India’s wealth distribution and philanthropic efforts reflect a significant trend among the ultra-rich, as evidenced by Hooran India's 2024 philanthropy list, which noted that 203 individuals donated nearly Rs 9,000 crores in the last financial year. This list highlights the growing participation of women in philanthropy, showcasing figures like Sushmida Bakchi and Rohini Nilakani among the top contributors. The increased visibility of this charitable giving marks a shift in how the wealthy engage with society, moving from relative secrecy to a more open acknowledgment of their financial contributions. By tracking these philanthropic trends, a narrative is created around wealth that emphasizes social responsibility, encouraging others to follow suit in their giving patterns.
