Youngest Indian Entrepreneurs Who Are Self-Made Billionaires

Not even 10 percent of the world’s population holds the status of a billionaire. The percentage accounts for only 0.08 percent of the global population (7.8 billion) and the percentage is even less if we compare it country-wise. This is true for India as only 209 people hold this status including NRIs but not all are self-made billionaires. Only 17 Indians got the place in Hurun’s list of self-made wealthy people under 40.
