To take it to that level as a group, the second and third generations also need to have an entrepreneurial mindset. In India, 87% of our GDP is from family-owned businesses. We are the third largest country, when it comes to just family businesses. While founders are fabulous, family businesses also have a very important place. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generations also have a very important role. Sometimes, people don’t think through that.”
