Building blocks

Family run businesses are a significant segment of any nation’s economy. A family business can be a single-owner firm or a large industrial house. In India, Family Business contribute close to 25 per cent of GDP, about $670 billion (BCG 2020). According to Mint, only 12 per cent of family business make it to 3rd generation and 3 per cent make it to the fourth. Most family businesses fail to survive multiple generations because they do not address succession planning, risk management, and suffer from interdependencies between the family, the business, and ownership. COVID-19 has only accentuated the need for family businesses to build resilience, to survive and sustain black swan moments.
