Editorial Note
The first Indian volume that treats family businesses as nation-builders, not headlines — a portrait of ten families whose second, third, and fourth generations quietly built modern India.
§ Synopsis
Inside the book.
Every large modern Indian enterprise you can name — and many you cannot — began at a family dining table. The Family Business Code sits down with ten of them.
Across four years of interviews, archival access, and shop-floor visits from Rajkot to Guwahati, this volume reconstructs the succession logic, capital discipline, and cultural glue that have allowed India's family enterprises to survive Partition, licence-raj, liberalisation, and now digital disruption. It is a book about how a family becomes an institution — and, sometimes, a country.
