## Synopsis

Bad Boy Billionaires: India (2020-2025) is a British-produced investigative documentary docuseries for Netflix, a true crime style look at the wealthy business figures who built fortunes in India. Across four hour-long episodes, the series follows the trail of greed, fraud, and corruption that powered the rise of the country's most notorious tycoons and then brought them down. Rather than a fictional drama, it is built from investigative reporting, archival material, and interviews, with the narrative driven by how each empire was assembled on questionable deals and how its collapse exposed the excess beneath. Each episode works like a case file, moving from the ambition of the founders to the accounts, contracts, and courtroom or regulatory fallout that followed. The tone is sharp, skeptical, and gripping, with a cool, forensic pace that treats wealth as a suspect. Fans of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley, and Tiger King will find the same appeal here: a compact, self-contained docuseries about power, money, and the reckoning that follows. It suits viewers who enjoy business scandal and true crime in a single sitting.
