In a remarkable testament to entrepreneurial strength, over 50% of India’s billionaires come from Gujarat — a state that makes up just about 5% of the country’s population. This striking statistic highlights the exceptional business acumen, risk-taking ability, and deep-rooted trading culture of the Gujarati community.
From legendary industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani to global business magnate Gautam Adani, Gujaratis have played a defining role in shaping India’s economic landscape. Gujarat’s historical legacy of commerce and trade, bolstered by its mercantile traditions, has cultivated generations of entrepreneurs who excel both within India and on the global stage.
Adding to this advantage is the strong political-business ecosystem embedded in the state. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was Gujarat’s Chief Minister for over a decade, has long maintained close associations with prominent Gujarati businessmen. These ties have translated into business-friendly policies and political goodwill, creating an environment where industry thrives.
Modi’s ascent to national leadership further elevated the prominence of Gujarat’s business elite, enhancing their access to policy corridors and consolidating their influence. This synergy of culture, politics, and enterprise continues to keep Gujarat at the forefront of India’s wealth creation story.
