Navigating Succession in Indian Family Businesses

For decades, Indian family businesses have operated on trust, tradition, and unwritten rules. But as generational transitions approach, and as businesses scale or seek external capital, these legacy structures are coming under pressure. Succession in Indian family businesses is no longer a backroom conversation, it's becoming a strategic imperative. And as new voices emerge in old rooms, the question is no longer if the change will come, but how prepared families are to manage it. Host Dia Rekhi talks to Falguni Shah, Partner at PwC and Srinath Sridharan, corporate advisor and author of Family and Dhanda about this shift. Why are more families writing constitutions? What role do generational gaps, investor pressure, and changing cultural attitudes play? And are these isolated cases or the early signs of a broader transformation? Tune in.
