About the Program

Welcome to our Family Business Management Programme, where tradition meets innovation, and expertise blends with the entrepreneurial spirit. The programme empowers next-generation leaders and seasoned entrepreneurs alike with essential skills and strategies for thriving in the dynamic landscape of family-owned businesses. From governance to succession planning, our expert faculty offers tailored guidance for enduring success. Join us in redefining the future of family business management.

Family businesses have a long-term vision and tend to perform better than corporate enterprises. However, only 13% of family businesses survive to the 3rd generation and one-third of families disintegrate due to generational conflict. Indian family businesses form the backbone of the Indian economy and there is a need to extend the lifespan of these businesses to ensure the economy continues to benefit from their contribution.
