PP Vineet Bhatnagar: So, we’ll start with family businesses. We are seeing that many next-generation heirs prefer to manage family investment offices rather than run family businesses. You have a long history of a family-run business house. How do you think business families can change the scale and scope of their traditional businesses, or even set...
