“Private wealth in India is burgeoning, and UHNIs are increasingly turning to venture capital and private equity ecosystem as an asset class. Incumbents, digital entrepreneurs, celebrities, NRIs are setting up family offices and investing in the Indian startup ecosystem, which has generated 14 new unicorns in 2021 so far. These family offices are providing businesses with patient capital, and we are closely following the role that these family offices play in the Indian startup ecosystem.”
