Redefining Prosperity in a Borderless World: Indus Strategy's Perspective on Capital, Selection, and Commitment
In the dynamic world of investment, Indus Strategy is making waves with its innovative approach to digital transformation, data, and AI strategies. The company recently announced the launch of a GIFT City-based vehicle aimed at facilitating outbound allocations by Indian family offices.
The announcement came at the Family Office Summit 2025, held at Taj Lands End, Mumbai. This year's summit, themed "Decoding the Asset Allocation Conundrum", aimed to address the challenging asset allocation puzzle faced by family offices.
The summit emphasised multidimensional approaches and tailored blueprints that focus on alternative assets, real estate, private markets, and disciplined long-term strategies. Key speakers at the event included Mr. Umasankar Nistala, a specialist in digital transformation, data, and AI strategies, and Capt. BVJK Sharma, a veteran of country critical infrastructure and multi-model projects.
Shift in Asset Allocation Strategies
Family offices in India are increasingly allocating to alternative assets, but remain cautious about more exotic investments like luxury collectibles. Real estate continues to be a core asset class for family offices, highlighted as a key focus in investment management strategies during the summit.
Themes such as a shift towards protectionist policies, growing importance of private markets, and the critical role of disciplined, long-term asset allocation were emphasized as vital to navigating current challenges.
Innovative Ideas and Customized Solutions
Panels at the VCCircle Family Office Summit 2025 showcased innovative ideas on asset allocation and the future of family office investing. These reflections of a commitment to customized solutions tailored to each family's goals and risk tolerance were evident throughout the event.
Mr. Miten Mehta, a tech evangelist rooted in Silicon Valley innovation, and Mr. Harshad Malhotra, a BFSI stalwart with extensive capital markets knowledge, were among the speakers who shared their insights.
Indus Strategy: More Than Just Allocation
Indus Strategy, not just here to allocate, but to build, partner, and pioneer what's next, was well-represented at the summit. The company, an investor-partner and advisory model, is powered by a team of mentors, specialists, and strategic minds.
Indus doesn't just manage wealth; they co-create purpose-built frameworks. They blend access with agility, conviction with compliance, and foresight with humility. Mr. Kishor Janani, an anchor in investor engagement and institutional outreach, and Mr. Yogesh Chadha, a veteran banker chairing the Board of Advisors at Indus, were among the key representatives present.
A Seamless and Responsive On-Ground Presence
Amanda Saldanha ensured a seamless and responsive on-ground presence during the Family Office Summit 2025. Ms. Dipali Patil, a banker and trade finance specialist with a vast network in the GCC region, and Mr. Vaibhav Shukla, a legal strategist with global structuring expertise, also contributed to the event's success.
The session on "Familiarity Bias" emphasized the importance of structured access, global optionality, and governance-led execution. Illiquidity in private markets was discussed as a blessing, as it infuses forced patience to hold hidden gems for long-term.
In conclusion, the Family Office Summit 2025 provided a platform for discussion and the sharing of insights on the evolving landscape of asset allocation. The event underscored the need for a flexible, curated asset allocation framework that balances tradition with strategic alternatives, adapting to evolving market realities and generational engagement needs.
