Family Offices Bet Big on India's Growth-Stage Start-ups

These family offices bring patient capital to new-age businesses and provide not only financial support but also relationship capital and expertise capital. They have accounted for a significant portion of venture capital investments in Indian start-ups and are helping bridge the gap between entrepreneurial ambition and financial backing. Additionally, family offices are also unlocking domestic capital for start-ups, filling funding gaps, and diversifying investment portfolios.

LTCG tax parity may bring more family offices to the startupland

Family offices of millionaires in India are expected to increase their investments in startups following budget proposals that aim to bring parity to long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax and abolish the angel tax. There are currently around 300 family offices, up from 45 in 2018, according to a PwC report. The removal of angel tax and the uniform 12.5% LTCG tax on all financial assets are seen as significant attractions for investment in private companies. This change may incentivize exits by early-stage investors and encourage more domestic capital into the startup ecosystem.
