"Life is more than chasing money; it's about purpose, relationships, and meaningful moments."
#1 Bestselling author, real estate investor, syndicator, tech enthusiast, and philanthropist, Saket Jain is the Founder and CEO of Impact Wealth Builders. He has over 15+ years of experience in real estate investing.
Over the last 5 years, Saket has taken a particular interest in class B/C multifamily apartments in markets that have strong fundamentals. Along with his partners, Saket has built a portfolio of over 2000 units totaling $200M in assets across several US markets; the portfolio has consistently achieved double-digit returns.
Additionally, Saket has committed his resources to educating underprivileged kids, enabling them to join the next generation of wealth builders.
Saket earned his MBA at Columbia Business School and achieved his Bachelor in Engineering at IIT, India. When he is not working, Saket loves to spend time with his wife of 19 years and 2 daughters.
In a world fixated on material gain, our next feature, Saket Jain’s story, highlights the significance of purpose-driven success. Initially navigating the corporate landscape as a business consultant for esteemed companies like AirBnB, Saket realized that despite financial prosperity, something essential was missing from his life.
This newfound awareness prompted a shift towards a heart-centered approach to wealth-building and investment. He went on to found Impact Wealth Builders and Migrate2Wealth with a focus on rewriting the narrative of finance, inclusivity, and sustainable impact.
His companies challenge the conventional emphasis on profit margins by prioritizing the well-being of investors and communities. With a portfolio exceeding $300M in assets, Saket’s companies not only deliver incredible returns but allocate a portion of profits to philanthropic endeavours, such as educating underserved children.
This commitment to social responsibility underscores Saket’s mission to create a financial landscape that not only benefits all stakeholders but benefits the world at large. We sat down with Saket Jain to learn more about his companies.

Can you tell us a bit about your “backstory”? What led you to the creation of Impact Wealth Builders and Migrate2Wealth?
Saket Jain: Early in my career, I served as a business consultant and have since worked for notable companies such as AirBnB. Although I enjoyed the intellectual stimulation and I was making great amounts of money, something was missing in my life and I was deeply unfulfilled. Over time, I started to realize that life was about more than chasing money or material things.
Knowing that I needed a shift, I began to explore a heart-centered approach to building wealth through investments that led me to the creation of my companies: Impact Wealth Builders and Migrate 2 Wealth.
Through my companies and the Migrate 2 Wealth Podcast, I aim to create an impact on the world while providing sustainable outcomes for all stakeholders.
What differentiates your approach to finance and wealth-building in comparison to other approaches?
Saket Jain: I consider the core of my work to be ‘compassionate finance’. In the world of finance, there is a lot of emphasis placed on statistics and spreadsheets, and although ROI is important, there can be a lack of social responsibility and a lack of well-being focus.
Along with our investors, Impact Wealth Builders has built a portfolio of over $300M in assets across various asset classes, consistently delivering double-digit returns. Yet, a portion and percentage of our profits go back to my philanthropy: educating underserved children—a cause my investors can opt into supporting as well if they choose to.
We focus on the whole well-being of investors, such as their sense of fulfillment, and consistently provide them opportunities to do good in their communities and the world at large.
How do your experiences and worldview as an immigrant inform your company?
Saket Jain: When I set foot in the United States, I felt I was starting from scratch—no family, no friends, just a determination to build a better future. While the foundation was there, I had to construct everything else from the ground up.
Being an immigrant and the first generation of my family to pursue higher education, this fundamentally shifted my perspective. Unfortunately, during my early years in the States, I felt isolated and unsupported.
Through my company, I seek to provide a space where everyone feels they belong and have the resources they need to succeed. My experiences as an immigrant drive this fire to ensure that no one feels alone on their journey like I did.
Why do you think there is a lack of diversity and financial education?
Saket Jain: Unfortunately, there is not enough education around financial wellness. Professionals often use complicated jargon and terminology that further alienates and intimidates people, leading them to conclude that finance or investing is complicated.
When in reality, it’s not. I want to create a landscape where resources to better your life are available to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, and ages.
There is a specific way the top 1% structure their assets and build a diversified portfolio. Until recently, they were considered to be the secrets of the ultra-rich, including investment opportunities that very few have access to. Through our company, we are making these offerings available to individuals who are in their wealth-building phase.
And, we remove intimidation from it by focusing on empowering our community through access to education and personal advisors who I’ve hand-curated over the past 20 years.
Explain your position on the intersection of well-being and financial wellness.
Saket Jain: As mentioned above, I struggled to fulfill my purpose. In a bold move, my wife and I decided to leave everything and spend two years in a monastery, observing and experiencing the ways of the monks. Although the decision could seem unorthodox, it was the best learning experience of our lives.
During this period, we had the privilege to learn from people who embody a profound sense of mindfulness and discipline. Being in their presence has changed the way I see the world.
Through these two years, I learned how to cultivate a balanced and fulfilled life. Their teachings and wisdom have influenced not only my business decisions but also how I approach business, wealth, challenges, triumphs, and the pursuit of my purpose.
We can never truly be fulfilled, or happy if we are missing a core element in our lives. Money/Finance is one of those elements, but contrary to popular belief, it is not the only important element.
