EDELGIVE and HURUN INDIA release EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2021
(28 October 2021, Mumbai) Hurun India and EdelGive today released the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2021. This is the 8th annual ranking of the most generous individuals in India. This is our attempt to highlight India’s remarkable givers and to capture the growing importance of individual givers in India's philanthropic landscape towards nation-building. Donations were measured by the value of their cash or cash equivalents from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021. This is the eighth year of the list and it follows on from the Hurun India Rich List, a ranking of 1,007 richest individuals in India, released in September 2021 for the tenth year.
EdelGive Foundation has partnered with Hurun India towards creating this report to understand philanthropic giving in the country from a data and evidence point of view. The report is not only significant in understanding data of giving but also throws light on the sectors and geographies that are at the receiving end of this giving. Through this report, we aim to bring to notice the strength of the social sector and access areas which require further growth.
This year’s EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2021 features individuals who have donated INR 5 crore or more during the period under review.
“EdelGive Foundation and Hurun India have been collaborating on the EdelGive Hurun Philanthropy List for the last 3 years, during which time, both organisations have had the privilege of documenting and analysing the constantly evolving patterns of philanthropic giving in India. This year, the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2021, provides us with yet another important opportunity to gain profound insights into the mind-sets and motivations that drive philanthropy in India as it emerges from a paradigm-shifting Covid-19 Pandemic.” – Vidya Shah, Executive Chairperson, EdelGive Foundation.
Commenting on the launch, Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher, Hurun India, said,
“6 times in 5 years. The cumulative donation in EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List has grown from just under INR 2,500 crore to more than INR 14,750 crore today. Considering the current wealth creation velocity in India, in 5 years, I expect the cumulative donation to grow to at least INR 30,000 crore. The stories of the entrepreneurs on the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List, help tell the story of modern philanthropy in India today”
“Entrepreneurs from Pharmaceutical and Software & Services sectors, which are the top wealth creators in Hurun India Rich List 2021, have interestingly secured the top position in terms of cumulative value of donations too. Some of the tech entrepreneurs, who I have interacted with, are in the process of finalising substantial “giving back” plans to causes ranging from education to climate change. For instance, the Kamath brothers of Zerodha have plans to give back INR 750 crore over the next 3 years. I expect to see more such new wealth creators turned givers gaining a spot in the future editions of EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy Lists.”
“I am very stoked that more young entrepreneurs are venturing into philanthropy. Last year’s best news was Binny Bansal being the first philanthropist under the age of 40 to enter the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List. This year, Nikhil Kamath, 35, is the youngest on the list. I hope this will inspire more young wealth creators to not only donate but also to speak more about their donations.''
“Another promising trend is the increase in private donations. 80% of the cumulative donation on the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List 2021 constitutes personal philanthropy, that is, the donations that are in excess of stipulated mandatory CSR spend. Number of personal philanthropists on the list has increased by 85%, from 21 last year to 39 today. “
“C-level executives have been playing a very impactful role in Indian philanthropy. This year’s list includes AM Naik who donated INR 112 crore and Amit Chandra and Archana Chandra who have donated INR 19 crore. This is impressive considering the fact that they are amongst the top 100 philanthropists in the country - ahead of more than 900 individuals who featured on the Hurun India Rich List. Some of the other professionals who are serious philanthropists, but have not yet featured on the list, include KP Balraj, VT Bharadwaj and so on.”
“The preferred cause of India’s top philanthropists has been Education, although on the back of Covid-19, Disaster Relief has grown dramatically to become the second most popular cause this year. I hope the EdelGive Hurun Philanthropy List can help people understand the mindset of some of India’s most successful entrepreneurs and philanthropists, as well as inspire future generations to give back.”
“One of the core objectives of Edelgive Hurun India Philanthropy List is to highlight more stories about philanthropists who have donated in their personal capacity. If we were to add the taxes paid on the dividend payout, which was allocated towards philanthropy, the value of private donations would be even higher.”
“Although only 9 women have entered this year’s list, it is important to highlight the role played by women when it comes to running the family’s charitable trusts. For instance, in most of the family-run businesses that are featured on the list, the spouses of the entrepreneurs are at the helm of the charitable trusts.”
“The sense of philanthropy deeply concurs with our Indian ethos and is widely evidenced by some of the industrialists from our previous generation. For instance, In June 2021, Hurun Research and EdelGive Foundation released the 2021 EdelGive Hurun Philanthropists of the Century, a ranking of the world’s most generous individuals from the past century. With total donations value estimated at US$102.4bn, Mumbai-based Jamsetji Tata (1839-1904), was the world’s biggest philanthropist of the last century.”
