November 27, 2025

India’s markets are minting a new class of first-generation millionaires: entrepreneurs who’ve scaled ideas into Initial public offerings (IPOs) and unlocked unprecedented personal wealth.

- Shipra Singh

In an interview with Mint, Ashish Shanker, managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO), Motilal Oswal Private Wealth, shares how these new-age millionaires invest and approach wealth differently than the legacy high net worth individual (HNIs) or family offices.

How are new-age entrepreneurs approaching wealth creation differently from legacy HNIs?

We're seeing the rise of a much younger set of millionaires and even billionaires in India as the startup ecosystem matures. These are founders who built firms over 10-15 years, raised venture capital, scaled aggressively and are now monetizing, either through IPOs or stake sales.
