India's wealth distribution for the fiscal year 2025-26 reveals significant disparities across various population brackets. With a population of approximately 1.43 billion and around 950 million adults, the total household wealth is estimated to be between USD 16–18 trillion (₹1,300–1,500 lakh crore). Here’s a breakdown of net worth by population brackets: - Top 1%: Ultra-rich, large business owners with a net worth of ₹10–15 crore+ - Top 5%: Big professionals and SME owners with a net worth of ₹3–10 crore - Top 10%: Upper middle and rich individuals with a net worth of ₹1–3 crore - Top 20%: Comfortable asset owners with a net worth of ₹40 lakh – ₹1 crore - Top 30%: Emerging middle class with a net worth of ₹20–40 lakh - Top 40%: Stable middle class with a net worth of ₹10–20 lakh - Top 50%: Barely asset owning individuals with a net worth of ₹5–10 lakh - Bottom 50%: The majority of India, with a net worth below ₹5 lakh This distribution highlights the economic landscape and the varying levels of wealth among the population. There is a strong belief that asset and wealth management services should have the ability and courage to redefine their strategies to uplift the bottom 50%. Can this be achieved? I invite thoughts on this important issue.
