Earned income is the prime source of HNW wealth creation in India, reflecting the presence of a large number of high-earning executives in the country. As an economic powerhouse in Asia, India is home to several conglomerates and technology giants, with many global multinational corporations establishing their headquarters and operations in the country. As the Indian economy recovers from the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, executive compensation has been on the rise.
