Decades later, he borrowed \u20b910,000 from his mother and started Vedant Fashions. That company now runs more than 670 stores across 245 cities, with 14 international stores, and his stake in it is worth roughly $1.3 billion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/ravi-modi\/?sh=24bfded06830#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number itself is not what makes the story unusual. It is the method. No venture capital, no heavy borrowing, no exit. He built the company out of profit and then held on to it, which explains why he skipped his own listing ceremony and still lives on the outskirts of Kolkata, growing fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where_ravi_modis_net_worth_comes_from\"><\/span><strong>where ravi modi&#8217;s net worth comes from<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost all of Ravi Modi&#8217;s wealth traces to Vedant Fashions Ltd., the parent of Manyavar, Mohey, Twamev, Mebaz, and Manthan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/amp\/business\/from-rs-10000-this-man-built-a-rs-32000-crore-empire-that-is-synonymous-with-indian-weddings-9138075.html#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>. His stake in the company was worth roughly $1.3 billion by June 2026, making him the 2,890th richest person in the world according to Forbes <a href=\"https:\/\/org374nextwww.jagran.com\/business\/biz-ravi-modi-success-story-from-salesman-to-billionaire-founder-of-vedant-fashions-40268798.html?utm_source=article_detail&amp;utm_medium=CRE&amp;utm_campaign=latestnews_CRE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ownership sits largely with the Ravi Modi Family Trust, which holds 57.20% of the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bseindia.com\/stock-share-price\/vedant-fashions-ltd\/manyavar\/543463\/disclosures-sdd-sast-promoter\/#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/za.investing.com\/equities\/vedant-fashions-ownership#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>. In 2023, the trust sold 9.88% of its holding, a step that lifted public ownership to 25% and met SEBI&#8217;s listing requirement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bseindia.com\/stock-share-price\/vedant-fashions-ltd\/manyavar\/543463\/disclosures-sdd-sast-promoter\/#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/ravi-modi\/?sh=24bfded06830#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is one detail in the annual disclosure worth pausing on. Through the financial year ending 31 March 2026, no promoter or promoter group shares were pledged or encumbered. Promoter pledging is common enough in India&#8217;s listed companies that its absence is itself a signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"from_a_%E2%82%B910000_loan_to_a_%E2%82%B932000_crore_market_cap\"><\/span><strong>from a \u20b910,000 loan to a \u20b932,000 crore market cap<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company began in 2002, after Ravi Modi had already spent years working in a clothing store and decided to go out on his own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesnownews.com\/business-economy\/industry\/meet-ravi-modi-the-man-who-turned-a-rs-10000-loan-from-his-mother-into-the-billion-dollar-brand-manyavar-article-153364626#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>. He borrowed \u20b910,000 from his mother and opened the first Manyavar store in Kolkata, selling ready-made kurta-pajama sets at around \u20b9200 apiece. In the earliest days he sold kurtas at a loss of \u20b910 each to Vishal Mega Mart, simply because it was the one outlet that paid in cash and gave him the working capital to keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What he was targeting had been left unattended. Affordable ethnic wear for weddings and festivals was either the scattered work of local tailors or high-end customisation at prices most families could not reach. The middle ground was empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time Vedant Fashions listed in 2022, its market capitalisation had crossed \u20b932,000 crore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/amp\/business\/from-rs-10000-this-man-built-a-rs-32000-crore-empire-that-is-synonymous-with-indian-weddings-9138075.html#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>. The IPO was entirely an offer for sale, with the company raising \u20b93,149.19 crore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneycontrol.com\/news\/business\/ipo\/vedant-fashions-listing-defies-pessimism-what-should-investors-do-now-8108341.html#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>. In May 2026, the company reported quarterly net profit of \u20b9114.3 crore, up 13.2% year-on-year, on revenue of \u20b9399.4 crore. The board recommended a final dividend of \u20b97.75 per share for FY26 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bseindia.com\/xml-data\/corpfiling\/AttachHis\/4870abb4-9130-4777-81ef-2c135373e365.pdf#3#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One feature defines how the business runs. Most of the 670-plus outlets are franchise-run rather than company-owned, which keeps the balance sheet light and debt off the books. Vedant Fashions concentrates on brand, design, and manufacturing, while franchisees fund the retail expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the_quiet_lifestyle_and_the_wealth_philosophy\"><\/span><strong>the quiet lifestyle and the wealth philosophy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ravi Modi&#8217;s public profile sits in contrast to how visible his brand has become. Manyavar&#8217;s advertising features Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma, Ranveer Singh, and Alia Bhatt, yet Ravi Modi himself rarely appears on camera <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/ravi-modi\/?sh=24bfded06830#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He skipped the company&#8217;s 2022 listing ceremony at the National Stock Exchange <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/ravi-modi\/?sh=24bfded06830#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>. He lives on the outskirts of Kolkata, where he grows fruits and vegetables. In 2017, he bought the Mercedes-Benz he had wanted for years, fifteen years after he first planned to buy one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His view on wealth was captured in an interview: earning wealth without having the time to enjoy it makes little sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_retail_investors_can_take_from_this\"><\/span><strong>what retail investors can take from this<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bootstrapped does not mean inexperienced.<\/strong> Ravi Modi had been working in his father&#8217;s clothing shop since he was 13. His understanding of the trade came from decades of first-hand experience, not a business school <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesnownews.com\/business-economy\/industry\/meet-ravi-modi-the-man-who-turned-a-rs-10000-loan-from-his-mother-into-the-billion-dollar-brand-manyavar-article-153364626#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A light-asset model can produce high margins.<\/strong> Vedant Fashions does not own most of its stores, which lets it grow without carrying the capital expenditure of retail expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Zero promoter pledging is a signal.<\/strong> The FY26 annual disclosure shows no pledged promoter shares.

But the way Ravi Modi accumulated his wealth, growing through profit rather than outside capital, holding a large stake, and avoiding leverage, offers a set of principles worth studying.
