A man wearing a sports coat. A woman with a small purse. A doctor with a lab coat. What do all of these people have in common? They all have places where a 7-inch tablet would fit perfectly.

Kotak Wealth and CRISIL Research launched the first report on the lives and trends of India’s ultra HNIs (high net-worth individuals) last year.

Total number: If we consider a household with a minimum net worth of Rs 250 million, there are more than 81,000 ultra HNHs in India as of 2011-12. Although, this number represents a miniscule 0.03 per cent of the total households in India, it is poised to more than triple to over 286,000 households by 2016-17. The report suggests that the total net worth of Indian ultra high-net worth households (ultra HNHs) will reach Rs 318 trillion in 2016-17, a nearly five-fold increase from around Rs 65 trillion in 2011-12. This growth in net worth will be driven predominantly by growth in the number of ultra HNHs and the returns on wealth.

Keep yourself hydrated: You might wonder why you need to drink more water during monsoon. Here is the answer – In monsoon, sweat does not evaporate quickly as the humidity levels are high and this prevents the body from releasing heat. Therefore, keeping a bottle of water handy is always advisable. Avoid carbonated drinks as they reduce mineral levels which stop the enzymes from functioning efficiently resulting in indigestion. Instead drink warm beverages such as ginger tea. Always drink boiled and cooled water.
