Summary
$30 billion managed by about 300 Indian family offices is the pool FICCI is targeting with a new Family Office Forum aimed at steering more long-term domestic capital into startups.
The platform is meant to fix fragmented deal flow, limited co-investment access, duplicated due diligence and the lack of a common network linking family offices with startups and venture capital firms.
FICCI said the forum will roll out curated investment opportunities, demo days, co-investment structures and shared due diligence, while also acting as a collective voice on tax and regulatory issues.
India's industry leaders said family offices have grown into a distinct source of patient capital, and the new forum is designed to become the bridge between rising private wealth and the country's innovation ecosystem.
