Kalyanaraman started learning the business from his father when he was 12, completing simple tasks at the shop after school. He studied commerce at Sree Kerala Varma College in his hometown before managing the family’s textile shop and subsequently starting his jewelry business with 7.5 million rupees.

The billionaire is the first owner of a private jet in Kerala, known for its palm-lined beaches and plantation-covered hills. He bought the seven-seater Embraer Phenom 100 about a year ago for 300 million rupees to visit his chain of jewelry shops in the other parts of India.

For just a one- or two-hour job, I would spend one-a-half days because I would go there and come back only the next day.”
