Top 10 Real Estate Tycoons: India

The real estate sector is one of the most acknowledged sectors in the world. It consists of 4 sub-sectors namely housing, hospitality, commercial, and retail. The growth of this sector is well supported by the growth of the corporate setting and the demand for office space as well as urban and semi-urban housing.
At the same time, it is expected that this sector will incur more non-resident Indian (NRI) investment in both the short and long term. Bengaluru is expected to be the most preferred property investment address for NRIs, followed by Ahmedabad, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi/NCR, and Goa.

India is home to almost 245,000 capitalists, according to the latest report, and the number is assumed to touch 372,000 by 2022. Furthermore, India’s wealth growth of $451 billion signifies the 8th largest wealth gainer world-wide by country.

From a city-wise aspect, Mumbai is the most favored city of residence for the real estate capitalists with the city being home to 35 of them, followed by Delhi (22) and Bengaluru (21) and Pune which is home to 5 of the richest 100 realtors.
