The country with the world’s largest democracy has a booming economy that is known to be growing rapidly. India holds the second-largest native population and not surprisingly, has produced many billionaire entrepreneurs and famous financial leaders. Although we are still scaling new heights in terms of becoming a developed nation, our country is home to some of the richest and most successful business tycoons across the globe. The list of top financial leaders in India includes names such as Mukesh Ambani, Rahul Bajaj, Uday Kotak, Sanjiv Bajaj, Gautam Adani, Ratan Tata and Aditya Birla. The business empires created by these famous financial leaders are not limited to India but span across continents. These business tycoons have been able to convert every hurdle into an opportunity and worked their way up the ladder to feature among the top leaders in India. Their success has inspired a new wave of entrepreneurship in India, contributed to the reduction of the employment woes of the youth, and added fuel to the desire of many in being listed among the best businessmen in the country.    

Let’s take a look at some of these entrepreneurs and their lives.
