In this episode, Rajiv Gupta, Chairperson of Master's Union School of Family Business, who has spent decades studying what makes and breaks Indian family-run businesses, dives deep into the unseen truths of legacy, leadership, and what it takes to run a business that thrives across generations.

We spoke about everything from Mukesh Ambani’s obsession with execution to why Indian loyalty at the workplace is still unmatched. Rajiv breaks down why family businesses often fail to scale, and the importance of treating employees like actual people, not machines. He also shares how unresolved trauma and control issues show up in business, and why not every family member needs to be part of the company.

Towards the end, he shares the real reason families fight over business, why most businesses don’t survive past the second generation, and a step-by-step guide for anyone planning to take over their family business.
