Panel I: Emergence of family offices in India & latest trends in the space

With the number of millionaires increasing, India’s super rich are in a continuous spree of setting up family offices with the idea of investing in the high risk-high return model. However, business owners can’t get away with running and operating their existing giant businesses. How do successful business families and HNIs distinguish handling their businesses from managing their personal and family wealth? What is the scope for a family office in India? Do family offices bear the brunt of the ongoing business slowdown? What are the overlapping elements in the family office of a promoter and a private equity division within a promoter-held organisation? How does one leverage the brand equity gained by the family over decades for venturing in to new industry verticals?
