Family and Dhanda: A to Z of Succession Planning for Founders and Successors (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789361566875)

Family-owned businesses (FOBs) are the backbone of India's economy, contributing over 75 per cent to the national GDP-among the highest globally. These businesses hold the potential to not only reach towering heights of success but also transform India into a global economic powerhouse. Yet, sustaining this success across generations is no easy feat.

FOBs account for two-thirds of publicly traded companies in India and deliver shareholder returns twice as high as their non-family counterparts. But what sets the successful ones apart? A strong culture, good governance and a focus on value creation, professionalism and transparency. In contrast, internal family politics, gender biases and succession disputes have derailed many promising legacies.

In Family and Dhanda, Dr Srinath Sridharan-seasoned corporate advisor and strategic counsel with nearly three decades of experience-explains the art and science of succession planning, crafted specifically for India's unique cultural and business landscape. Packed with real-world examples, practical insights and an A-to-Z roadmap, this book is an indispensable guide for every family business, big or small, looking to secure its future and thrive across generations.

If you are part of a family business-or simply fascinated by the dynamics of business and legacy- this book promises to be your playbook for success.
