Who is it for

Built for the next
generation of legacy.

This program is not for everyone. It is designed for a very specific kind of leader — one who carries the weight of generations and the ambition to take it further.

01
Second & Third Generation Inheritors
You've taken over a business built by your parents or grandparents. You want to modernise it, scale it with AI, and put your own stamp on its next chapter — without breaking what your family built.
02
Family Enterprise Professionals
You work within the family business — as a director, operations head, or business unit leader. You want the MBA credential, the strategic tools, and the peer network to lead at a higher level.
03
Promoters Building for the Next 100 Years
You're already in the driver's seat — but you see disruption coming. AI, globalisation, shifting consumer behaviour. This program gives you the toolkit to adapt, diversify, and lead your family business into the next era.
Program Outcomes

Two transformations.
One program.

Every module is designed to deliver one of two core outcomes — or both. You leave with AI fluency and a business that runs smarter.

Use AI to grow, scale, and automate your family business
From automating legacy processes to building AI-powered growth engines — this track is for family business leaders who want to run a leaner, faster, more profitable business using the latest tools without replacing what works.

02
Track B · Lead & Professionalise

Built for leaders who cannot step away from the business.
Your Peer Group

The only room where
everyone gets it.

Running a family business is a unique experience. Your peers here are not startup founders or corporate managers — they are family business leaders, industrialists, and legacy builders who understand exactly what you're navigating.

Built for family business leaders. Exclusively.
Every member of your cohort runs or leads a family enterprise. No outsiders. No corporate employees. No startup founders unless they have family business roots. The conversations in this room are unfiltered, high-value, and completely unique to this peer group.
Your cohort will include second-gen inheritors from manufacturing families in Gujarat, real estate dynasties from Mumbai, trading houses from Singapore, and hospitality groups from across India — each bringing decades of institutional knowledge to the room.

Business Partnerships
Cross-industry business partnerships formed between cohort members are one of the highest-value outcomes. Your next supplier, distributor, or JV partner could be in your cohort.

Peer Mentorship
Nothing beats advice from someone who has navigated the same family dynamics, the same succession conversations, the same professionalisation challenges.
🌍
Global Business Access
Your peers span India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East — opening doors to new markets, new suppliers, and new opportunities across borders.
🎯
Curated & Screened
Every cohort member is screened for calibre. Acceptance is based on business size, leadership role, and peer fit — not just willingness to pay.
Faculty & Mentors

Learn from people who
built lasting empires.

Our faculty are not academics or consultants. They are operators, industrialists, investors, and family business stalwarts who've navigated exactly what you're facing.
