Gen Z heirs in India are moving away from legacy businesses, choosing personal paths over traditional roles. Many are building startups, exploring creative fields, or opting for work that feels more meaningful. Family-run businesses make up nearly 70 percent of India’s economy and contribute over half of the GDP. If more successors step back, we may see a shift toward private equity, professional management, and even large asset sales. This isn’t a crisis. It’s a reset. Some emotional ownership and long-term thinking may be lost, but it also opens the door for fresh leadership, sharper execution, and new ways of thinking. The challenge now is this, how do we keep the spirit of legacy alive when the next generation isn’t bound to it?

This is honestly heartbreaking. These family businesses built India's middle class over generations. Now privileged kids want to "find themselves" instead of honoring their family's sacrifice. Some traditions are worth preserving.

"Some will. Some won't. So what? Next." Rejection isn’t personal—just part of the process. Top performers don’t dwell on a "no." Detach. Reset. Move forward. Took me long to understand this. You should understand it first.

In the next 2 generations, no one even remember you ,even if they remember you, who cares? You’re dead. The legacy you leave isn’t about being remembered, it’s about how you lived. Stop stressing over what’s beyond your control and focus on living

Jaguar's rebrand was a great case study of Innovation vs Legacy. And the innovation backfired, their Legacy WON. What is the right approach to innovate? Does legacy play a far bigger role than innovation?

Keep thinking about the influence of behavioural science in AI. People beginning to prefer anthropic over chatgpt because of the way it's able to communicate is the perfect perfect example.

Out of Apple's shortlist of losses over the last 50 years, losing Sir Jony Ive to OpenAI may be one of the most consequential. I'm very curious to see what they're cooking up.
