Indian entrepreneurs are buzzing with optimism about their finances, far more than their global peers. A new report shows that a whopping 95% of them expect their personal wealth to grow in the coming years. That’s a big contrast to entrepreneurs elsewhere, who aren’t quite as upbeat.
Breaking it down, 56% predict significant wealth boosts, while 39% see steady, moderate gains. This positive vibe is driving them to splurge on luxurious lifestyles, thanks to their forward-thinking global mindset. They’re expanding businesses across borders and enjoying the perks.
The insights come from HSBC Private Bank’s “Global Entrepreneurial Wealth Report 2025.” Indian business owners are leading the pack in spending on high-end real estate for personal use (64%), health and wellness (61%), and luxury experiences like travel or events (59%). These numbers beat the global averages hands down.
Sandeep Batra, Head of International Wealth and Premier Banking at HSBC India, puts it this way: “Their investments in luxury lifestyles, global mobility, and diversified portfolios signal not just confidence in their wealth trajectory but also their readiness to capitalize on the next wave of global opportunities and deepening international wealth corridors as globalization enters a new phase.”
This confidence shines brightest in places like the UK, UAE, India, and Singapore. In India, what’s fueling it? Mostly chances for fresh investments and business ventures (64%), strong returns on their portfolios (56%), a rosy local economy (54%), and solid business results (43%).
Indian entrepreneurs also stand out for their international focus. An impressive 73% hold multiple residencies, compared to the global average of 56%. Most are eager to relocate abroad if it makes sense, with the UK and US topping the list of dream destinations, followed by Switzerland, UAE, and Singapore.
For those eyeing a move, the big draws are a better quality of life for family (78%), access to exciting new investment opportunities (75%), and growing their businesses in fresh markets (71%). It’s clear India’s wealthy entrepreneurs are geared up for a borderless future.
