation.
