India’s recovery from a deadly second wave of Covid-19, which broke out earlier this year, restored investor confidence in the world’s sixth-largest economy. Scaling new peaks, the benchmark Sensex rose 52% from a year ago. As a result, the nation’s 100 richest have never been richer; they are collectively worth a record $775 billion after adding $257 billion—a 50% gain—in the past 12 months.

After shrinking 5.8% in 2020, Singapore’s economy has revived and is expected to grow 6% to 7% this year.
