ABOUT THE BOOK
How a new breed of India’s super-wealthy is redefining the meaning of net worth
There’s more to billionaires than trips to space.
When we think of the very rich, we think of people with great power and who spend lavishly. But there is also a class of the super-rich who use their resources to tackle humanity’s most pressing issues, such as widening social inequities and global climate change. They eventually become master practitioners of Wise Wealth – a remarkable framework of wealth that enriches individuals, families, communities and societies at large.
Wisely wealthy people create wealth ethically, distribute it equitably, spend it prudently, invest it holistically and give it away with vision. Who are these individuals, what are their attitudes towards wealth and success and how did they get there? Some of the wisely wealthy featured in this book are household names, like N.R. Narayana Murthy, Anand Mahindra, Uday Kotak. Others are hidden gems, like Ashish Dhawan, Ravi Venkatesan, Vikram Gandhi and Vineet Nayar. But every one of them is inspiring.
This book chronicles their struggles, innovations and triumphs. In doing so, it offers a charter for Wise Wealth, an idea whose time has come.
