“The age of the ultra HNI is going down and many are below the age of 50 and open to smart gadgets and wearables. Earlier, this category didn't exist,” said Murali Balaraman, partner-advisory services at EY, the consulting firm formerly known as Ernst and Young.
The survey also showed the ultra HNIs shifting away from equities, which it attributed to the near - 20% fall in Indian equities between February 2015 and March 2016 with the benchmark BSE Sensex going from 29,380.73 to 22,951.83 points.
