Report Finds Majority of Indian Wealthy Families Lack Formal Succession Plans
A report by Grant Thornton Bharat and Entrust Family Office finds that only about 36-42 percent of Indian wealthy families have a documented succession plan, while many others have informal agreements or are discussing succession without formalizing it. The study, based on interviews with family business leaders managing wealth from Rs 100 crore to Rs 10,000 crore, highlights that succession is increasingly viewed as an ongoing process involving preparation and governance. Wealth preservation, diversification, and legacy building are key priorities among these families.