“With India boasting of the third largest billionaire population in the world at 237 billionaires and the fastest-growing one at that, we believe that we truly have the power to lead the change. Indian wealth creators have the potency to enable philanthropic structures, systems and processes for overall nation building. It is important to speak about these inspiring philanthropic stories and incite motivational action auguring India’s pace of ‘giving back’ to the society. We need to create forums to celebrate such efforts so that it percolates down to every level of the community and encourages us to embrace the spirit of altruism and humane-living,” concluded Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher, Hurun India.

Methodology
To put together a comprehensive list of the largest philanthropists of India is an almost impossible task. However, we at Hurun believe that, the EdelGive Hurun India Philanthropy List is the most serious and authoritative effort to date, identifying the individuals and highlighting the causes they donate to. To make this list, the Hurun Report surveyed India’s most successful entrepreneurs, including those from the Hurun India Rich List 2021, meticulously cross-referencing the results with media reports and charitable foundations. In the course of the research, Hurun Report attended non-profit related seminars, as well as meeting with scholars, experts, philanthropists, and senior members of charitable foundations.
Hurun Report includes cash and cash equivalents pledged with legally binding commitments for the twelve months from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021, and the latest available CSR data filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
Hurun Report included donations made by companies in which an individual had a significant share by applying the percentage the individual has of the company on the donations. So, for example, Biocon for the period made donations of INR 8 crore, and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw holds 60.68% of the shares of the company, so Hurun Report recorded Shaw’s donations as INR 4.92 crore. In 2015, Azim Premji had transferred a significant part of his shareholding amounting to 39% of the shares of Wipro to trust and foundation, which had been taken into account that year. Since this is a one-time philanthropic donation, it has not been included this year.
The list only includes those individuals born and bred in India regardless of the passport they currently hold. Values are rounded, and past figures are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

About Hurun India
“Promoting Entrepreneurship Through Lists and Research”
Hurun India was launched in 2012, under the leadership of Anas Rahman Junaid, a graduate of the University of Oxford. Junaid met Rupert Hoogewerf, the founder of Hurun Global, through Oxford University and the duo thought it was the right time to speak about wealth creation in India as they saw India booming. Since then, Hurun India has been in the pursuit to celebrate the stories of India’s transparent wealth creation, innovation, and philanthropy.
The Five core pillars of Hurun India are:
- Wealth Creation - We celebrate transparent wealth creation by bringing to light success stories of some of the most amazing entrepreneurs through Hurun Rich Lists.
● Hurun India Rich List is a ranking of individuals with a net worth of INR 1,000 Crore+ and has grown to become the most comprehensive rich list from India. Over the last decade, the list grew from 100 individuals from 10 cities to 1,007 richest Indians, from 76 cities.
● Hurun Leading Wealthy Women List is the ranking of the richest self-made women in India
● Hurun Real Estate Rich List ranks the most successful Real Estate entrepreneurs in the country.
● Hurun India Wealth Report is the most detailed Hurun study on the wealth distribution landscape in India.
- Value Creation - Under this pillar, Hurun celebrates the success stories of some of the most respected Indian companies through Hurun India 500 - a ranking of most valuable non-state-controlled companies and emerging companies and investors that make the future look bright for India through the Hurun India Unicorn Index, Gazelle List, Cheetah List, and Top Investors List.
- Sustainability and Philanthropy - Hurun India Philanthropy List, which is on the 6th year anniversary, ranks India’s most generous entrepreneurs. Hurun India Impact 50 list ranks India’s most sustainable companies based on their alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
- Art - In 2019, the Hurun India Art List was launched, aimed at tracking some of the most successful artists who are alive today by way of cumulative auction prices. Through the art list, our endeavor is to encourage individuals to collect Indian art.
- Lifestyle and Luxury -The Hurun Luxury Consumer Survey debuted in 2019 to encourage an understanding about lifestyle and brand preferences of ultra-high net worth individuals, while curating a survey to help them explain their spending habits.
Globally, The Hurun brand registers an estimated 8 billion views, 50% YoY growth, on the back of lists and research reports.
Hurun India serves as India’s definitive voice celebrating wealth creation, innovation, and growth. Last year, Hurun further expanded its repertoire by releasing the Hurun Global Rich List 2021, a ranking of the 3,228 US dollar billionaires, so-called ‘Nine-Zero Club’, currently in the world and the tenth India Rich List which ranks the 1,007 richest individuals in India, allowing for comparisons between some of the most dynamic economies in the world. The purpose of this list is to try and tell the story of modern India through the eyes of an entrepreneur.
