Family Business
Practice
Family-owned enterprises contribute over 80% of India’s GDP and account for more than 75% of its publicly listed companies. They carry legacy, navigate complexity, and operate at the intersection of ownership, family, and enterprise where no standard advisory model applies. Executive Access’s Family Business Practice is built specifically for this intersection.
They face a convergence of pressures unlike any other enterprise: generational handovers, professionalisation demands, shifting governance expectations, and the constant pressure of balancing legacy with what comes next. They need a partner who understands this from the inside.
