As per the Wealth Report 2021, there are currently 5,21,653 UHNWIs globally, of which India has 6,884 such people.

Prime Minister Modi led government tried to focus on all the fields measured by the World Bank, focusing on meeting taxes, selling across borders, and determining poverty, making a substantial leap upward.
Besides this, several other factors play a vital role in these UHNWI's leaving India for their greater good.
- Lack of government support: Most of the businesses in India lack government support; even though the government endeavours to create new policies to promote new businesses, massive corruption leads to regular failures in implementation.
- Political disability: India often experiences conflicts, insecurity, violence caused by poor governance, corruption & human right abuses, which makes establishing businesses difficult for safety and security or political freedom.
- Socio-Cultural Reasons: Even though India is a diverse country, there is still discrimination based on ethnicity or religion, making the UHNWI move to other countries to attain more freedom from discrimination.
- Environmental Reasons: Infrastructures lack safety and security because of massive corruption in sectors the administration fails to create safer societies and better infrastructures.
- Tax Fright: To meeting their monthly targets, Indian revenue officials often misbehave with business owners forcing them to displace to countries with much better tax reforms.
